You're smarter than the rest of the world

I've thought about it more than most people.

| the intelligence community is useless at stopping terror attacks|

Largely. More en pointe, however, the intelligence community isn't the TSA.

The TSA is useless

Wholly and completely.

| and they enjoy strip-searching people|

It is demonstrably so. You're a white guy. So am I. I have friends. He's Moroccan. She's Persian. You don't wanna hear their stories.

Somehow, it's fun for underpaid government workers with low morale to be constantly accused of being perverted and trampling on the rights of others

I know a lady who quit the TSA at LAX to work for the DMV in Compton. The reason they're constantly accused is they're constantly provoking accusation.

You're making this way too simple

The Swedish have to worry about terrorism a lot less than the Israelis because they provoke a lot less terrorism. I say that being Jewish enough to qualify for the Right of Return.

and saying things way too matter-of-factly for us to have an interesting discussion.

I'm not trying to have a discussion, I'm trying to shut you up. The TSA is evil. Demonstrably, factually evil. They are keeping no one safe and their ultimate goal is not liberty or safety, it is self-preservation.

FYI, accusing me of "not wanting to understand any deeper" is completely uncalled for (beyond the fact that it's not true.)

"I don't see the problem with pornoscanners?"

"The Israelis don't respect rights so neither should we?"

This isn't deserving of a conversation, it's deserving of a beatdown.
