in class today

Today in class, we talked about how far the government should go to protect us. I think we have to keep in our mind that America is known for the freedom of it's citizens, and since that freedom is so glorified, I think people get hyped up when someone asks them to do something, even if it is for their own safety. Mr. Boyle thinks that we shouldn't have to go to security to go on airplanes. I disagree with him, because in the past, we have had hijacking of planes, the most obvious one, 9/11. We shouldn't oppose to security in airports because it's not only for the airline's safety, it's mostly for our own safety. Shouldn't we be thankful that they care enough to get everyone x-rayed so that we can almost ensure that we'll have a safe flight? And I definitely don't think we should have the option of not going through security. If airports have the option of either going through security or not going through security, then it's obvious that a potentially dangerous person would choose to not go through security. I don't think that you can compare the potential danger that a person might present from their past. Even the person with the best, cleanest background can cause harm to other people. Danger can be anywhere, so I think it's obvious that airports are going to check every single one of the passengers to ensure that we're going to be safe. People over react to security in airports. Honestly, it's not to target anyone. It's to keep every passenger on that place safe and I think people have to realize that. Who cares if the airport have an x-ray of your body. They're going to delete it obviously. It's not even a big deal, what could they possibly do with it...
