By the way, TSA now has permission not just to turn-on your laptop, but to confiscate it [without providing reason] and/or making an instant copy of entire Hard Drive contents! So much for Freedom in America. Children in the USA have long been trained in school, religions, TV, other media, society-at-large to trust and 'respect' police and police-like-entities of all kinds. I was brought-up by my unusual parents to NOT trust any figures of authority or their police agents of all types. [needless to say they had FBI files.] Ditto the ultra-rich. Such a start in life from family is rare in America - way less than a few% I'd hazard to guess....and most from the oppressed.
