What freedoms have been taken away from us?

I suppose you can sign up to any poker site that takes your fancy?

Also the context was loss of freedoms post 9/11 due to the war on terror. And rhetorical lists dont cut it. you need specific examples of real individuals who somehow had a freeom taken away that actually impacted them.

Yes, it's always wise to wait til you have overwhelming empirical evidence of it being too late before you care about something.

I mostly live my own life, and no one (certainly not a centralized government) is very good at stopping me, so I don't have a huge laundry list of ways I've been dicked over for you. But when I was in Vegas last summer, I had to throw out $25 or so worth of gels, soaps, toothpastes, and the ilk which were supposed to make me look beautiful, but apparently in a heightened state of terror alert, may have been destructive. The feds weren't letting that [censored] anywhere near an airplane. It was pretty annoying to have to buy all that stuff again when I got home. But the happy ending is that I signed up for a CVS extra care card, and have been saving money ever since.

Who needs hair gel anyways when you have a WAR TO WIN!!!

Beyond that, it's hard to tell which of my restrictions do and don't have anything to do with 911. If a bush was on fire it'd be pretty tedious to figure out what effect tossing a match on it actually had.
