The latest attack on TSA has me absolutely baffled.
There are a growing number of people that are not ok with the new screening methods TSA has employed. They consider them an invasion of privacy and potentially hazardous.
Ok, I get it…so you are ok with the pat downs as an alternative?
Well, no, they are not.
The same group is now screaming a pat down is also a violation of privacy and that they should not have to do those as well. Some people are claiming it is against their religious beliefs as well.
Excuse me? Religious beliefs?
I am pretty sure Jesus, Buddha, and Allah never had to go through airport screening, but what do I know?
These people feel they should not have to go through any screening but, basically, everyone else should.
You can’t have your cake and eat it to. This group will be the first to get upset if another plane goes down because someone brought something on board they were not suppose to.
Hey, flying is not a right. You can take the bus if you are not comfortable with the safety requirements to board a plane. Matter of fact, I kind of wish you would.
Are you really ok with the guy in line behind you wearing a robe, big jacket, or pajamas not going through any kind of security screening? How about we just sit that person next to you or your family on the plane?
Look, the rules have changed. If you don’t want to see Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving, don’t go into a department store. If you are trying to find more time in your day, don’t get a Facebook account. And lastly, if you want to fly without any type of security screening, get your own plane.
We CAN NOT continue to cater to a bunch of whiners. We CAN NOT continue to be “politically correct” every time some individual feels their rights are being ruffled.
Don’t want to go through the scanner? You have three choices in my opinion.
- Lose a few pounds so you feel better about how you look
- Elect for the pat down
- Walk
Am I missing something here?
Ok, this scares me.
People have been scouring the earth to determine that real value of twitter. Clearly Paris Hilton and massive get-rich-tweets are not the answer. But now, the solution has arrived…
Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
