**Posted when I got home.
I’m hot……mad as hell. I just got through airport security here in Indy. WHAT MORONS!!!! They are on major power trips. I had talked to my husband a few hours ago and he went through the same thing in Ohio.
Let me start at the beginning. I’m wearing flip-flops, not enclosed shoes where I can hide anything……..they are cheap walmart ones that I got cuz I liked the color and the beads, plain and simple. Well, I know my rights and I know the rules. You do not have to take off your shoes when they are that open and don’t set off the metal detectors. But because I stood up to them and refused to remove them I had to go through a pat down and delay. You know what I don’t care. I know my rights and I’ll go through the pat down and give them more work. Hell, I’ll take off my shirt right there………I don’t care. I was making a point.
They didn’t have me take off my shoes in Orlando and those were tennis shoes, more reason to have me remove them. Plus Orlando is one that gets a hell lot more passenger and more international people then Dayton or Indy.
Well, I wasn’t exactly quiet about their power trip. In fact, I asked one of these girls “This is a power trip for you, isn’t it?†She turned away, but I can tell that she wanted to say something. I didn’t push it, but I wasn’t being quiet about it and I wanted others to see it.
I told them, I know I’m not required to take off my shoes and that is was all over the news a few months ago. They didn’t like that. I told them that I feel like I’m living in Hitler Germany. A few other passengers went by when I was gathering my stuff and said “we’re proud of youâ€.
I understand security, never understood why we hadn’t secure our airports before Sept. 11 like other countries do. But do not try and push me around when I know my rights in the name of security. You can thank Bush for the Gestapo state we are in…….and don’t forget 5 deferments Cheney & draft dodger Rove. Once you start removing rights and excepting their removal in the name of security, you no longer deserve to have those rights.
Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave and demanding that we over throw the government right now. Jefferson believed that we should have a revolution every 20-30 yrs to keep the tyrants out. It looks like we are over due because they have taken root.
Maybe you should study history and learn what our founding fathers fought for.
