I only used them to show what a sacrafice to me, looks like. I would feel better if we were told of all the things caught by the screeners and why they search us. Perhaps the truth would scare us too much to fly. I won't jump out of an airplane but will continue to fly.MUDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210979052443058111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-19801356290926383372010-11-20T16:46:10.276-05:002010-11-20T16:46:10.276-05:00Me choosing not to fly does not mean I do not love...Me choosing not to fly does not mean I do not love soldiers. I'm still free, that hasn't changed. Declining to avail myself of air travel does not mean a solder's accomplishment is diminished. I do not equate a grope with love by my government.

If you have time and money, drive but don't let anything get in your way of doing what you want to do. If soldiers have to die to maintain your freedom, surely you can pass through security. Freedom isn't free and sometimes a grope doesn't mean they love you!MUDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210979052443058111noreply@blogger.com
