You say that I ".........cannot demand any rights .....[and] the best [I]
can do is to [be] obsequious...." ! America's close on 700,000 lawyers would
be out of business at a stroke if such was true.
Tell me that I can demand my rights. It is another matter entirely whether
some $4.50 an hour security agent readily grants my request for a hand
inspection. S/he might have such limited intellectual capacity that any
argument on the issue could bring forth a torrent of intimidation.
