We feel safer already

The new anti-liquid rules for airports is making us all feel safer.

From The Nation:
The other day at the airport in Burlington, Vermont, security guards confiscated liquid containers from two adolescent sisters returning home from vacation. The substance was labeled "Pure Maple Syrup." I am reminded of the Amish pretzel factory that was put on Pennsylvania's list of targets. Mothers with babes in arms are now told they must take a swiq of their baby formula before they can board the plane. I already feel safer.
Why is it that when new anti-terror rules are put in place only the innocent suffer?

Simple answer: politics.

The Republicans need the terror card to maintain their death grip on the American government. Have they been compentent stewards? Are we really better off since they've been in power?

We think not.
