Explanation
After September 11, the United States increased border security and screening of travelers. More checkpoints along the Mexican and Canadian borders and passport checks for people entering the country are examples of those changes. The creation of the TSA and its stricter airline-passenger screenings is another. Not cooperating with the government does not automatically constitute treason, and citizens are not required to consent to wiretaps or property searches simply when asked.
