TSA Of The Future?
Monday, January 25th, 2010 @ 6:50 am | We Think
In light of the many articles written about the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the numerous videos we’ve seen depicting the level of incompetence exhibited by the agency charged with keeping consumers safe on the ground in airports and in the air in planes, someone thinks our future may look like this when we travel by air…..
It would be hilarious if it not for the possibility our future may be policed in every aspect. Our lives could be over turned and disrupted for the sake of providing security. Our privacy destroyed.
Imagine driving across town and being stopped several times en route to have your vehicle searched and your person patted down. Routine security checks would be the norm when traveling by train in the city, from one city to another, from state to state, not because the authorities are searching for a fugitive, because this is how your safety is manifested as the priority of law enforcement.
It begins with complying with the request for personal information when it isn’t necessary to provide it. Once we, the public, are trained to be accepting of such requests, and we’re almost there–why does Wal-Mart need your identification when returning an item for refund? They did not require it when you made the purchase either cash or credit card…we will be totally under the control of whatever power that rules for whatever purpose they choose.
