So, with bags in hand and lines of people and busy security areas, we all have to take our shoes off at airports because someone failed to try to blow up a plane using a non-working and implaussible shoe bomb.
So, because a group of failed wannabe terrorists had thought about making a chemical bomb on a plane using carried on liquids–a plan which even a high school chemistry student will tell you is implaussible at best (and many chemists much more experienced and knowledgeable than a high school student have tried to tell people this), we have to put our limited amount of tiny bottles in special bags and not be able to take on any drinks through security.
Useless security hoops that do nothing except slow down the lines, irk people off, make all passengers feel like so much suspect cattle while giving security agents bloated feelings of superiority and behavior to match.
Meanwhile, actually possible security holes which would be a lot easier to maintain, cheaper on tax payers, and negatively affect far less people, are being ignored and there’s not much care:
♦ Sea-Tac’s security: Are they serious?
Meanwhile, rigurous effort is being made to root out possible hippie terrorists who might want to do hard to Republicans:
♦ FBI looking for vegan potluck terrorists
There’s a Yakov Smirnov joke about “In Soviet Amerika…” in this somewhere….
