(82,383 posts)What is being late to work? If our freedom can be taken away because we don't want to be late to work, we're complacent.
It would have been easier for Rosa Parks just to get up and go to the back of the bus. Some things are worth fighting for. Your post indicates that it is not worth it, just roll over and be the victims of a police state, over minor things.
If you are fired for being late to work that day, you have a bigger case. No one "loses" their children from not picking them up or has no alternative in the face of fighting an incipient police state. Your post shows you know we don't fight an incipient police state, and that's why it was not worth the OP's time to fight against it.
If the TSA is really abusing their power, someone will make a case of it. Look at our history and you can bet on that. And the courts will hear the case and decide. That doesn't happen in police states.
