The point is that you do deal with them, you just don't know about it. You also have to factor in the odds that there will be a false positive affecting you.
Your name might be on a no-fly list, even though you aren't "crossing them." There might be "100% verified" data which links you to some event, as there was with Brandon Mayfield's fingerprints, even though that connection is 100% wrong.
These are all low-probability events. Odds are, you don't have to worry. But every time you have to wait in line for security screening, remember that it's a false positive because they are worrying about you crossing them.
And that's why I have not traveled in years. You're going to harass me, I am not going to play. It's going to hurt the economy, but that's your fault, not mine.
but then you're not really free are you? free in the sense that you self-impose restrictions on travel. do you feel free? (honest question, cause your stance is intriguing)
