Tsa agents have never patted me down at the airport and I am yet to be scanned. Of course I look like a less than reputable biker type. Sort of like how peta does not toss blood or paint on bikers… If you look like a victim then chances are excellent that you will become a victim. If you look like you will rip the victimizer’s head off and shit down his throat then chances are excellent that the victimizer will never try to find out if you would really do it or not.
Why can’t an airline just declare itself private, and skip TSA? Hollywood and DC politicians fly on private jets and get to skip this nonsense. Seems like buying a jumbojet and having a few hundred private passengers per trip is a golden opportunity to make money.
I like to throw this in every few months, just to stir things up: I had ammunition in my carry-on, at Detroit, was guilty as hell, and the TSA (and police!)treated me with extreme courtesy and respect. I’d like to think that’s because I’m even scarier than Mr. Smith — I am pretty damn scary — but I was traveling with a female, ex-federal agent, who took my 100-proof hip flask (I was poorly advised, you see) outside and drained it right down rather than have it go to waste. I’m pretty sure it was her they were deferring to. And I can live with that.
There are several lessons in this. I’ll expound some other time.
They’re gradually training the sheeple for the police-state that’s been created to protect us from the terrorists who supposedly hate us for and want to steal our freedom.
