The US practices a lot of censorship based on moral reasons, and yet is among the most amoral nations to exist. Until I started travelling I thought everywhere was more or less the same. Then I moved to europe, wow talk about culture shock. The beaches are full of topless teenage girls, the billboards and TV commercials have full frontal nudity, the local TV stations emit uncoded hardcore porn at night. Foul language? I use it regularly on an FM radio program I've been doing for 15 years. So what have we learned? If you don't want something to be a big deal don't make a big deal of it. DUH! What's not clear is exactly why these people waste so much time on such ridiculous issues...

You can expect the TSA agent doing the searches to be a morbidly obese minority with the manners of a 2-year old.

Why does that conjure up an image of you doing the searching?

There is every reason to believe that ACORN, at the behest of the Barack Hussein Obama administration is responsible for the vandalism. Here's how it works: First, a few innocuous swear words disappear, then any negative references to Obama start disappearing, then any negative references to Obama's buddies start disappearing, and soon enough we live in North Korea. 18.
