You're on the List!

I got to say, every time you turn around there is another sampling of stupidity thrust upon us. I heard on the radio today that a little kid, around 10 years old, has the same name as some social miscreant who is on the "do not fly list." I can live with similar names on a list. Just look at a phone book.

The unbelievable part of this story is that this kid has been body searched since he was two years old! Give me a break. A guy waltzes onto an international flight with a load in his pants and for the grace of God can only fart. A little two year old kid is patted down and his drawers are searched! As this kid grows older he gets searched each and every time.

The response from the TSA or some other alphabet soup agency was the list only contains names! If they know so dam much about these people and feel they are a threat to us, then why don't they use pictures, descriptions, age statistics, and so on. But in light of all that has happened recently they are thinking of revising how they do the screening process!

They're thinking about doing something! Thinking and Government Bureaucracy are truly an oxymoron. How many years has it been since 9/11? How many soldiers have been killed, wounded, and destroyed? And these bureaucrats just sit back and think about it.

Local police departments have better technology. They can just drive up and down the street and tell if you've had your license plates renewed, or your insurance has expired. But the airport screeners still use the list!

God Help Us!
