    Mark– The only thing worse than the abu­sive Nean­derthalian TSA goons is the apa­thetic cow­ardly major­ity of Amer­i­cans who so will­ingly give up their lib­erty. For­tu­nately , we are in nei­ther group. Unfor­tu­nately we are duty bound to fight the
    For­mer in order to save the later notwith­stand­ing the lat­ers infu­ri­at­ing com­plic­ity in their own destruction.

    In the mean­time, this is one Jew­ish man who sees strik­ing & fright­en­ing par­al­lels between this period in his­tory and one about 80 years ago across the Atlantic. Mass con­trol of the sheep is easy when the sheep are con­di­tioned to expect the con­trol. It’s even eas­ier when the sheep are grate­ful for the control.

    Thank you and oth­ers for keep­ing a sharp eye for those of use who won’t be rid­ing the God damn trains this time. Eter­nal vig­i­lance is get­ting to be …more eternal.

  2. Mr. B., at first I envi­sioned multi-colored rats in lock­step for­ma­tion to their final des­tiny of destruc­tion as the piper’s lil helpers drop kicks the strag­glers. Then I remem­bered that they (USA) has recently out­lawed “bel­liger­ents” (plural) to coin­cide with other laws aimed at increas­ing the def­i­n­i­tion & con­se­quences of — Dis­or­derly Con­duct. (can’t find the SJ. link). The Rus­sians one uped us by call­ing it “hoolliganism”.

    Adding this to the very well put: “…cow­ardly major­ity of Amer­i­cans who so will­ingly give up their lib­erty”, planes falling apart in mid-air, crew flip­ping out, pas­sen­gers flip­ping out, TSA power trip­pers, fin­gers manda­to­rily going in places where they shouldn’t and you get a dou­ble dose of WTF? Mul­ti­ply that by the fact that Pre-911 air­port secu­rity con­sisted of those barely able to speaky and you get folks like myself that refused to fly way back then even if you per­son­ally gave free tick­ets and hot toddies.

    RED ALERT! The cure to TSD (Trans­porta­tion Stu­pid­ity Dis­ease) is avail­able and free. 1. Avoid air­ports. 2. Avoid trav­el­ing through states that allow rogue police to roam freely in search of out of state or out of county license plates. 3. Stay home — Skype / Email as you “Un-Occupy” tm the rat race to grand­mas. Thanks.

    I can’t wait until I’m sub­jected to the prisoner-training “Freeze!” drill.

    I will con­tinue just as I was, walk­ing with­out even a pause.

    If I’m ques­tioned, I’ll reply–
