The Stasi Come to Wal-Mart
I wonder what future historians will think of the collective insanity that has engulfed America. Will they wonder how an advanced society succumbed to irrational fear mongering? I'm not a big fan of John Adams, but he hit it on the head when he said that fear is the foundation of most governments.

One of my friends posted that on Facebook. As much as I love WalMart (I mean, where else can I get an Xbox 360 game and gallon of milk at 2 am?), I'm a bit dissapointed they went along with this. This is obviously just spreading American paranoia so I have to let someone feel my breasts before getting on an airplane. This was not necessary. If all this really is related to 9/11 and "security", I don't recall there being a terrorist attack in the cereal aisle. Police state tactics like messages from the head of DHS in the aisles of the grocery stores are unecessary.

That was so vaugue as to draw suspicion in itself. If people called law enforcement in every time they saw somebody suspicious at Walmart they would have locate the police station right at Walmart.
I am beginning to conclude that there actually is nothing more suspicious than the government itself.
