Hell of a way to run a railroad.

Or an airport terminal, either.

I suppose we are fortunate, as yet, not to be required to show an internal passport, with a visa to make a temporary visit to the destination in another part of United States. There is a continuing reason to keep our personal transportation, i.e., automobiles, which still permit embarking upon a journey without too much bureaucracy involved, and certainly without an intrusive inspection that serves no useful purpose other than to make travels continually difficult for people who have no intention of making trouble, but absolutely miss the real perpetrators.

I probably will not take an airplane anywhere again in my lifetime.

I’ve never been on a plane and don’t forsee a time when I’ll need to be on one.

I am acquainted with a guy who works for the TSA. He is the husband of a friend of my wife’s. The guy apparently has some wires crossed in his brain or something, really, I kid you not. He puts words together to make sentences that just make no sense, and in your head you are going, “WTF!!?” — Like Yogi Berra, but without any wisdom or common sense. And, he is all thumbs. He literally hardly knows which end of a screwdriver to use. His wife won’t let him near tools, for fear of what will happen. And they give this guy a friggin’ probe ...

So there you go ... this is one of the guys on the front line at our airports, making you safer, ferreting out terrorists.

Feel safer now??

Thought so ...
