BoingBoing has a story today on an incident regarding a TSA agent who, against fervent protest by the chronically ill child, opened a clear sterile bag containing the kid’s spare stomach feeding tube, risking his life. And doing so with a cavalier arrogance:

TSA endangers child’s life by contaminating his feeding tube despite pleas

One commenter on the site states:

Stories like this make me glad that I’m Canadian. It also makes me wonder how a nation that gained its freedom by revolution could allow itself to get this far along the path to facism. Especially where *everybody* has guns. Why the hell are your leaders not being held accountable? It’s utterly baffling to outside observers…

Good question.
