Re: Video Shows TSA's Bizarre New Security Policy Security theater is no different than regular theater, gotta come up with new ideas to keep the audiences entertained 
I wonder when they will start screening driver's license/id databases for people who NEVER fly... those people MUST be up to something, they avoid screening like vampires avoid sunlight. -- ...Who, What, When, Where, How... Why? Why Not? |

2 edits | said by OZO:Yes, that's the goal. Actually I think the goal is to condition/control people. Once you have them used to going through checkpoints at airports and train stations etc they'll likely accept them at malls and movie theaters etc.
The same applies to monitoring all your communications. "We need to do that to track down terrorists. If you don't have anything to hide you shouldn't object." -- Don't feed trolls--it only makes them grow! |

Once you have them used to going through checkpoints at airports and train stations etc they'll likely accept them at malls and movie theaters etc ... And once folks are used to going through invasive checks at all manner of transportation points-of-entry, it will be just a matter of "increasing efficiency" to simply set them up at crossroads, bridges, and other travel choke points. Then we'll be just like any banana republic or iron curtain despotic regime. Hearing the metallic ca-chink of weapons being armed and the curt command, "Papers! Show me your papers!! NOW!!!" will become an everyday experience...

 ThalerPremium join:2004-02-02 Los Angeles, CA kudos:3 | reply to StuartMW Does the TSA have any power to actually enforce these wacky new rules (other than possibly detain/harass you for a length of time)? I can maybe put up with someone power tripping over freeze tag, but I find something seriously wrong with the demand to put something in my post-checkpoint drink or food.
I already paid $5 for my "secure" soda, and I don't need someone sticking ???? into it. I'd just as soon tell them to sit and spin and go sit in the TSA time-out box, or whatever. |

Well if history is any guide we (those that believe that this is where we're headed) won't get to see that happen. We'll either be dead or "re-educated".
