Is this a bad thing or a good thing? I mean, how could anything possibly get worse than having the TSA making decisions?

The NSA already knows everything about us so why not have them implement a green/yellow/red flag. TSA personnel drive to work so they’ll understand what that means, and we’ll just have to suffer like we always do because we’re the American public… I’m sorry you can’t go to Canada today because of what you said on Facebook.

Who’s to say they aren’t planning to use those databases? And anything else they want. The TSA has no bounds, unless the Legislature man’s up (as if).

Just start a rumor they’re going to use gun registration databases and the NRA will shut it down.
