Is the U.S Government exaggerating the whole "terrorist scare" thing?
I still haven't worked out how to embed videos onto debates, so I'll have to post the link:

I tried to watch the video, I really did, but every second spent watching or listening to Alex Jones feels like a second better spent with an ax through the brain, so I didn't get very far (three minutes or something). However, to answer the question given in the title, I'll have to go with the affirmative position. The TSA is the embodiment of their exaggeration; very, very few people are terrorists, to say that every individual who goes aboard an airplane must be either patted down and potentially strip searched, or put through a dangerous, full-body scanner, and potentially patted down and strip searched, lest the American people suffer from even more "terrorist attacks" is downright ludicrous.

This is so obvious it doesn't even need saying. The video is terrible, Alex Jones is an idiot, even when he's talking sense he's hard to listen to, he sounds like he has a piece of chicken stuck in his throat. If you're going to post a video make somthing credible and well informed, e.g. An american history lesson with gore vidal (part 1 of 3)
Side: Yes
