Is airtravel the first step to the US becoming a police state ? I surely hope not, but a couple of items in the news of late have got me concerned.

A women was kicked off a plane for breastfeeding. I don't know all of the local laws in each state, but I'm sure the majority of the United States, certainly New York there are laws making sure women have the right to do what nature set them up to do. Current laws don't allow you to bring bottles on Airplanes, is the next step to check womens breasts to make sure they aren't lactating?

Couple arrested for kissing. Evidently the couple faces upto 20 years in prison?

I certainly don't feel any safer on an airplane because the security has been federalized, I deal with it because I don't fly that often. At first I refused to take my shoes off - mandatory feel up during security - some fun.
