The alleged “controversy” about <\/span>AIT<\/span><\/span> (who cares what it is supposed to stand for) at airports and, increasingly, evidently hidden in vans on Amerikan streets, fascinates me.\u00a0 It’s not just that the Naked Body Scanners are an abomination from the pit of a police state hell-on-earth<\/em>, however, it’s how a disgusting majority of the sheeple comprising the still-traveling public continue to submit supinely (well, standing with arms outstretched, anyway) to the abuse.<\/p>\n

But there are encouraging signs.\u00a0 A few vocal individuals, like former Express Jet airline pilot Michael Roberts, have been willing enough to say “No!” to such invasion, even at the cost of their job.\u00a0 Many, many others have simply decided to avoid commercial air travel whenever possible — although the response of the Terror State Administration and those who fund them has simply been to “bring the show on the road.”<\/p>\n

Others of us fight such Evil in additional ways.\u00a0 Ridicule is such an alternative.\u00a0 While questioning the Gestapo-inspired Thugs manning the turnstiles at an airport is guaranteed to result in missing a flight, and probable arrest — to do so in print or in person\u00a0 will still probably just get someone put on a list, for now.<\/p>\n

So, in the spirit of speaking the Truth “boldly”, as we all ought to, I offer the following observation:<\/p>\n

Now there are two more:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Naked Body Scans are good for you,”\u00a0 and<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“We don’t save the Kiddie Porn pictures…or your wife’s.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
