The only problem I said I had with America..is my father had a brand new British Passport..you know, that thing that lets you go into other fucking countries? Apparently that isn't enough, and he had to get a temporary visa, and get finger printed and all kinds of stupid retarded bullshit.
That 50 something British guy with tons of ID and his son traveling with him must be a terrourst...!
Also, border patrol are a bunch of assholes, they searched our car and found my dads advil and then tried to act like they caught us in a drug smuggling operation. A bunch of stupid, panicky fucking jerkoffs...who were almost victims of ANOTHER terrorist attack on Christmas, none of the fancy pants..hurr durr American anti-terror did anything to stop it..despite the fact the dude was on watchlists, his dad came down to turn him in... and all kinds of shit, meanwhile I'm on the verge of being strip searched just because I decided to cross the border at night.
Bah. Get this back on topic, do you think the scanners are good or not? Because I do...since anything that would make airport security faster and safer is a good thing, even if some fat sweaty dude has to get an eye fullof my cock.
Honda, I read your last post as a huge contradiction. In one paragraph you're complaining about being harassed by border patrol then you say anything that makes airport security safer is a good thing. All the border patrol guys are doing is trying to make things safer just like the rights raping x-ray scanners. I personally think both are a ridiculous over reaction.
To be safer you have to be willing to give up freedoms and to be treated like a criminal? I'd rather die free tomorrow then live the next 1,000 years with the government holding my hand.
I guess I was saying, as opposed to standing around for 3 hours, filling out forms..being searched and all sorts of stupid fucking horseshit. If I could spend 30 seconds standing in an x-ray machine, and then carrying on about my business, I'm all for it.
I guess what I'm realllly saying, is this American anti terror shit is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. So if I have to pick between two different versions of bullshit, I'll go with the quicker one.
Personally, I'd rather just walk onto an airliner with perhaps a quick X-ray of my luggage or whatever, and leave it at that.
If someone wants to strap a bomb to his ballsack and ignite his dick at some point during the flight, I'm willing to take the odds that he fails rather than harass and inconvenience hundreds of millions of people for years, because of one rogue nutsack lighter.
It's pretty funny how reactive the whole process is. After the shoe bomber, billions of shoes had to be removed and scanned separately for a few years, and then slowly each airport stopped doing that and now every airport I go through lets me leave my shoes on. I'm pretty sure that the standard metal detectors haven't changed in these airports, so clearly this kind of attack could now be considered again.
Same thing with liquids - when it was first considered a threat the airports came down so hard it was ridiculous... anything vaguely looking bottle shaped or non solid was deemed as hazardous to the extreme, and only transparent <100ml bottles in a transparent bag were grudgingly let through. On my last flight I forgot I had a 750ml bottle of wine in my hand luggage and the guys at the xray either didn't pick it up or just let it go.
Now the thick-as-two-brick fucks who are paid to counter terror let a guy get on the plane with every red flag you could possibly imagine, and instead of admitting they fucked up, firing themselves and turning vegitarian, the finger gets pointed back at the passengers and we now have no choice than be subjected to xrays with idea how they may affect ones vision, skin, kids, whatever. When you are going to get that over 100 times a year, it kind of sucks.
I'm all for improving security, but these measures, and the way we have reacted in the past and then moved on to the next 'big thing', do nothing but admit that the terrorists are achieving their goal.
Not flys.
You know, those scanners don't penetrate body cavities, so I predict an anal bomber emerges in about 7 years (approx. time between Shoe-bomber Reid and applebag bomber Abdulmutallab or whatever).
After that I that we'll have a government sponsored "cash-for-planes" program, subsidizing all the airlines due to the massive drop in rides, due to the mandatory TSA cavity searches and naked plane riding.
And, of course, none of it actually makes anyone any safer, it just calms the nerves of the masses of morons.
Anal cavity bomber....
what would be a shitty thing to be labeled.
I har har'd.
