Suspected terrorist

Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder John Gilmore was ejected from a British Airways flight to London because he refused to remove a 1-inch pin he was wearing that read “Suspected Terrorist.”

Discuss.

UPDATE: Also check out Gilmore’s FAQ about his suit against requiring IDs to board commercial flights. Fascinating stuff.

    When do we get the world back from the irrationally fearful? Do we need to act like them to show how absurd they are? Make complaints about people with flag pins? Call the FBI on people reading Ann Coultier’s book? After all, if they get to strip others of rights because of fear, so can we.

    We get the world back on January 20, 2005.

    I am _so_ looking forward to it.

    When do we get the world back from the irrationally fearful? This implies that “we”, at one time, had it?
