Warning: This collection of news items relating to TSA and airport screening may raise your blood pressure. Of course, if you think it is all necessary and reasonable, I'm happy for you. I still wake in the middle of the night and work on my piece on our Capitol experience with security. If I wait long enough, maybe the public will beat me to it.
Insanity. Complete insanity. And the worst is the power trip the security people get on. Like the guys at the Capitol getting all high and mighty over NOTHING! Yup, my blood is boiling.
so out of control. To avoid potentially offending a few people by using logic, common sense and some profiling they would rather offend EVERYONE in the country. And to do this garbage that hasn't even been proven effective? yeah for P.C.-ness!!!
But maybe The Chosen One will let TSA be unionized, which should fix everything. That usually turns out well.
The one GOOD thing coming out of all this craziness is the country is starting to wake up. Soon hopefully, meaningful & positive change can really happen. Not the fake, pretend kind.
hopefully i won't get molested when we come over next month.
Wow. I don't know what else to say. Seems like somebody ought to be able to use their brains a little. I mean, a four-year-old with leg braces? A 70 year old with a knee replacement? Someone with contact solution? Now there's a threat. Give me a break!
It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.
Mark Twain
The true theory of our Constitution is surly the wisest and best ... [for] when all government ... shall be drawn to Washington as the centre of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as ... oppressive as the government from which we separated.
Thomas Jefferson
I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.
James Madison
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Some of those videos made me want to throw up. I'm all for cooperating with a simple security screening, but it's getting ridicules.
ridiculous

Wow. Just when you think it's bad enough, you find out that it is worse.
