I was talking with one gentleman at church on Saturday and we were talking about the restriction of movement. The conversation started with how some people want to bring back the 55 mph National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL). He was pretty upset on that one like me. He then mentioned that flying has gotten to be such a pain with dealing with TSA and the expense. He mentioned that the liberals don't want you to travel too much such as leave town. This is kind of parallel with a manager I worked for at one time - a tree hugger liberal democrat. He didn't like it when you wanted to use your earned vacation time unless it was a day here and a day there. You also had to get permission to leave town as well when you took vacation.
I am thinking of this theory about liberals, they are the modern day's version of the Puritans. The don't want you to enjoy the fruits of your labor and that idea is enforced by punitive taxes. The 55 mph limit/NMSL (hopefully stays dead) is another example to make traveling more dreadful instead of being enjoyable. Restrictions on travels through this 55 mph and making flying painful would discourage you from taking vacation especially to anywhere else a great distance. Don't forget to add in limitations on smoking and eating unhealthy food. Also add in other petty rules and regulations on top of that.
I understand your general point, but TSA was implemented by Bush, not the greens.
Airport security is a hassle. I wish they’d emulate El Al and just super-reinforce the doors to the cockpits. There are five of you, with boxcutters? Fine, you can kill all the passengers and flight attendants. Then when we land you’ll be arrested unless you kill yourselves first. But you ain’t gettin’ in here.
If there’s no percentage in hijacking there won’t be hijackers.
