We can get into a discussion of how it all started when the great 
Communist FDR blackmailed the supreme court to misinterpret the Commerce 
Clause, and how that led to the regulation of EVERYTHING including 
airlines and the great loss of freedoms we enjoy today... But why 
over-complicate things.  The airlines are private industry.  They are 
regulated, as is EVERYTHING these days.  Americans are STUPID and need 
to be protected from themselves (not my opinion, the opinion of thsoe in 
power).  People don't *have to be searched* they can ride amtrak if they 
object so much (for foreigners, thats the train).  Anyway, let not 
confuse things, do we need to fight a war in the middle east, probably. 
 Is the Bush Admin's recent record on liberty frightening, yes.  Are the 
two related, no.
