These minions of the UNITEDSTATES OF AMERICA Inc are not public servants. They are plain and simple security guards. They are hired to enforce the rules set down by the Corporation. They could care less about mine or yours opinions of them.
They are selected on that basis.
I just went through airports from Raleigh NC to Rome via Toronto Canada and back. It is only in the United States that these draconian measures are needed.
If the Air travelers are willing to put up with this stuff they will continue. When the Airlines stop being able to make their money because of this stuff we will see a change. This is step 1.
Step 2 will be everyone getting a biometric card or implanted chip that will prevent their having to endure this.
Enter the mark of the beast. Millions of tagged cattle rushing about till they are no longer needed.
Personally if I need to fly I will eat a lot of beans and have a beer, then when they search I will fart. Probably shorten the lines too.
