“I’m doing my part. I haven’t flown in seven years, though life would be much easier if I did.”

One of the objectives of the exercise is to convince people to *not* fly.

The “Luddite left” hate airplanes and air travel. In Britain now there are calls to heavily tax flying in addition to the taxes they already have.

“The tax – originally presented as an environmental measure – will penalise not the well-off business traveller who flies on private jets but the ordinary British holidaymaker on a well-earned break.”

Think about it, there is absolutely *no* legitimate reason for the TSA to keep increasing its level of offensive behavior, and yet it does. Why do they *concentrate* on the most innocent of people, such as small children, people in wheelchairs and the handicapped, the sick and elderly?

Security almost has nothing to do with it anymore.

Interesting observation... Why do they *concentrate* on the most innocent of people, people in wheelchairs and the handicapped, the sick and elderly? The procedures and policies of TSA are in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, I would think, because the elderly and infirm, passengers with wheelchairs, crutches, implants and prosthetics, are singled out every time for the abusive patdown. Why has this issue not surfaces? Am I missing something?

Because they are an army of Amalekites, abusing their power and enjoying the thrill of control over weary travelers.

Deu 25:17-18 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt; 18 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
