WHO SAYS THAT AIR TRAVEL SUCKS? YOU GET TO BE FELT UP BY A TSA EMPLOYEE FOR FREE, & A POSSIBLE WET SLOPPY KISS WHEN IT IS OVER.
When this blog post is published, I will be going thru the dreaded "feeling my 'junk'" line. There is no way that I'm taking an extra dose of radiation, just so that I can have a false feeling of security. I'm going with the "free - first base" sex, that the TSA is offering. WHAT A SWEET DEAL!!!
For an extra fee, do you think that they will go past FIRST BASE? I'm asking for a big SLOPPY WET KISS.
What a crock of Bull Poo Poo that the bureaucrats are giving us. They claim that the only way that we can be safe is by taking a dose of radiation for the good of the U.S. team. If we aren't a team player, we can "chose" to be felt up. Their response: (said in a DUMB GUY VOICE) If You Don't Want To Submit To The Invasive Procedures - You Don't Have To Fly. WELL, NO SH*T, SHERLOCK.
You know, the naive people out there believe that the bureaucrats make their decisions, on which security procedures and equipment that will be used for the screening process, by performing an exhaustive study of the pros and cons. Ah, no, the decision boils down to: What Is The Easiest Way For The Top Bureaucratic Brass To Get The Elected Politicians Off Their Backs. They don't care if it is a nightmare for the employees that have to perform the tasks, and / or, the INCREDIBLE NIGHTMARE that the public is forced to go thru.
The decisions on the equipment that is used for the screening process are also done in a moronic style, in my humble opinion. I don't know for a fact, I can only assume that a greasy palm plays a major role in the decision process, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.
Several years ago, I couldn't find my drivers license when I was in the security line to board a flight. I told the TSA agent and was escorted to an enclosed machine that puffed air at the person that is being screened. The machine would "sniff" the air that came back into the machine and it was able to detect any explosives or drugs. The procedure was incredibly fast. Granted, I was the only person in that line. The point is, the security should be multiple layers. If a person fails one test then another test is performed. That sniffer machine does not give to a life-changing dose of radiation, and it also doesn't expose your "junk" to the eyes of a voyeur TSA agent.
Dogs are also a fantastic tool for the detection of explosives. A specially trained dog can detect the faintest odor emitted from hidden explosives. A dog and it's handler could be stationed near the start of the zig zag line that is going to the metal detectors. A person could be taken out of the line if the dog detects something. The person could be placed in the x-ray scanner for a more thorough search, or use the enclosed "sniffer" machine. Everybody would still go thru the metal detectors, and be forced to take their shoes off.
Talking about that - REMEMBER WHEN TAKING OFF YOUR SHOES, AND WALKING BAREFOOT IN THE AIRPORT WAS THE ULTIMATE INDIGNITY? Ah, the GOOD OLD DAYS.
A dog tends to get tired and / or bored doing the same job for a long period of time. A possible better solution would be to have an open ended machine, that is similar to the enclosed machine that puffed air at me. Multiple people could walk thru a three-sided walkway at the same time. The machine would constantly puff air at the line of people that would be walking thru it. If one of the people triggered the machine, then that group could be singled out for a higher level of security. A possibility would be for the people to take individual turns inside the enclosed machine, which I think, would be the best answer to finding the source of the first machine's positive reaction.
Almost finishing up on my rant. Other countries don't have the same draconian procedures that we are forced to endure when we travel by air. We are SUPPOSED to be the LAND OF THE FREE. Little, by little, that line is less true.
According to our Constitution, we are supposedly free to travel from one state to another, without showing our "papers" a.k.a. drivers license. That is one of the tiny steps that has been taken to bite into our Constitutional freedoms. Constitutional First Amendment rights are never removed with one giant bite. The rights are always nibbled away. The trouble is, a tiny nibble that is performed a hundred times produces the same effect as one giant bite. The reasons for the tiny bites are ALWAYS FOR A NOBLE CAUSE. We are trying to protect your safety, said by the paternalistic UNCLE SAM.
Hey, Uncle Sam, I don't want to live in a cocoon. 100% safety is a tiny bit stifling. Maybe, you can make it 95% or 96%. Uncle Sam, all of your nephews and nieces love you, just the same, sometimes, you are a real pain-in-the-"junk"
Hey, TSA agents - I NEED & WANT MY BIG SLOPPY KISS, RIGHT NOW.
