There's no fascism like naked fascism! Seriously, if this is
what the world has come to, scared shitless of bras because the British
don't know how to have a sense of identity not based on racism, isn't
it time for Britain to just give up as a country?
How many more terror alerts will it take before we’ll all be flying nekkid?
It's lookin to me like full body cavity searches are just over the
horizon... Oh boy, flying is just continuing to look like it's headed
to a whole new level of entertainment.
That's just the market forces at work folks... Any business that messes
with it's customer base without a clue to what they really need to
focus on will usually end up going out of business at some point..
Maybe the business class will put up with increasingly draconian
terrorist preventive measures to ensure your average fat cat CEO gets
from point a to point b in a timely manner for the latest board
meeting... But the commercial air industry will not survive without the
recreation travelers of the world....Profit margins, I don't think,
will work out right to the bean counters in the home offices without
that recreation money coming in.
Those stupid infotainers on the "news" were talking about X-RAYS AT
AIRPORTS, SHOWING our private parts and that we have an option of
placing a steal plate over our privates, about a 5 x 8 plate. The
first thing anybody with a half a brain could notice, you can hide
anything in the crotch area, if you have a steal plate in front of the
x-ray, it could conceal something.
Did you know that a detonator is as small as and roughly the same shape
as a tampon? Do I really need to go any further along this train of
thought...?
It's futile, stupid, ridiculous, insane, ludicrous, assinine
windowdressing, designed to do nothing except scare the shit out of
people and make them compliant. The real security lapses are not where
passengers normally see them - the catering staff, the ground crew, the
baggage handlers, the airport grounds security, a million and one holes
that Homeland Security don't have the time, money or resources to cover
adequately.
So they take the easy route, and the one this
administration likes, piling on the fear, cranking it up another notch,
like a sadist killer who just can't get enough gratification and
spirals into madness...
And that group of travelers
folks, is exactly who is going to get fed up with this shit first and
start taking trains, or boats or cars to more local vacation spots... I
don't know for sure what the answer is, but these latest security
measures ain't it...Well, actually I take that last back.. I know what
I think the answer is, but the first step to fix this isn't at the
airport. The first step to fixing this shit happens at the ballot box.
