And as I also said...maybe you don't care that you are being searched just so you can ride a glorified bus with wings...but it matters to me. It's treating us like we are criminals. They aren't searching for bombs and trying to make us safe. They are trying to do drug busts plain and simple.
I don't think the TSA has ever found any bombs. Just lots of joints.
It's bullshit. And if you are happy with that then good for you. I'm not. I believe in having freedom.
Back in the 1960's and 1970's and 1980's planes were actually getting hijacked and blown up in mid-air.
But we didn't get searched at airports.
And the day they put the locked steel doors on the pilots cabin on airplanes was the last time that any bunch of guys with box cutters would ever be able to do a 9-11 style takeover of an airplane again.
And no...I don't feel any "safer" when I fly because some TSA agent played with my dick at security. I think it's against everything our country stands for. And the terrorists have "won" when we are subjected to it.
That's just my opinion.

I think it's more about conditioning than it is stopping real terrorism. They are boiling frogs. Fast forward 10, 15, or 20 years years and imagine what it's going to be like as society deteriorates or the numbers living in poverty grow beyond control. The kind of changes they are going to be needed to deal with that can't happen over night. They need to be slowly worked into the system so people are used to them. Before you know it, you're fucked. Look at what has happened since 2001. Everything has changed. Heaven help us all of another attack on US soil happens.
The irony is, it is all terrorism that the USA created in the first place. Every drone or soldier that kills a child, a brother, mother, son, or daughter, possibly creates a new terrorist. I know if some fuck in another country killed my child or family, I would dedicate the rest of my life to destroying them. Like the USA did over 9-11.
