If you aren't already a bit worried about the powers of the DHS and the TSA, may I suggest that you read the below referenced story. As I see it, an agency truly run amok.
Policy Watch [img]cid:2BD565DF-AF32-44D7-A703-E7595D28000A(at)san.rr.com[/img][img]cid:D14BF226-079E-4EC2-B94F-241C59E73145(at)san.rr.com[/img]TSA seeks inspection authority for aircraft-repair shops
The Transportation Security Administration on Monday sought regulatory authority over airplane-repair shops, arguing that terrorists could use the facilities to sabotage planes undergoing maintenance. There are nearly 5,000 approved repair shops around the world, where work can range from mending upholstery to overhauling engines. TSA is especially concerned with shops on or near airport property, where terrorists could potentially take control of an aircraft for use as a weapon. Critics of the proposed policy note that all shops working on U.S.-based planes already are subject to FAA licensing and inspection.

Just a thought and a reference from the past if I may be so bold:
"McCarthyism was the politically motivated practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence. The term specifically describes activities associated with the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting roughly from the late 1940s to the late 1950s and characterized by heightened fears of communist influence on American institutions and espionage by Soviet agents."
Now simply replace "communist influence" and "espionage by Soviet Agents" with: Terrorism and Al-Qaeda agents.
Sorry for being so "off topic", but running "amok" is exactly the right term. Also spreading fear and taking away personal freedoms in the name of security and safety.
