When a society treats its own champions and defenders like criminals bad things cannot be far off.
Newly released government documents show that even having a high-level security clearance won’t keep you off the Transportation Security Administration’s Kafkaesque terrorist watch list, where you’ll suffer missed flights and bureaucratic nightmares.
We live in a world where the government increasingly plays the role of nanny, decision maker and disciplinarian on our daily lives. This same government that is supposed to watch us, nurture us and protect us from our own flaws and failings cannot trust a soldier, a man or woman empowered to kill in the name of government, to fly with a penknife. Our federal government cannot even accurately identify its own highly placed civilian employees when they try do something as routine as boarding a plane.
Allow me to sound an alarm. We are all in trouble because our common sense is being assaulted on a daily basis by nanny organizations such as the TSA. These are people who, no matter how inane they become (and they’re really, really inane) you cannot argue with, or question. If you want to fly, you have to take off your shoes, keep your mouth shut, and bend over if told to bend over.
We’ve traded self-reliance and individual liberty for really bad fake security and government web sites that answer important questions like, “Am I Wearing the Right Shoes?”
The right shoes, you poltroons, are the shoes that don’t have bombs in them. Any idiot can figure that out, and you don’t need a fancy machine to determine whether or not someone has a wick sticking out of his or her shoe. I’m going to have to learn to fly a small private plane when I get back to the U.S. because I don’t think I can put up with much more of the whole everyone is a criminal treatment I’ve been getting from the people who are in charge of public airports. The first generation of real American zombies is being developed at a major airport near you and the scientists who are breeding them are the retarded looking people in the polyster pants and shirts emblazoned with TSA.
