You probably are aware of the Tennessee woman who was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for being 'belligerent' and 'verbally abusive' to a TSA dummy.

Jesus. The fuckin TSA, again.

Apparently, it is now a CRIME to tell a TSA asshat to go pound sand. I get that its part of that stupid safety procedure to go through the body scan machine, or the molestation, or whatever bullshit they decide to put in place, and if you don't, no flying, but thats not the issue, here. The issue is, the TSA's precious feelings got hurt, and because American citizens no longer have rights, a woman got arrested.

' It's 10000 times safer than your cell phone' said Sabrina Birge, airport security officer. Really? And your qualifications would be what, exactly? Are you an expert on the screening machine? Were you involved in its development? How in the hell do you know how safe that thing is, or how unsafe my cell is? Or are you reading from a script?

Putting everyone through that scanner, or patting down kids, or ordering a 95 year old cancer patient to remove her Depends is not solving anything, but it is getting the American people used to being treated like cattle. Its not good police work. Learn from the Israelis. Learn from the Europeans. But arresting someone for cursing at a TSA nitwit? Booting a guy off a plane for saying 'fuck'? What the fuck does that solve? Are these people a threat, or are they people who are fed up with the erosion of their rights? I guess that makes them a threat, to people like the TSA. Don't forget what their priorities are. Not your safety, not keeping planes in the sky, and not even taking away your rights. Their FIRST priority is keeping their jobs. Because they KNOW its just a scam, they KNOW they aren't protecting shit, and they KNOW that their hold on these jobs is tenuous at best, and all it would take for them to get back to Burger Hut is a few proud Americans  standing up and saying 'No more', and they don't want to go back to flipping burgers. Who can blame them? But they like these jobs. They pay well, and they give them power. They get to tell people what to do, and they do it. ' Get in line here, take off your shoes, belt too, empty that bag for me, lemme feel your nuts and/or boobs.' Folks, dumb people like to order smart people around.


I dunno, man. It bums me out. It bums me out because the wheels are coming off the Motherland, and it bums me out that I am glad I'm not there to be a part of it.


Peace.
