Yes, I said fuck Homeland Security!
It is nothing but a scam, one big giant scam. How do I know? Because I have just flown on Northwest Airlines to Kalamazoo, Michigan. My intention was to travel light, with one small bag to carry on the plane; but, oh my god, Gestapo stood in my way and made a big fucking deal over a few items in my very small bag.
Who the fuck did the brainless automatons, working at the twisted maze known as Sky Harbor Airport, automatons who force citizens to go through insane security measures, think this old lady was? A mad bomber? A would be assassin of a planeload of people?
Oh, good god, those who are paid not to think or use common sense must have felt victorious and powerful, when they rummaged through my bag and pulled out contents they claimed I was not allowed to carry on the plane.
What were the objects? You won’t believe it: 2 ounces of Oil of Olay, 1 ounce of Fixodent, 2 ounces of Vicks Vaporub, and, oh my god, 7 ounces each of shampoo & conditioner!
Jesus Christ, what has happened to this country?
The brainless automaton who pulled these items out of my bag (and would not let me touch them), said they were not to be carried on the plane. Hum, lets analyze this.
Did the Great Zombies of Homeland Security really think this little old disabled lady, seated in a wheelchair, on her way to Kalamazoo to see a play, intended to bring down the plane?
Did the brainless puppets of Big Brother think my PLOT was to ask the flight attendant to take my bag out of the overhead compartment, once the plane was in the big blue sky; so I could waste my Oil of Olay by mixing it with Fixodent powder and Vicks, in order to create a harmless chemical paste? A homeland-security paste threat?
Did they think I was going to spread the combined mixture on crackers, knock on the cockpit door, and offer the concoction to the pilot to eat? Certainly, the three items were not going to blow up the plane, separately or combined!
Maybe, they thought that I was going to waste my expensive shampoo & conditioner, by forcing everyone to clean their hair at my expense; and, then, while everyone was busy bowing to my command, they must have assumed that I was going to hijack the plane and fly it into a building.
Sorry, ma’am, you cannot take your property on the plane! You can throw them away or you can PAY $20.00 to check your carry-on bag and have it stowed in the belly of the plane. Oh! I see! My life-threatening property did not pose a threat as long as I paid an extra $20.00.
Here is where your TAX dollars are going America, to bring down little people like me!
