Personally, I’d rather be scanned and patted-down than blown up in an airplane. That’s just me.
But then I knew people who were blown out of the sky over Lockerbie Scotland. And I knew a firefighter who was running up the towers when they came down.
You might know someone who has been killed thanks to angry religious fanatics, too. I think it’s a good idea to make it harder for them to blow us up, as best as we possibly can.
Seems to me the people who are most concerned about being patted down are people who have body issues and who don't get laid. I can’t imagine a TSA officer enjoys patting your flabby American body looking for weapons any more than you like it. But there are plenty of people out there who would get a big kick out of you being dead. Especially if you were completely terrorized in an airplane with a bunch of other innocents while it happened. Think your “freedom” is being taken away? How about your life?
Wake up, people. You live in a bulls-eye if you live in America. Until we wise-up and apply some imagination and start profiling every single person who walks into the airport you will have to be searched and scanned. It doesn’t matter what you look like. We’re all part of the game now. It’s not fair. But life isn’t fair. And if you want to stay in this “horribly unfair” life game, shut up and get scanned and stop slowing the rest of us down. We just want to get home in one piece.
Take off your shoes and keep the line moving folks, and welcome to America in the 21st Century.
Happy Thanksgiving. And I mean that.
