In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.
Well, in fairness, many three year olds are a terror, but not ones in a body cast with a broken leg. Because his wheelchair set off the beeper, the poor little tyke was taken aside -- parents not allowed to come with him -- and searched.
If seeing a child like this being patted down like a convicted criminal checking into a prison makes you feel safe, you don’t belong on board an aircraft, you belong in a psychiatric hospital. Really. Get some help.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you suppose was going through the brain of the mindless Heimat Seicherheit goon as he was doing this? Aside from a dull "hum" of a motor running while disengaged from any actual work? I suppose he thought he was just following orders, doing what he had to do or he'd get in trouble and it might jeopardize his paycheque. No different to the people who delivered the supplies to Sobibor. And when it comes time to fire live ammunition into the mobs of anarchists who are blocking the streets in some American city this year, the same mindset will be at work amongst the gun-toting goons keeping order in the Land of the Free.
