I can certainly see why the people searching through your bags would have been peeved at your sticker. You are, after all, calling them murderers.

Thats utter poppycock. The sticker does not say "9-11 was an inside job and you're in on it". The sticker does not even come close to saying or implying that.

Hmmm. My first response was deemed off topic by the moderators, and since their word is law, allow me to rewind and rephrase it.
In case you hadn't noticed, when you circulate these "inside job" conspiracies you ARE necessarily accusing the gov't and gov't employees of "being in on it". All you need to do is readthese boards to see people blatantly accusing the gov't (and everyone from Silverstein to Bush to even some guy driving a taxi by the Pentagon) of "being in out it". Remember, Homeland Security was specifically set up in response to the 9/11 attack, so out of all the gov't departments, they'd certainly be the most sensitive about it of all. Showing them an "inside job" slogan is asking for trouble the same way as going to a Jewish festival and telling them the holocaust was faked.
That said, I already posted I agreed that the destruction of the laptop was unprofessional, not to mention, illegal. The right to be free doesn't give anyone the right to not be offended by other people's beliefs. Such extreme intolerance to outside ideas is what almost certainly incited the hijackers to pull of the 9/11 stunt to begin with.

I would bet anything that the DHS agent who did it didn't even work for DHS pre 911, too. Yeah...
Why?
Beacause DHS didn't exist pre 911.!
It wasn't even formed until November 2002.
You should have known this if you're trying to tear apart the subject, sir.
That (is) of course, unless you were talking about DHS - Department of Human Services...

As for your hate crime theory? Good luck trying to convince any judge in any courtroom in America that this was a hate crime.
One word that comes to mind here. Elaboration.
Pardon Me.

I'm sorry but you're wrong. Everyone in enron wasnt "in" on it. All Christians weren't "in' on Waco. The entire government wasn't "in" on Pearl Harbor, not even the president. The entire government wasn't "in" on the Manhattan project.
Only a person with a biased, preconceived notion would think that implies the entire government. There are a lot of those people on BOTH SIDES of the fence around here.

Since this obviously covers investigating, preventing and guarding against 9/11-type attacks, claiming that the gov't was involved in the 9/11 attacks necessarily means that the DHS had to be involved as well. It doesn't matter if you believe it's the entire DHS, merely a few, or just the guys who take out the trash. You're still making accusations of blatant criminal intent against the DHS of which DHS personnel will naturally perceive as outrageous slander, particularly when they obviously do NOT subscribe to your claims of conspiracy in the first place.

The Department of Fatherland Security did not exist when 9/11 happened, only after, thus, it would be impossible to accuse them of anything in regards to 9/11.
I do not believe his laptop was smashed on purpose, but through typical airline baggage manhandling. If they had, then there would be no justification on their part at all, period.
