Another TSA crime: Word disfiguration

We read:
"We must go through porno scanners and be groped because of a single attempted underwear bomb that failed. These were the thoughts passing through my mind as I gathered up my belongings in Orlando, sans my daughter’s buffalo, when I spotted a stand with a stack of TSA Customer Comment Cards that cheerfully stated that the agency wants you to 'Help us improve our customer service by completing and returning this card to a TSA drop box, to a TSA supervisor or by mail.'

CUSTOMER! This is a complete disfiguration of the word customer, which, as Orwell taught, is a grave crime when put to the service of state power."

The TSA was invented for only one reason, and that is, to keep the masses of sheep in this country quiet. To create the "illusion" that you are safe. You are not! As anyone who has any experience in dealing with terrorism knows, "there is no defense against terrorism"! In fact, the only thing that does help is a very strong response to any terrorist attack.

The world knows that America has the power, but they also know that America lacks the will to use it. It is this display of weakness that begets more aggression.

One can hunt down a lion or gater, but a swarm of hornets is harder to deal with, and virulent germs are even harder. Terrorists are not national armies to pit one's own against, but undercover agents and saboteurs, so only counter- espionage can be used, which doesn't require nuclear weapons or a huge military.

Would you prefer 'client' or, perhaps 'victim'???

What have we learned in 2,064 years ??



"The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled,

public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be

tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should

be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to

work instead of living on public assistance."

Cicero - 55 BC

You have learned that the USA is doomed and is yet another world power that's going down the drain of history.
