Last week, after the suntan oil ban, the deoderant and toothpaste ban, the water and contact lens cleaner ban, we heard report after report after report that people, generally, were not upset by it.
"Better safe than sorry" seemd the theme of the day from those interviewed for teevee.
I find that hard to believe.
Am I the only one who absolutely HATES these policies? Am I the only one who despises the notion of someone in ill fitting pants and latex gloves touching my stuff ... and sometimes even my person? Am I the only one who can not get past the idea that there is NOTHING to be gained from a 'safety' perspective by all this, and **everything** to be gained from a political perspective?
In my view every fucking one of these stupid airport checks and rules and procedures is NOTHING more than a way to constantly remind us that we're in danger and only a bfrain addled still-and-former drunk and drug abuser can keep us safe.
I absolutely HATE the flying .... not for the flying but for the fucking maleability of the populace to allow themselves to be so manipulated and to JUST FUCKING TAKE IT.
Yeah yeah ..... they might find a bomb. BULLSHIT. By the time a bad guy or a team of bad guys get to the airport, we're fucked. That's pretty much a fact. Deal with it.
If you think this shit is needed, you're a fucking coward.
And get yer latex gloved hands outta my pants.
