Playing with our minds - The paranoia part deux

They say now that there are over forty people detained for being involved in the "terrorist incident" of last week. But how is it that a 40 person "cell" of terrorists would be so damn stupid to get caught like this you ask? The answer is very easy.

Because they are not terrorists, they are stool pidgeons.

I find it odd that at a time when Bush & Blair are at the lowest approval ratings, as well as both Brits & Americans are massively opposing the war actions going on in the Middle East, something like this would happen.
This did not occur because of a group of Muslims were striking out against the United States. This occurred to strike fear & paranoia into those of us that have either become complacent, or very pissed off about our friends & family being killed for nothing more than a power trip by a group of control freaks.

So now we have a situation:

• that calls for people to show up more than 3 hours before their flight time, {Here @ SFX outbound flights start @ 6am, but the airport is closed at 3am}
  
• cannot have anything for a carry on except for medical & personal things that would be needed during the flight [asthma, heart pills, unboxed & unwrapped tampons], and your ID {ok, I a know lot of creative people, but I have yet to meet ANYONE that can make an explosive device out of a Tampax}, in a clear plastic bag. I see it like going to a summer day camp.
  
• Have to pack your Ipod, cell phone, laptop, pda, or anything else of value in your checked luggage, {BTW your flight insurance will not cover loss or damage}, because these things could be used as a triggering device for a bomb.
• airlines are canceling flights because people are too scared to fly, thus those who are not falling prey to the paranoia get totally screwed over because they have to change plans for a later flight
• tensions are flaring & people are getting even more biased & violent against those who are Muslim {well, they ARE the cause of all of our problems aren't they?} [BULLSHIT!]
• and right now there is more terror in the heart & soul of America than there would have been if this was an actual threat carried out
  

A friend of mine has a daughter that got stuck @ O'Hare because of this.
I also know of someone that was traveling in England & got a bums rush in trying to get back home.
I myself would be really pissed off if I had to dump my contact lens solution, shampoo, toothpaste & other stuff to fly someplace for a meeting, buy another set of the stuff that I had to dump, and then do the same thing 2 days later when I came back.

I'm sorry, but this whole thing does not make sense to me.

Why would they have multiple people leave from the same airport on the same day? On top of which, from one of the most tightly secured airports in the world!! Heathrow has always been a pain in the ass even before 9.11.01, and now it is a major hemorrhoid.

Now they say that you cannot have anything fluid with you on the plane what is next?

• no shoelaces - they could be det-cord
• no chewing gum - could be C4 {as who the hell would chew on C4, it tastes like ass!}
• no eyeglasses - you could set off you shoelace/det-cord by focusing the light from the window like a magnifying glass.
• no shirts with buttons - the buttons could be those things that ninjas have that they throw & create a big puff of smoke
• no hard contact lenses - because of the sharp edges you could slit someone's throat with them
  
• no belts - you could strangle or tie people up with that {I know some people that might even enjoy it!}
• no books, magazines or other reading material - one word, papercut
• no digital watches - the alarm could be used to trigger the det-cord laces that sets off the wad of chewing gum C4 that is stuck to the bottom of your shoe
• no life - a dead passenger can't kill the other dead passengers

I hope you can follow where I am going here. The current attitude from the powers that be is that in order for us Americans to be free, we have to lose our freedom & be confined.

And I am again sorry but,
that shit don't fly with me!

Blessed Be all, and start playing nice with each other O.K.?
