I never said it has to be "sinister", but I have lots of things that I don't want people to see. That's why I use envelopes, close my blinds at night, and used brick instead of glass to construct my house. I also carry bags that aren't made of see-through plastic.
I've spent a lot of time over the last 20-odd years going through airport security in many countries. Never had a problem or resented it.
Well, that's private property. I think it's a pain, but I put up with it when I have to. But, it's against the constitution to search people at random on public property. At least it used to be. At some point in history. I happen to like the Bill of Rights. Don't you?
I totally agree.
I really would like for travel to
be like it used to! Walk into an
airport, walk out onto the tarmack
and get on the plane.
But we can no longer do that. Maybe
in a hundred years from now it will
be like that again. IF they can get
the terrorists under control. Who
knows? Maybe in a hundred years,
they will have done so. And people
at that time will say things like,
"Remember when everyone was searched
before getting on planes, subways,
etc."
I hope it will happen for the sake of
mine & everyones descendants.
