Terrorists be damned

By Bobby Burns | Wednesday, July 9, 2008, 01:13 AM

I hate terrorists.

Not so much for what they did, that was bad enough, but more for how we have reacted to them.

The people cuing at the arch entrances during my family’s trip to St. Louis was the latest example I have seen.

We now must pass through security checks just to enter the monument’s underground exhibition, a museum that we used to be able to enter freely.

The line to purchase tram tickets remains inside. Now we have to go through a line to get to that line.
