i see that I've said this before http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...3&postcount=12

As long as we're STUPID enough to have the same reactions every time, those in power will continue with whatever they're doing. a rebellion of morons enforces a ruler.

alas, the world is that idiotic, and will probably remain so

"A new tax on carbon? Verily, Orwells depiction of a totalitarian state enforced by perpetual war and mass killings is the natural corollary..."

Stop being f*cking sheep, people. And that goes for the orwell-reading clash-listening types out there too. get a new work of art to lean on, pick on something NEW

I don't have a problem with the invasion of privacy issue that surrounds this.

However, I do have a problem with the radiation exposure and personal details that *WILL* eventually be kept. Fillings, plates, pins, clamps, piercings, shrapnel.

I was tired of the sheer incompetence of TSA personnel, although since I've met a guy a couple months ago who works with TSA it did shine a whole new light on my viewpoint.

Even the TSA personnel themselves couldn't understand the guidelines for what they were supposed to do, and that the TSA administration has so much red tape that it was a near miracle to get anything useful accomplished).

Still, it defies all reasoning as to why TSA would seize NAIL CLIPPERS, which are sold in the airport by the way, and now are seizing liquid items. Liquid explosives are easily detectable (often more so than solid explosives), and are also unstable (you're more likely to have it go off by accident than on purpose).

What a shame! I won't get that nice girl at the airport to frisk me anymore! I was getting turned on by the sound of the rubber glove being put on!

I'm not sure. The scene I'm thinking of has Arnie (I think) as a skeleton moving behind a screen, until he breaks through the screen. It's been a long time, and I only saw those once.
