Subj : Re: OT Military To : All From : Kavanagh Date : Mon Jan 13 2003 10:16 pm I am going to depart from a primary email post rule and reply to the first post in a thread that I consider ill informed (I am being polite). I fly/drive all over this ball (planet). Bloody nuisance by and large. Great fun and interesting for the first 20 years or so. The "911" thing and the subsequent hysteria was idiotic at the Airports. The "professional" screeners repeatedly stopped me, a 50 odd year old freckled Irish male and searched my baggage by hand; next best bet were Black females older than I, for a search. Obvious candidates for "round up the usual suspects" walked through, but they have to have a quota; search the blacks and whites first. Its a great idea. Blacks and whites are well known for their adherence to terrorism, so check them first. Dont check any Arab ever, especially if there is an 80 year old black or white Lady available to even up the statistics for CNN . >From a message by Cherokee about Re: OT Military: > That is oversimplified. It is not the airlines mandating the searches. In fact, the airlines are no longer able to employ their own security personnel. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the new government agency handling airport security, and we DO in fact have less freedom when flying than we used to. Even so, I say big deal. They are working to protect planes and passengers from terrorism. They aren't digging through your luggage to try to find out if you cheated on your taxes. --- col sanders wrote: > > Being able to lock your bags on an airplan has nothing to do with > freedom.
