...they hate us because we're free... [Watch]
Here's more.
Fortunately, most of us would rather watch a basketball game or a Lady Gaga concert than guard with jealous attention the public liberty...
Still, the thought strikes that a rag, a Coke bottle and a dollar's worth of gas could pretty much render useless one of these multi-million dollar investments. So maybe before we let people near them, we ought to make them go through another line first, where we can give them the rape scan/junk grope...oh, I'm sorry, I mean the "Freedom Fondle" option...

"Are you attempting to smuggle an explosive device into the expo today?"
ReplyDelete"Are you attempting to smuggle a recording device into the expo today?"
"Are you attempting to smuggle any religious or constitutional literature into the expo today?"
See? Once you get started, it just flows naturally.
The proper answer to the agent's questions in all cases is:

The only way this will stop is when these LE/CEO's end up like Mussolini. And Chertoff would be a good start. Lotsa lap posts in D.C.
ReplyDeleteIt occurred to me later. Once they have you in front of what I assume is an infrared camera looking for the blush response that indicates stress such as a normal person experiences when telling a lie, they could ask
ReplyDeleteAny guns in your home?
Have you ever had thoughts critical of your government?
Do you consider yourself a "sovereign citizen"?
You showed your ID to the first guard, remember? They could be in and out of your house -- under their "secret search" powers -- before the event you're attending is over.
As technology advances, every home could have one of these just inside the front door. Check your hair in the magic mirror as you stand in the yellow footprints and answer the five brief questions each day before it unlocks your door and lets you leave. Or doesn't, and places a discrete robo-call to HomeSec.
Hey, the king of Saudi Arabia suggested microchipping the people released from Guantanamo Bay. Just remembered that. It was in the latest WikiLeaks. That hasn't gone away either.
Until their enabler pigs rot in hell where they belong, expect this to continue. And don't waste your time going after the Janets and Erics and such until AFTER you have taken care of the Thugs with Guns who mock their oath to "...preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution..."
ReplyDeleteTSA takes the bus: Greyhound station in Tampa. Border patrol is there too. Metal detector, sniffer dog. "Freedom fondles" all around. One agency wonk mentions interdicting "cash smuggling." Or seems to. Hard to tell, with his wiseguy Noo Joisey accent.
ReplyDeleteOne passenger says he likes it, feels safer. He's probably the biggest guy ON the bus. How would people be safe FROM HIM?

Um..."Coke bottle"?
ReplyDeleteThose don't break very easily. Wouldn't a wine bottle work better?
