Operation Liberty Shield ("Shielding us from our liberties") sounds like
one of those insurance scams designed to separate old people from their
money. ("For just dollars a day, your loved ones will be protected from
sudden death and dismemberment and attacks by giant Iraqi robots.")
As for the "maintaining the free flow of goods and people across our
border with minimal disruption to our economy and way of life".
Color me unconvinced. The present "security measures" have caused great
damage to our economy. I expect these will just add to it.
