As usual, I flew on a commercial airline Saturday. I had to stand in a long line, do a mini strip tease, empty my pockets and be checked several times for identity and metal.
Two black men* (Republicans can never be blacks or women... think Justice Thomas and Sec'ty Rice) have decided (without consulting Congress) that the reason I (and tens of thousands of other Americans, today) was standing in line and searched was because of a criminal act.
Apparently 24 (19 died and 5 are being tried) criminals crashed four passenger filled commercial airlines into buildings and the ground for criminal reasons. For criminal reasons, that were not monetary, they murdered 3,000 anonymous humans. One other criminal brought chemicals in his shoes on-board an airline so we have to all remove our shoes and have them checked in x-ray machines.
How can that make sense? How was that behavior criminal?
Other criminals have all sorts of behaviors but few have led the government to pass laws that forced tens of millions of Americans to stand in long lines and be searched and have created millions of wasted man hours. These 24 unique criminals apparently created this.
If airline searches were really caused by criminal behavior then we Americans who stand in long airport search lines should be able to sue these twenty four men and their families for our lost time.
