Every time the government closes its not really closed. It still robs us and bosses us around and wastes trillions of dollars. The only real way to shut it down is to protect yourself, stop communicating with and disobey government. The TSA in particular is so disgusting. There is all kinds of physical and sexual abuse going on with in the organization and that happens to travelers. It is really only meant to give the illusion of safety, but they haven't stopped any attacks and have done more harm themselves. It is nothing but an excuse for government to trample our individual rights more.
