Both opinions are valid. I'm in agreement with David. In this age of
terrorists-r'us the gap between essential and absolute Liberty has
shrunk in favor of survival. Anyone who wants (damn goverment or

resctrictions about what I can carry on a plane if that helps to
frustrate the effors of the Islamofascists.
