53. Dumb-Ass Congress!
Edited on Wed Sep-20-06 02:16 PM by ShortnFiery
Although I've held a clearance and have served in the USA Military as an Officer, I can look forward to a full body cavity search when my government ID card has my ARABIC COUNTRY Place of Birth (in a US Army Clinic). :grr:

It don't matter that my Mom and Dad were born in the Midwest of the USA; or that I have no M.E. Ancestors; or that my father was assigned there for the US Army Corps of Engineers detachment; or that I too (in addition to my father) held a USA Security Clearance and served as an Officer. All that will matter to the Neanderthals that provide security at the Airports, et. al.. is
where I was born. :grr: :nuke:

Damn, I'm never going to fly after 2008. The mere thought of dealing with power mad security agents is frightening. :scared: And here my mother thought it would be so "cool" and "exotic" to have me born in a Middle Eastern Country. :shrug:

Thanks Congress, you Paranoid and Fascist Freaks! :puke:

Yes, in 2008 I will be labeled a terrorist. :(

Well, at least I will be able to understand what is like for those from the M.E. who are Naturalized American Citizens.
