on the road

Here’s Patrick Smith’s latest. It covers the recent TSA Code Bravo, freeze! bravado that turns adults into kindergarteners and tattle-tales. How marvelous that they all follow the pied pipers of doom–well, almost all.

… TSA doesn’t really have the authority to make anybody remain motionless. TSA guards do not have law enforcement power — much as the agency has done a good job at fooling people into believing otherwise. Screeners are now called “officers” and they wear blue shirts with badges. Not by accident, the badges look exactly like the kind worn by police. –Patrick Smith, salon.com

The theater of the absurd continues unabated.

Don’t put up with this unconstitutional garbage! It’s all worthless security theater that does nothing to keep you “safe”. Boycott Flying ENTIRELY until sanity returns!

>you sound d like a typical hippy<

I’m touched by your insight into my life.

I’m also touched by the stupidity of the cattle and the airlines that condone the security bozos prodding body cavities and diapers of 80-year-old grandmothers and children. You just go on believing all of that security theater is making you safer. I’m certain it gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling.
