It is broke. I think we should look at the way Israel handles their airport security.

I looked up how Israel handles with airport security & find this news article: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2011/01/whats_so_great_about_israeli_security.html Sadly, I was not aware of Israel's security. However, I relate to this a great deal since this past May & June I went to Afghanistan - and I was traveling with an Afghan citizen. I understand why they would be more cautious. Our coming back flight stopped in Dubai and we expected to have problems coming into the USA, but we also faced issues in Amsterdam. We were questioned a little longer than the other people - almost missed the flight because of it, twice - in Amsterdam & in the USA to coming to Phoenix. However, it did not bother us - we knew we would face issues. I don't even know how many times I was x-rayed - or how much time we spent talking to officials a little longer than everyone else and it happened everywhere we stopped, not only in the USA! I agree with these terms of not being so strict when leaving the USA, but coming back I could understand why the security was a little tighter.

Yes. Freedom is simply doing or not doing whatever one pleases. Always are the consequences to be aware of. The state wants to cut down on its death stastics.

Families in Birmingham, Alabama who are illegal and speak spanish are feeling the need to take thier kids out of school to avoid any law breaking. The superintendent realized many students were not showing up to school so had to adress all the spanish speakers by a tv show in spanish.

We all know that cell phone use while driving creates distractions. Are we aware of what the costs are due to the accidents created by this distraction? Once you read this information my bet is that many cell phone use behaviors will change.

Music has always had the power to strike fear into parents' hearts, which is why it is so attractive to young people. This hasn't changed since the days when the Beatles shocked the world. What has changed is that popular music lyrics have become much more explicit.
