No LongerBrave

Transportation Security Administration officials have announced two major 
changes:

Travelers may now carry through security checkpoints travel size toiletries ( 3 
oz or less) that fit comfortably in ONE, Quart- SIZE, clear plastic, zip ‹top 
bag. Pay attention and follow directions or that trip to Disney World can be 
cancelled!

After clearing security, travelers can now bring beverages and other items 
purchased in the secure boarding area,  on-board the aircraft.

At the checkpoint travelers will be asked to remove the zip-top bag of liquids 
and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt, x-raying separately will allow 
TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items.

I suppose that if you've been on vacation and bought a jug of Maple Syrup; 
you're going to have to drink all but three ounces? This is what happens when 
billions of dollars are thrown to the wind to create these ridiculous alphabet 
agencies. Follow the money ‹ a few are making billions off of this Mad Hatter's 
Tea Party! Transportation Security Screeners will now be called 'supervisors'; 
because important titles  will make it appear that these recent GED graduates or
former employees of Block Buster etc ‹ know what they're doing;  as they order 
folks around (who can afford to travel and they can't) pawing them, swabbing 
their briefcases and  ordering wheelchair bound seniors to remove orthopedic 
shoes: as colostomy bags and heart medications  and hip replacements are  
carefully gone over! Nursing mothers meantime are made to prove that its milk 
that has breasts hanging heavy and not nitroglycerin. Toddlers with sneakers or 
stuffed animals will be carefully scrutinized.


This man a WWII veteran ‹ who supposedly 'fought for freedom', is subjected to 
the indignity of a rent-a-cop treating him like he's just come in from the 
mountains of Afghanistan! I DOUBT Barbara and George Bush (senior) would be 
treated like this!  What has Congress done to stop this insanity of marking 
citizens as the 'enemy'? Nothing!

Wearing flip ‹ flops, no matter, it has to be understood that all of this Tom 
foolery has NOTHING to do with shoes, old spice, hair gel, or mouth wash; and  
everything to do with ordering and controlling masses  of people;  who are 
basically at their  mercy, (traveling) for the sake of  behavior modification 
and forming obedient passive non-complaining drones.

Repeat after me" I feel so much safer, I don't mind strangers seeing me 
naked-and ordering me to throw my denture cream and bunion remover etc, in the 
waste can. Who knows what explosives could be hidden in a senior citizen's 
colostomy bag.  The government knows best".

After you're searched and prodded, frisked, scanned, sniffed, and carefully 
watched;  least you make some suspicious movement,  you are then subjected to 
the body scanner,  which will have these rent-a-cops radiating and undressing 
you ‹in case all  the groping, metal detectors missed something! Radiation ‹ no 
need to fear, the government announces it as SAFE!

"Freedom's just another word".note that the Executive branch, the Supreme Court 
, visiting dignitaries, (including renowned diabolical dictators),  the 
President's family, corporate executives etc;  are not subjected to these 
Gestapo tactics. NO, these machines and rent-a-cops are not on our southern 
border. Only American's are subjected to this scrutiny. No matter what your 
thoughts are on immigration ‹ it stands to reason that legions of 'terrorists' 
could simply walk in here while 93 year old seniors are being frisked!

The face and body language specialists (just rent-a-cops with ties and fancier 
badges) will be carefully observing you from the shadows;  to check off things 
pertaining to your face or movements; that might show you for the liar, 
manipulator, and contemptible  threat to humanity that you really are,   and 
thus  not fit to  travel! You may be the unfortunate person who is just 
naturally petulant, harried, or (like Cheney) born with a perpetual sneer,  
which will have you pulled aside and interrogated! The message appears to be 
that one must remain placid and emotionless-and fearful!

It's really about conformity and compliance and has nothing to do with 
protecting the nation. Common sense will tell you that! PLEASE ‹ toothpaste, 
hair gel, baby formula etc!

Why a terrorist would use an airport, when we have 6 million + cargo containers 
(unsearched) entering the country yearly beats me? This doesn't count the 
hundreds of thousands of trucks (recently passed by Congress) entering over the 
Mexican border!  There is no feasible way to check what's on these  semis!  
Meantime, passengers manhandled and searched; then get onto planes filled with 
tons of UNSEARCHED cargo under their feet! No it's not about security.

I suggest that these scanners ‹searchers ‹ prodders - and behavioral monitors be
posted at the: White House, the Supreme Court, the Defense Dept, the State 
Department,  Congress,  Capitol hallways, and the local watering holes and board
rooms;  to catch the real threats to representative  democracy. Hey, maybe we'll
find that $2 trillion missing from the Defense Dept, or the paltry $9 billion 
that disappeared in Iraq (under Bremer). Maybe it's just paranoid me; but I 
think millions of containers from a country that has stolen all of our trade 
secrets; is a lot more suspicious than liquid wart remover, or a ninety-three 
year old Alzheimer patient, in orthopedic terrorist shoes!  Hmm, now if we were 
politicians or corporate honchos, we could bypass this pawing and and fly in 
corporate privacy!  But then, this is all just practice for the management of 
the global plantation.

"But I don't want to go among mad people, Alice remarked. 'Oh, you can't help 
that', said the Cat: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad'. 'How do you know
I'm mad?' said Alice. 'You must be' said the Cat 'or you wouldn't have come 
here'. Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on 'And how 
do you know that you're not mad?' 'To begin with, 'said the Cat, 'a dog's not 
mad. You grant that?' 'I suppose so', said Alice. 'Well, then', the Cat went on,
'you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when its pleased. Now 
I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad'. 
Alice  in Wonderland.
