Constitutional Rights... Suspended!

So this is what it has come to: we're so afraid of a 9/11 repeat that we suspect breadknife-carrying old ladies are conspiring to hijack airplanes... with the help of 37 schoolchildren! This wacky story, found on Michael Moore's website, tells of a 57-year-old woman who inadvertently left a 5 1/2 inch sandwich knife in her carry-on cooler.

Yep, they confiscated the "weapon" and put her on the terrorist watch list. Like that makes any sense at all.

She was quoted: "And I said what about my constitutional rights? And they said 'not at this point ... you don't have any'."

More later...
