Jesus. I have felt the same way as that pilot when I get on an airplane.
I'm PAYING these fucks to transport me somewhere. They should be kissing my ass and treating me like a paying customer. Instead they allow the TSA to act like Nazi's. They search you and everything you have. And you can't lock your checked luggage...and whatever you do DON'T put anything valuable in your checked luggage because they now search every piece of luggage and go through your personal belongings.
Total horseshit. And I'm unconvinced that any of that stops a "terrorist" from doing anything.
I remember when I was a kid that it seemed like a plane was hijacked every week. I'm serious. In the 1970's there literally seemed like armed gunmen hijacked planes on a weekly basis.
But NONE of this stupidity was implemented at airports.
They already have a locked steel door on the pilots cockpit now. So nobody can do a "9-11" again anyway.
They could also put other measures in place to detect any explosives.
But no...they use this shit to search for drugs! And to see if you're traveling with lots of cash. And everything else they can think of to spy on people and "catch" them doing stuff.
All to TRAVEL?
I'd love to see a high speed rail system in this country and put the goddamn airlines out of the business of travel within the country and see them only used for international travel. But the airline lobbyists will never let that happen.
