Thomas Sowell: Ebola And Obama
The safety of Americans comes in second.

What Happens When Libertarian Fantasies Become Reality?
by Daniel J. Mitchell. No, this post is not about that kind of fantasy. Instead, we’re dealing strictly with public policy and specifically addressing whether the libertarian agenda is unrealistic. This is because when I talk to people about libertarianism, they often

getting ... MORE

John Stossel: Patrolmen Without Borders
America is no longer a free country. If I drive across a U.S. border, I expect to stop at a Border Patrol checkpoint. But imagine driving to the grocery store, or Mom's house, well inside America, and being stopped by the Border Patrol. Many Americans don't have to imagine it — it's how they live. Even as the federal government fails to control ... MORE

Lawrence M. Ludlow: TSA = Thousands Of Sexual Assailants
The degradation of travel. Ever since the blowback retaliation of 9/11,
the government has subjected people trapped in the United States with a
constant stream of propaganda, war-making tax-theft, police-state
spying, and outright physical and sexual molestation at airports.
Although oodles of self-deceived parrots (my apologies to that noble bird ... MORE

Christopher Elliott: TSA Gives Fliers A Bad Feeling
Are they starting to sense the government is not us? If airport security is so good, why do passengers feel so bad? That's a valid question, considering how the Transportation Security Administration seems to be spinning its performance lately.

Coloring books, cartoons to placate terrified tots. Four-year-old Isabella Brademeyer had just learned about “stranger danger” at school, her family said.

TSA's Mission Creep Making America A Police State
From patdowns to checkpoints and roadblocks.

Scott Holleran: Abolish The TSA
It does not protect and defend, it endangers. It’s peak travel season, so it’s a good time to examine the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a government agency
created by President George W. Bush supposedly to protect air
passengers. As a recent government accountability report and deadly attack on Los Angeles Airport ... MORE
