And the security theater has expanded. They now have security checks at places such as Disney and ball parks. It’s enough to make one nostalgic for a time when you could just walk into such places.
As if that weren’t bad enough, I now get the same treatment at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts to use my KC Symphony season tickets, choose to go to the ballet or the opera or any entertainment venue there, go visit the Zoo, the art gallery, the museum or other paying event!
I’m expecting very soon to be “greeted” with similar treatment to go out to my favorite restaurant or shopping trip, as those are almost the only areas left in my life that “security” scams haven’t been subjected to!
TSA, not ASA. The hook is that the "T" stands for "Transportation", not "Airline".
So . . . how long is it until "Transportation" is interpreted as covering roads, highways, Interstates, etc. as "security" is extended there.
Oops. Just looked it up - TSA is defined as "an agency established in 2001 to safeguard United States transportation systems and insure safe air travel."
The Camel's Nose comes to mind.
