Why do we tolerate the TSA? The DHS? The "patriot act"?

26. Fear pure and simple.

We are afraid of losing our jobs...and if you lose your job you lose your car and your house and cannot eat except out of a garbage can.
We are afraid of going to jail...made even more fearful knowing that someone will do a body cavity search on your ass.
And then the guards will not be around when that big scary career criminal makes you his bitch.
We are afraid that if we say something wrong they investigate you....and you and all of us know they can plant some coke on you and you don't have a chance in hell of proving it.

Start to see a pattern here?...yep it is all to keep us in our places and our mouths shut and stay far away from any protest.
Want a primer on how to beat it?...read up on the freedom riders....they were not afraid to go to jail...well they wee afraid but they did not let that stop them....and one went two took their place on the line.
But today every thing is on the line because we are totally dependent on the system...much different than in the 60s
