Heavily-Armed Guards
“Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” ― Thomas JeffersonMachine-gun toting police and military check points are common place in the third world. And ever since 9/11, more sightings of heavily-armed guards have occurred at major transportation hubs in the U.S. Last year the NYPD deployed swarms of guards with full military gear, M16 assault rifles, and body armor to ride the NYC subways in response to suicide bombings in Russia. Military patrols at airports and train stations like Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Port Authority Station in New York City are now a regular occurrence.
