There is an interesting new video on YouTube (as of 2008), shooting at the TSA, which seems to become a hot item. Yesterday when I watched it, it had a few hundred views and today when I looked again it had some 35 thousand views.
So, I thought to blog about it and encourage more bloggers to blog about, and certainly add own experiences and stories to it.
Currently, the TSA might not care too much about it. The effect of their actions is too far removed from them. If they would feel the loss of revenue from people who decide not to fly anymore, the situation would be different. It appears there is no incentive for them to change – pretty much everybody hates them anyway, so what’s the harm in one more gangstaz rap?
The reason form me to spread the word is my belief that it is not too late to reach critical mass, and these guys are thrown out, even though they have a monopoly in violence. The voices of objection are getting louder and louder and fortunately, the tyrants don’t take action. If they had studied their tyrant manual properly they would know that only a loved tyrant is a successful tyrant, in the long run, so, please don’t tell them about this essential training manual, OK?
Hitler became a bad tyrant and had to suppress opposition with force, and what did that bring him? A rather short reign! So, let’s spread the word about this abuse of power and critical mass will be reached so much faster, and then we can get back to normal where public servants know that they are servants and behave accordingly…
OK look. TSA aren’t tyrants. If your comparing TSA to Machiavelli’s “The Prince” there is something wrong with you because the book was written to unite Italy not serve as a manual in aviation safety!
The reason they confiscate things is to help you stay safe when you travel. Ya it sucks and we all have to put up with it, but blame terrorists not airport screeners! Do you know how many idiots these guys have to put up with in a day?!?! Look on their website for weekly updates on how many guns they’ve confiscated from people just trying to walk right on in with them! Terrorists can make bombs out of almost anything. That’s why TSA is so cautious with what they confiscate. Everybody complains about their stuff that gets confiscated but then when skyscrapers are falling and idiots are trying to lite their shoes on fire for an on board bomb, it’s always TSA’s fault and then there’s lawsuit after lawsuit about negligence and this and that. It’s just a whole lot of complaining from people who don’t know how good they have it in this country! Try taking a trip to Bolivia like I did and being escorted out to the plane by a line of guards with machine guns!
Hi Phil,
how much do you make working for the TSA? (or other PR agency of the Feds.)
I mean, it’s hard for me to imagine to sell out that bad, but I have to admit that it might be possible but my price would have to be VERY high.
An, NO, we don’t have to put up with it. We don’t even have to become violent as Ghandi showed us when he got rid of the British tyrants.
By the way, for everybody not having understood that – the damage to our country and economy by spreading this fear far outweighs the rather minor damage done by any terrorist, if, in fact, these acts were perpetrated by terrorist and not our government that now reaps all the benefits.
yea it makes us so safe. Im a pilot and every airport you go to has different rule. 80% of the people working security are middle easterns.Also do you actually thin the a terriorest is going to walk through security when they can just walk throuh an open door or gate on the field. security is a joke. “wise up america”
