Boxers or briefs?\u00a0 Hands on or a nude photo?\u00a0 When did TSA become T&A?\u00a0 In Minnesota we often use “you can only take off so many clothes.” to explain our preference for cold weather over hot.\u00a0 You can always add more layers.\u00a0 Here’s a real problem with the hands on approach to security:\u00a0 you can only take off so many clothes.\u00a0 Inch by inch the guberment has let its security obsession get us to just that point.<\/p>\n
It’s nonsensical to ask for no security, but when the creeping hand of government has moved up my crotch, well then by gum, they’ve gone to far.\u00a0 It reminds me of that mythical frog sitting on the stove in gradually warming water.\u00a0 The security water has begun to boil and we’ve been the frogs.<\/p>\n
A complete rethink has to come.\u00a0 When thousands of ordinary travelers find themselves treated as terrorists until proven innocent, there has got be a better way.\u00a0 In no other part of our quasi-libertarian culture would anything even close to this heavy handed be tolerated, but because it’s air travel we’re asked to bend over backward.\u00a0 Well, actually not yet.\u00a0 But it could be next.<\/p>\n
All funning aside.\u00a0 Living in a security state has a long and high profile career in science fiction, but it’s not the vision of the future I wanted to see come to pass.<\/p>\n
My basic response to all this is to ride the train, drive or just not go, though the last couple of times I’ve flown I’ve actually found the whole process less onerous than before, but this new wrinkle seems designed to push us back in time, not forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
