Ah I’d hate to be a TSA windmill in LAX then again the term “lax” security is worthy of a titter as is the rest of this post which in saner times would have been a reject draft for the “Brazil” screenplay.

The comments on his posts are more worrying than the TSA ( for now) We have to stop kidding ourselves that the public doesn’t -love- their security theater. I get flack from people re my refusing to be searched after buying items in stores, of having people trying to look in and around the baby yet most of you are happy with and welcome the intrusion.
I just honestly forgot that liquids are dangerous nowadays. He held it in front of my face like it was a Nazi membership card that he’d found in my blazer. “You know you can’t have this, right?”
I almost — almost — said something snarky about how it was cool that he didn’t care about my Swiss Army knife or my Leatherman tool. Instead my reply was, “Oh, yeah, right. Sorry about that.” I reached for the water bottle, saying, “I’ll just chug that now.”
You would have thought I pulled an UZI out of my ass at this point. He literally jumped backwards and told me, “Don’t come any closer!”
Hell one of the commenters likens the Captcha to the TSA , yeah a blog eats a comment and he equates that with the state , and their guns, demanding you beg their permission to move freely while doing what Simon says. Can we reset this back to 1776?
