A Sign I Would Like To See At The Airport
PLEASE BE ADVISED
THAT YOU FLY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
THAT WE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER
TO PROTECT YOU.
HOWEVER, WE HAVE COME TO THE RECOGNITION
THAT LIFE HAS MANY GAMBLES.
WITH THAT SAID,
WE CANNOT WALK AROUND WITH FEAR.
THEREFORE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE
BODY SEARCHES.
THERE WILL BE NO MORE
ELECTRONIC PHOTOS.
WE ACCEPT THAT WHEN WE FLY,
WE WILL FACE CERTAIN DANGERS,
BUT WOULD RATHER FACE THEM,
THAN THE HUMILIATION,
OFFERED BY THE HOMELAND SECURITY


The Citizenry

5. You mean, preventing terrorism was always as easy as...
a foreign policy built of better people skills?

Clever, but not good for the military-industrial complex.

10. I don't know why the people behind these full body scanners
Edited on Mon Nov-15-10 05:36 AM by Jamastiene
cannot get their porn and get their jollies the old fashioned way.

I rarely travel, but hearing about all the molestation the airlines are perpetrating on travelers (even 3 year old little girls, nasty) nowadays makes driving more likely than flying for me if I ever do travel. If I wanted to pose nude and get groped, I would become a stripper and get paid for it, not pay FOR it.

12. TSA is a joke
Nothing but a huge waste of money, time, and dignity. They DO NOT make flying safer.

13. Here's one I'd like to see for people to read as they're being fondled..er..searched.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” H.L. Mencken
