Then again, the government should have better priorities than chasing down "terrorists". A few thousand people have died in US history due to "terrorism". Millions died during the last flu epidemic.
Don't give them any ideas. This country is already operating in negative dollars.

I each lunch in the basement of my (lower manhattan) building fairly often. There's security guys that regularly patrol with dogs. One of the things you get to notice is that trained dogs, however smart they are, are still... well, dogs.
A guy in a turban could be walking by with looney toons bombs falling out his briefcase, but if Fido sees another dog across the terminal, there's not much that's going to prevent him from checking it out.
Not to be a jackass, but that's a logical error. Introducing more apprentices into a group increases both the number of people ahead of and behind the mean. In this case, I think more than not will be perpetually amateur players or people who quickly drop the hobby than those who go on to fame.
I would rather have to have to buy new toothpaste because the airline won't get my bags to me for another day than risk having a loved one killed crossing the pond.
The only way to ensure someone has no risk of being killed doing something is to kill them beforehand.
I would rather your perception on risk in no way affects how the rest of us conduct our travel.
Fixed. The terorrists have expended far less effort and manpower but caused more damage (economic and rights-wise especially) than any other group in history.
I think you're missing the bigger picture here. The effect is that some folks "are pissed." What is actually happening when these sort of things happen is that the government is using force to impose it's will irrespective of all other justification."
Step 1: Go to patent office
Step 2: Say what you just told us, and that you would like to copyright it.
Step 3: When officer opens his mouth to say "but that's already been...", quick add "no no, I meant on the internet!
Step 4: Profit.
Couldn't it easily be one of those one-way-blind setups? The police can read the supermarket's data, but the supermarket can only read the police's data if certain criteria are met. (ie, he is a "terrorist", and a popup window appears warning he is armed and dangerous, mugshot, etc)
Do we as citizens have a moral responsibility to stop this/them ?
As a matter of fact, the founding fathers specifically commanded you to in their Declaration of Independence:
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government

We still allowed fertilizer to be transported by truck after the Oklahoma City bombing.
How else are we going to transport it? The fucking teleporter?
Instead of asking "why don't you just accept this restriction" you should really be asking "why should it exist in the first place"
Slashdot can always use more leved-headed discussions.
Eww, you want to do the same thing off hours that you do at work? It would either make the hobby boring or work torture :(
That's like if I was a garbagement and spent my weekends driving around picking up empty soda cans.

Heh, I liked that :) Especially when the dual meaning of your last sentence hit me a few comments later.

I don't think there exists a greater crime.
Screw the sheep, I think that was pretty damn witty.

I always counter that if non-citizens supposedly don't have rights, can I go to an airport and just cap 'em as they come file out?

Dear UK people, it would be a good idea to invest in somthing like anonet
Oh, it's way past that. They need to move right to investing in guns by this stage.
Wait, UK? Ha ha! Too late, they've already criminalized knives .
You fell for a classic logical fallacy called "appeal to emotion."
What the DJ basically said was "agree to not-X, because Y is happening right now and it's very, very horrible."
Nowhere in your story is the claim even made that X causes Y, or that not-X will solve Y.
Not only that, they actually cause more accidents according to numerous studies:
