We define liberty differently. I take a broader definition. Not being able to take basic necessities with me on a carry-on bag is surrending liberty. Forcing people to spend extra hours of their valuable time to get on and off a plane is surrendering liberty. Screening needs to be quick, simple, and reliable. We need to allow people to bring normal items with them when they travel. We need to be reasonable about all this and stop paranoid knee-jerk reactions to everything.
We have gone beyond inconvenience to blind panic.
