Lot's of thoughts arise as I read this post.
First: I hate flying. Being an average sized person, I still feel like the seats are too small and everyone is packed in like sardines.
Second: The naked body scanners are just a way for security companies to make money off of fear. We are taught to be afraid and thus we need to have more devices that collect more and more data on us. Who are owners of the companies that make the scanners?
Third: What is the end game, the desired outcome, of all the data-mining? Is is really "just" for selling us goods and services? Hardly. Why would all this data be housed in Utah by "our" government?
Times they are a changin'......I just hope and wish that more would wake-up to the matrix we are currently living in and the direction that we are going.
P.S. Thanks for listening to my rambling. I hate flying.
I also hate flying, and I agree it has now moved into overkill, body scans and such. However, if you compromise what is there, don't you end up with the worst of both worlds? All the "Feel Ups" and none of the safety.
I no longer fly for pleasure, it just isn't pleasant.
I don't think this is a black or white issue. Sure there should be safety measures but I feel that there is an agenda being pushed to make us afraid of each other and embrace whatever the powers-that-shouldn't-be deem necessary to control us like the cattle they think we are. I don't think that the George Soro's of the world care about the common man, thus the naked scanners and the small seats in airplanes.
Again, thanks for listening to my rant. I don't fly that often, but when I do I dread it.
