"A nation that threatens inaugural performers with arrest if they make one false move is of course descending into paranoia. First, we feared and hated the other. We were told that Arabs, Muslims, and all foreigners posed a threat to our safety. The paranoia justified the Department of Homeland Security takeover of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Now all foreigners entering the United States are photographed and fingerprinted like common criminals posing for mug shots.

Like every other human emotion, paranoia is contagious. It can be directed only at one group for so long. Eventually everyone becomes a suspect. Outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge has proposed that American passports require fingerprints. The suggestion came and went without comment from the vast majority of the public, following along like sheep, doing the emperor's bidding without question. That is a sure sign of insanity."
