        @neiltyson: I like to rub out the y, “For our protection” is far more appropriate. Only the owner of the sign gets any benefit.

        2 @neiltyson Airport security restricts freedom a little, but it is worthwhile because it saves many lives.

        @RonSupportsYou @neiltyson and how many terrorists has the TSA caught? ZERO. Leave security up to the airlines not the feds

        @neiltyson overly broad statement. "for your safety keep your hands and feet inside the car", etc.

        @neiltyson Doesn't it come down to defining, balancing what is society's obligation to its citizens, and a citizen's obligation to society?
