Don't Fly If You Just Had Surgery!

Posted by Unknown on from the that's-a-nice-bomb-job dept.

mcgrew writes "The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the TSA is now worried about surgically implanted bombs. Are they trying to get everyone to stop flying entirely? I know there's no way they'd get me in an airliner these days. I'll drive, even though it is far, far more dangerous."

    This was the logical end of this stupidity. Face it folks, you can't be 100% safe, no matter how many liberties you give up.

      It was precisely what the terrorists wanted in the first place..

      Stop with the script reading, please... With its credibility in the shitter, it's what the government wanted in the first place. They had to use the terrorism angle to get us wimps to go long without questioning anything and distract attention away form its other abuses. Anybody who disagreed was immediately tagged.. Worked like a charm.. Exploitation of natural instincts always does

      They hated us for our way of life

      You still don't get it.

      Noone hates you for "your way of life".

      They hate you because of the things your government has done and is still doing.

    I remember in the 80s, Sonny Bono himself managed to get a bomb onto a SPACE SHUTTLE without really needing to hide it anywhere! In fact, he bought it in the airport gift shop!

    The TSA operation manual is actually Nineteen Eighty-Four.

    Whoever mods me Funny, please don't. It's not a joke.
