Krisi quote," it's an attempt to make sure that people boarding airplanes are who they say they are and not people intent on blowing up the plane or running it into targets on the ground. It's for your own safety. It's inconvenient but necessary in today's troubled times."
I had a friend who attempted to use an air ticket to travel from Edmonton to Toronto back in the 80's that was not in his name. Wow, what a nightmare for him, all of his friends learned a lesson from that one. The whole thing was about deception, and not being who the ticket said that he was. Well in the paranoid world we live in today, CDing can be miscontrued as being deception by an individual. I am not saying that it is right, or wrong, just stating that it can be misconstured that way.
Giving up freedoms for the sake of safety has nothing to do with politics, liberal, or conservative, people just want to feel safe within their own country. Is it right that someone can get pulled from a plane due to racial profiling, no, but it is going to happen when the paranoid people run amock. There must be a very thin line between paranoia, and "this is not going to happen on my watch", so I attempt to co-operate with any law enforcement agency who is keeping my country safe. They will make mistakes, but let us hope those mistakes don't give us another 911.
All religion, or politics aside I am a proud Canadian who is damm glad to live next door to the USA, and we need to work together to make our countries safe to live in!
