I dissent. Americans are spoiled babies. For a short while in the backdrop of something big, 911 eg, they accepted some change, but the griping yesterday is indicative of the lack of ability to accept some sacrifice for higher shared concerns*. Unfortunately it will probably take a Bojinka III or suicide bombers in McDonalds in flyover land before we would accept real security changes.
