The TSA Dog-and-Pony Show...
...is designed to make the Merkin Sheeple feel both scared shitless and snuggly wuggly, while accomplishing very little actual "security." Someone in the government did a psychological analysis and determined the more inconvenienced we are, the more likely we are to be reminded that: a) there are terrorists out there! And they want to kill us!, and b) the government is strong and powerful and doing something about it!
Honestly, it's the biggest farce I've ever seen in my life. The day I can travel with a couple of tubes of hand lotion and a bottle of water is the day I'll feel "safe" and "secure." Not this useless exercise in phony security.
Back when they were requisitioning baby formula and toddlers' sippy cups I put a bag full of sandwiches and condiments from the Stage Deli through the x-ray machines and no one said a peep. I guess mayonnaise, mustard and dill pickles can't be turned into bombs?
Oh and one more thing. I am sick and tired of taking my goddamned shoes off at the security checkpoint. The only reason to do that is to remind us of Richard Reid the "shoe bomber." So when Osama bin Laden invents the exploding pen, I suppose we'll all have to toss our writing implements before boarding an aircraft.
Wake up, people. It's all propaganda and manipulation.
