You're not really explaining what's "foolish" or a "complex risk to society"...

Why is it okay to do it to several thousand people (selected in some non-systematic/statistical process more akin to voodoo than science), but not okay to do to the whole population?

Shouldn't everyone be treated equal? Seems like the way we have it now, if you get on some officials bad side you will get harassed by the TSA and maybe audited (there aren't that many tools at the disposal of the gov't to make your life difficult) And most likely no one will notice or care.

Doesn't that illustrate a more fundamental problem with our laws? And shouldn't we be addressing that?
