Weekly Rant # 10

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SICK AND TIRED OF??? AIRPORT SECURITY!!!  Now this has been something that has been bugging me for a while, and now it's time to take action.  I understand that we have to keep our people safe from terrorism attacks, but airport security is insane.  First of all, let's talk about the people who run the security checks.  I wouldn't trust these idiots to protect a Wal-Mart much less an airport.  They are either 177 years old or they look and act like an escaped mental patient.  How are we giving these "people" power?  Also, what about me screams terrorist?  I know that we live in a society where we cannot profile people, but come on...me???  Let's take a look at the shoe bomber:

What about this guy doesn't scream terrorist???  He has a crazy terrorist beard, crazy terrorist eyes, and oh yeah he tried to blow himself up by lighting his shoe on fire.  How does this guy not get stopped and I ALWAYS get the "random check"?  On that note, what kind of an asshole tries to blow up his shoe, thanks to him I now have to remove my shoes every time I go through security.  Thats BS!!!  There has been one failed attempt to blowing up a shoe, and now that is our biggest concern?  Finally the list of things that can be brought on to an airplane I think is now around 5 things.  Everything else is now banned, shampoo, finger nail clippers, shoe bombs...I mean we are losing all of our freedoms here.  Remember the days when you could smoke on planes???  Well I don't but some of you might, now if someone pulls out a lighter, they will have a sky marshall foot so far up their ass, that they could untie his shoes with their tongue.  Now I understand that terrorism is a real threat and I am happy that I am being kept safe, but I guarantee that Old Man Rivers working the XRAY machine is not the one keeping my plane from blowing up.  Keep me safe, but let me keep my bottle of water on the plane because, I'M SICK OF IT!!!!
