But that is where we disagree. I don't think the system is looking the other
way and violating the foundations of our country. I think we must always
strike some balance between personal freedom and group responsibility. This
balance may shift depending on the level of the threat. Is it an infringment
on your rights to have metal detectors at federal buildings. Aren't the
innocent being assumed to be guilty of carrying weapons when they are forced
to empty their pockets and walk through the detector?
