We all joked in line, as we took off our shoes, our belts, took out our computers -- yup, the joke was: Pretty soon, we'll be going through the metal detectors naked.
And so it came to pass . . . in the "Land of the Free" and home of the brave.
Invasion of the BODY SCANNERS.
The TSA grew, and who ever's running that scam scan probably has some back-end deals going with the body scanner manufacturers, and government payola. Think about the TSA having 65,000 employees since inception not even 10 years ago. That's a HUGE growth industry . . . our tax dollars at work. Nice.
Yes, let's all focus on "keeping America safe" -- the tagline for this scam. Keep repeating it, and you'll probably forget that flying is only the beginning.
Let's have every one boarding a plane turn into a suspect. . . scan them, oh, sorry. It's a "body image" -- yes, that makes it sound a lot less intrusive. And if they don't cooperate . . . they MUST be unAmerican.
Don't they "pat down" criminals before they're put into a squad car?
Scan or pat down -- you're pick. But, when you agree to it, you give up YOUR CIVIL RIGHT.
Under the United States of America, we have a little something, something called a "Constitution" The 4th Amendment states:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
When I go through the airport, who signed the warrant to scan me, to pat me down? Who signed the warrant for probable cause which would include a full body scan, or pat down? Was that small print somewhere in the ticket I purchased?
They view my entire body on a scanner, and if I don't like it . . . well, I can get a pat down. Nothing says "Home of the Free" better than a pat down. Especially since I only want to go over the hill, and through the woods to Grandmother's house for Thanksgiving. Say a word in protest . . . assert your 4th Amendment Rights . . . and you're not going to be able to fly. Nice how government commandered the airline industry. Why not just send me to the GULAG and get it over with. Because now, with the 4th Amendment eroded, my 1st Amendment is very close to the chopping block too.
Because I have metal rods in my left leg, I have to be wanded. I get that! I make the metal detectors go off. But now . . . the 'fear' has gotten to a point of eroding America's civil rights. I'm 52, in the next 30 years, I won't really give a shit. But you want your kids getting used to the police-state mentality . . . then do nothing, say nothing, accept, accept, accept.
Pretty soon, any gathering of more than . . . oh, pick a number . . . 100 people will be "justification" to have the magic scanners. Movie theaters, concert halls . . . oh, it's big business for the scanner companies. Just think of all the venues to push their product! Terrorists can hit anywhere . . . let's all crawl under our beds, and never come out!
Last time I checked, the 4th Amendment wasn't repealed folks! It was enacted when this was truly the LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE.
Read YOUR FOURTH AMENDMENT . . . supposedly to guard against unreasonable searches and seizures.
And shame on all those that pushed this under the noses of Americans and subject our women and children to this. Last time I checked I wasn't a "subject" to a king, potentate, or ruler. But, somewhere along the line of skewed thinking, my right to buy a plane ticket and fly has summarily usurped my 4th Amendment . . . thank you body scanner ruling elite that has us all by our scanned balls.
I'd like those potentates who pushed this over on us -- making us all subjects -- to go through the scanners . . . I'd like to view a few things of my own. Mainly, I'd like to see if their cajones are really are big as they think they are! But, I'm quite sure that all those who hoodwinked us "in your own best interest, keep America safe, rah, rah, rah," only fly in private planes, so it doesn't matter to them. The masses, I like to call them Americans, can get scanned, and patted down -- or they don't have to fly. Hmmm . . . is that Marie Antoinette I hear telling us we can all eat cake?
In the unintended consquence . . . let's hope that people, friends, and family will resent this so much, they'll just MOVE CLOSER TO THEIR LOVED ONES. Maybe that will help the real estate industry.
