It's for the Children Though

Having to raise my arms and get my thighs rubbed whenever I travel by air. Senseless ceremony built on an original fictional sin of a bunch of brownish guys with box-cutters who brought THE EMPIRE to its knees. Now I can’t carry a LARGE bottle of Visine. Okey-doke.

It's infuriating to see the elderly, young and disabled treated like criminals at airports while people from terrorist countries are welcome with open arms without proper vetting. The whole thing is a joke played on Americans by their government (both sides.) Last time I went through security in Denver they were busy harassing a college student for attempting to fly with homemade toothpaste - GAwdforbid.

Ah, the great quagmire of travel in the USA.... Be glad you're not on a bus, they do the same stuff at different terminals, but they really treat you like crap as they think since on a bus, that you're basically knocking on skid rows doorstep. The first time I experienced this was like 10 years ago, and it was the last time to take a bus for me, and I think permanently as the program has expanded from what I hear.

I guess we few just keep giving them crap; all of them; they hate those uncomfortable moments.
