New TSA Scanners can see your private parts...OH NO!
Eh...That's what people said when teacher's first started leading kids in the "hide under your desk from the Russians" drills...We survived it, the threat has dissipated, and to the best of my knowledge this isn't happeing anymore.JT wrote:I want my country back!
Look, someone said these things aren't making us safer. Probably the same people saying that the war hasn't made us safer. Maybe it has or hasn't, maybe these security measeures have or haven't. Something (knock on wood) is working...It's not as if the folks who consider us "infidels" have suddenly realized their transgressions.
I was in Florida in April, and a story came on the Orlando news that they had captured a Jamaican native trying to get on a plane back to Jamaica with pipe bomb materials in his carry-on. The ONLY reason he was caught? The relatively new (since 911) profiling program...The profiler on duty who is obviously trained in human behavior/psychology looked at this man and thought he was "acting strange".
I have no issues with that, whatsoever. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear - and you will be laying on the beach with a Painkiller in hand.
What I have a problem with, is the government telling me "Click it or Ticket". If I chose to not wear a seatbelt out of my own stupidity, why should it cost me $40 (as it did last week)...Other than to generate "revenue" for the good old Ultra-Left State of Connecticut. Here, the more government involvement, the higher the taxes, the happier people tend to be. I don't get it.
Yes for me its not only the neighbors... but mainly to reduce drag and friction when we are "snorkling".RickG wrote:We always trim up before hitting the islands.

Looks like I may need a hot bath before getting screened Willie might get stage fright 
We have the belt law here in Ohio too. I wear it but don't want to be told I have to. No helmet law thank goodness. The left still feels I can make the right decision on that. Know it's the smart thing to do but I don't wear one and I thank them for leaving it my choice.
