Whatever next! That post includes a great comment from "George":
the key word is "Security."
Once that word is uttered, you have an obligation to immediately cease any questioning or speculation as to the reason for it. It may make no sense to you, but it should be sufficient to have faith that Someone In Authority has made that decision, possibly based on information that must necessarily remain confidential, for a good reason that must necessarily remain secret.
So when anyone with an official uniform or badge utters the word "Security," our duty is to immediately shut the window shade, put the camera away, and say "Thank you for keeping us safe." We will never have Victory in this terrible War without putting complete, unquestioning faith and trust in Authorities who are doing everything they can to protect us.
Asking questions or publicly speculating on the rationale for what the Authorities ask of us always aids the enemy. Unquestioning obedience helps the Authorities defeat the enemy. That is the reality in the Global War on Terrorism.
With the faith, trust, and unquestioning obedience of all citizens we will win this War. And once Victory is ours, the Authorities will gradually restore selected rights and liberties as they deem appropriate.
