Perfect Safety Through Omnipresent Surveillance...like in prison

[mrfocus]

Because we all know that there is no crime in prison. Right.

This latest sheeple herding measure that I underwent together with millions of other travellers yesterday (JFK-SFO) is another example of doing ineffective things efficiently.

Of course a determined, skillful, ruthless individual will always find a way to smuggle small or large quantities of prohibited substances into any facility, however hardened (otherwise there wouldn't be any drugs in prison).

As an alternative to the preposterous confiscation and subsequent destruction of millions of pounds of cosmetics and hair styling products, maybe we could invest a week's worth of Iraq Boondoggle Money (just a billion or so dollars) into making the world's most perfect explosive sniffing machine and install a few dozen units at each airport in the US for another month's worth of IBM (Iraqi Boondoggle Money).

No more idiotic shoe dance (to defeat a threat posed by a mildly retarded British man four years ago), no more 'Making American Skies Safe from Hair Mousse.'

the govt. run video surveillance in the UK puts many prisons to shame, at least in london it does
