Would somebody PLEASE have a talk with Chuck Schumer?
Now he's proposing that the TSA establish checkpoints and intrusive searches for railroad passengers because of what was found in bin Laden's archives, despite the fact that (a) bin Laden is dead, (b) al-Qaeda will never be as powerful as it once was, and (c) everyone freakin' hates the TSA.

If Schumer wants to make it easier for Republicans to defeat Democrats in 2012, he's doing a great job of it. :mad:

3. I would propose, however...
...that the Bush administration did more to scare Americans into compliance with authority than al-Qaeda ever did.

5. True enough
however, we still don't need this nonsense being proposed by Schumer.
