Grandpa: The term Gestapo was NOT mine, nor did I claim that the activity trampled our bill of rights. I would make no such claim over the activity mentioned. In fact, I was not even concerned about the incident. I think out security is important and we need to do all we can to stay as safe as possible to try to counteract terrorism. ( Are we safer now than before we attacked Saddam, I don’t think so, but that another discussion.)

I was concerned about your remark that honest people have nothing to fear. That type of thinking always seems to be at the forefront of various efforts to undermine our freedoms. Those who want to register our guns usually say things like that, as do those who want to limit other rights. ( No I am not accusing you of wanting to undermine our freedom.I just didn’t care for that comment.)
