Take a moment and read the article on Reuters concerning the shutdown of a California airport. I’ll give you the highlights here:
A thirty one year old gardener is inspected after the TSA bomb sniffing equipment gives an alarm over his bag. Found inside are five Gatorade bottles containing an amber colored liquid. The equipment finds positive for TNT and TATP. Two out of five of the TSA officers inspecting the containers, are overcome from what they called “chemical odors” when examining the material and are rushed to the hospital after becoming severely nauseous. The entire airport is shutdown for the rest of the day. County Sheriffs, the fire department and FBI agents, as well as members of a “joint terrorism task force” arrive on the scene and question the gardener for the remainder of the day. He is described as being “very cooperative” with their investigation.
Tests come back with the finding that the five bottles contain honey.
You read that right. Honey. You know, the food made by bees.
I realize that most of the TSA is manned by idiots so dim witted that they can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, but the level of bat-shit idiocy needed to convince yourself that you’re somehow overcome by the “chemical odor” emanating from a bottle of honey is so staggering, that you have to wonder if there are more than two or three neurons in their head altogether – and they’re devoted to panic!
Honey?
America wants these drooling morons operating full body scanners that may cause damage to your DNA? Even if they don’t cause harm when operated properly, do you trust these imbeciles to operate the machines correctly?
Seriously, folks – when are you going to say no to this intrusive, ineffective, mind-numbing nonsense? When are you going to finally have your fill of security theater?
How much of your liberty and common sense are you willing to sacrifice for a little perceived safety?
