I feel safer now

Move over H1N1...you are yesterday's drummed up non-crisis,

Move over GW...you are last weeks scam De Jour,

Onwards and upwards, look up, way up in the sky's retread threat that the band is beating to near death, stroking the sheeple fears, manufacturing compliant unquestioning deliverance of rights and acquiescence over what?

Thanks to Mr. "hey baby I have something hot in my pants that will blow you away"  we now all get treated to added inconvenience, layers of bureaucracy, wastage of time, frustration, super duper ex ray vision candid cameras and body searches.

Sweet guys like this, get hauled off in hand cuffs, possibly going to jail for the crime of not staying in their appointed pen.


But do not despair, they are not going to keep the fear of flying, the inconvenience restricted to mere terrorist threats, they have even more urgent fish to fry, Some agency after two complaints, can you count that high? Two complaints, (the report can't even tell us which agency is saving us from ourselves and each other) has decided to save folks from the dreaded "NUT BARS" and have peanut free zones. Whoosh that is a relief now isn't it? AS if it is the responsibility of all others to make it appear as if rainbows and sunshine exists for every living human being regardless of the reality of the matter.

Now  I am one of the last people to say that allergies are not a serious thing, peanuts seem to have the capability to be one of the most severe in reactions. But I ask you: So we make a peanut free area on the plane, if your reaction is so sensitive as to be triggered by parts per billion, how is this even helpful? Are we next going to be putting folks thru a scanner to see if they came into contact with the evil nut in recent history? Will we pulling off folks who have residue on their person? Skin? Does this "feel good and safe" meaningless inconvenience even address the real issue or is it just more window dressing so folks can absolve themselves of their fears and let someone else take care of their problems for them?
