Air Safety? Yeah Right

In a recent article concerning the feel-up searches of air travelers, I ran across the following apologia from some shallow thinking person .

"The screener, who sits in a different location, does not see the face of the person being screened and does not know the traveler's identity. "


I can't wait to hear this defense the next time I sit on a Peeping Tom jury.  "Your honor, I did not know the identity of that hot babe I was watching, and  also I could not see her face, so you have to let me go."


The world has gone insane in their thought process. Do people not ever see the end game in the logic that they use as they craft their apologia for these intrusions? Let's see now, bombs are put together in houses, so therefore the police should be able to come into your home to search - I mean after all THAT would keep us safe, right?

Chaining us all up against the wall would keep us all safe too.

The simple fact is that freedom is not free and the threat to liberty outweighs any "need" for this, and many other intrusions of the government. What's next, "body" cavity searches? Camera's in my house, GPS tracking of all vehicles, since after all, the terrorists use cars right? No government would ever want to tighten its grip on the people and use the police power of the STATE (such as $11,000 fines for not allowing yourself to be groped) to then force the people into any totalitarian form of subjugation, right?  The fact of the matter is that for many years now, people are being trained to "allow".

Think about that statement that "freedom is not free" and you can understand that the "solution" is to stop doing that which is the threat to freedom and liberty.

BTW - "Public Safety" is the same reason that was used to institute herding the Jews into boxcars.
