Comment Re:another Obama disappointment... (Score 1) 559
The first thing a president does after taking the oath of office is appoint cabinet members. If Obama had appointed a DHS director who valued civil liberties (rather than picking Janet Napolitano), you wouldn't be seeing a widespread adoption of body scanners at airports.
Obama could have easily prevented this January 21, 2009. Anyone claiming "he hasn't had enough time" for fixing the DHS/TSA is either lying or ignorant of how the office works.
