It's amazing. As late as the Truman admin you could literally walk up to the front door at the White House and knock.

Interesting that the rise of security parrellels the liberalization of society...

Or maybe Bin Laden got exactly what he wanted, everyone is practically hiding under their bed trying to escape the bogeyman in the closet.

I love how, just like in the early twentieth century and during the Cold War, legislation like this is targeted squarely at the left wing and liberal activism.

Meanwhile, racist anti-government militias speak out against the president, preach overthrow of the government, train in the woods and mountains with assault weapons and no effort is shown on the federal and state level to enforce 18 USC.
