Big Wide World

i'm sorry, but is bush and his team smart enough that they succeeded in making people so afraid that they are now letting ANYTHING happend in the name of security? people. wake up. whatever you let them do is just false security. its the illusion that they are creating in making you believe that you're safer, when, in reality, you're not. you now just have less rights.

for example. there is a new zealand athlete named kate horan, who has an artifical leg. a week before te paralympics world track and field championship in amsterdam, she was at the airport. she was forced to check her $6,400 US running leg to the baggage hold on the british airways flight because of security restrictions. and the airline lost her leg.

so now, this woman is travelling, and they ask her to check her limb (cause, essentially, it is her limb) and she does it. without question.

now, i don't have any prosthetics or anything. but i'm assuming that when you have one, its a part of you. i don't understand being in an airport, and first of all, the security asking you to surrender a limb for checking, and second, surrendering it, without question. i mean really, what the hell is she going to do with it? beat the pilots and flight crew to death with it. or, hey, maybe she's hiding bombs in the leg. she's hollowed it out in order to use it as storage. give me a break.

the world has gone insane, and most people with it. if that was me, i woulnd't fly on that flight. would they ask someone with a fake eye to surrender that. or hey, people with metal plates in their heads. that's a threat. who knows, maybe they are just psycho enough to rip the plates out of their own heads, and use them as weapons. why don't we confescate those too?
