[Sca-cooks] Threat Levels at Airports

[Stephanie Ross]

But still, we probably don't want to get onto the slippery slope 
already being walked, high and proud, by the US Attorney General, who 
just made a speech in which he referred to the detainees, in essence, 
as already having been tried and convicted.
 
I mean, we members of a club on the FBI's list of subversive 
organizations have reason to be concerned about such things...

Sh*t yeah! I got super paranoid and concerned for the future of the SCA
when the CIA/FBI said they were going to monitor non-profits to make sure
they weren't associated/sending money to terrorists orgs. With all of our
Arabic persona people, I felt certain they would mess with us since we are
on their "list". Being as the SCA is a 501C not-for-profit, my alarm
lessened, but hasn't gone away completely. I mean, this is the gov't we are
talking about, the same one that mowed down college kids at Kent State and
sets up "free speech zones" so the Prez doesn't have to see his
constituents protesting. I even contemplated having to choose between the
US gov't and the Knowne Worlde. Did you know the SCA has the third largest
standing army in the USA?
