Comment: If a suicide bomber who is willing to blow up himself and countless innocent people is asked to open up his bag is he going to stand there calmly, let them do it, then patiently wait as they call the police? Of course not. These searches are aimed at creating more fear and subservience to authority from innocent people.

apparently some posters do not understand you, seems pretty clear to me, it will not do a damn bit of good to search bags.
the only thing it does is give the bullies with badges the right to defile and invade your privacy.
again the statement from Ben Franklin rings so true.
"those willing to give up freedom for safety, deserve neither"
these non-existent terrorist are going to get you, they are willing to die for their cause, where as you are only willing to give up your freedoms.
