Raymond, the vaunted American 'freedom of speech' is over. It is illegal to use any word in the hearing of wacko brainless security people which they don't like. Surely the security people could take the comment as having meaning and an expression of frustration. It is illegal to express frustration and a point of view that the authorities are not contributing to greater human happiness. No wonder people like Mr Invictus McVeigh and Ted Kaczynski go nuts and demonstrate yet again that individuals have a thing called free will and they will not be slaves. They are not automatons, despite the current determination to blame Uncle Green$pan for the bubble as though the buyers were mindless Zombies. Sure, McVeigh and Kaczynski have personalities of dubious stability and sense, but if such people are handled sensibly, they are unlikely to go seriously off the rails into mayhem. Waco was far worse than Tienanmen Square because the Wackoes were surrounded and out of the way. Tienanmen's mob was an unmanageable shambles with direct political challenge to the state's existence. There was no reason for many people including many children to die at Waco. The mass murders at schools, workplaces and elsewhere seem to be a similar manifestation of the same thing. What a mess. I say Osama is well ahead on the scoreboard. He's managed to stop me going there by inducing the airline industry and government hangers on, already insufferable, to make life near airports intolerable. Why on earth do they need to handcuff the guy? Zero threat or reason to even suspect the hint of a threat. What if he stumbles while arrested and injures his face on the ground? Can he sue the person who stupidly put handcuffs on him for reckless disregard for safety? Incidentally, they are more likely to catch terrorists by letting people speak freely - wacko terrorists would be more conspicuous if everyone was behaving normally and free to speak their minds. Rows of cowed, immobile, expressionless people all look the same. There's no way to pick out the oddballs. Though they missed the obvious shoebomber - incredible!! Mq
