I was thinking about all this shit I'm going to have to go through at the airport and it's so unsettling! Why do we have to go through so much security? It started out with taking laptops out of your bag, no liquids or gels, no lighters or pocket knives... All to stop something that has only ever happened once from happening again. Now I can understand that after 9/11/2001, we were worried that someone would PLAN on doing that again. Here we are, though, 9 years later, and we shouldn't be worried about that anymore! Enough is enough!
The reality of the situation is that there are people out there who want to hijack our planes. But there are people out there hijacking our boats everyday and we don't do shit about that. It would be of like... minimal extra cost to put a few soldiers on every boat that crosses past Somalia - I mean we would save millions in ransom dollars and lost time from NOT BEING HELD HOSTAGE. But we don't do that...
Instead the U.S.A. pulls this 1984 shit on us and takes away our possessions, conditions us to submit to random searches, and wastes who knows how much money on full body x-ray scanners and stuff. All the while EVERY SINGLE SMOKER who goes on an airplane has to buy a new lighter in their next stop. Or buy new toothpaste. Or contact lens solution! (Yes I know they sell travel sized, BUT FUCK THAT)
It's been 9 years... The politicians who were making decisions back in the day took our freedom away to protect us, but made zero progress on relieving anti-western sentiments. The TSA should know damn well that patting down my balls isn't going to stop radicals from bombing us. I want my freedom back!

It's also kind of sad that I've gotten my switchblade through security about 4 times in the past week.
Also that one time that they took away my hand sanitizer and not my switchblade.
