Indeed. I would not be surprised if these are test cases to see if the public will accept them.

“A polite Nazi SS officer is STILL a Nazi SS officer... they ALL need to go!”

I completely agree. I’m just pointing out how their procedures differ when it suits them. It’s all Kabuki Theater.

I hope they don’t mind that due to carpal tunnel and also nerve and tendon impingment in my elbos and shoulders that when I have to ‘Freeze’ and stay still my medical conditions tend to cause the middle finger of both hands to involuntarily ‘freeze’ in the extended position.

“The Feds are a bigger threat to these United States than any group of 7th century ragheads”

Here’s the deal. At every moment in time, between about 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., tens of thousands of Americans are standing helpless, having been relieved of their IDs, money, credit cards, cell phones, computers, keys, coats, and shoes. They only have the clothes on their backs and are clutching boarding passes. That’s it.

They’re at the total mercy of US Federales with double-digit IQs on power trips with histories of theft and abuse.

The process could be as short as 30 seconds. For some who are pulled aside for shakedowns, it’s longer. I’m always pulled aside because of an artificial joint and have waited as long as 15 minutes for a female (probably lesbian) agent to appear and feel me up. Being separated from your important “stuff” is a scary, vulnerable feeling.

I watched a Documentary the other day called Zeitgeist

Now parts of it are waaaaay out there but some of it is very alarming especially when it gets around to talking about controlling the public and funneling them into behavior by means of constant fear. (Terrorist, global warming. financial collapse, etc.)
