PSA: Airport security is a joke
Rants September 23rd. 2008, 9:40pmRant incoming! We’ve heard it all before, everyone’s got their own story. Well, here’s mine. Had to fly up to Allentown, PA this past weekend for my cousin Laith’s wedding (congratulations!). It was beautiful up there, a beautiful wedding as well. Anyhow, the airport — Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL). The usual get in, get passed security and find your gate so you can sit down and analyze all the people around you. You know, look out for the fat people, the babies, the people who look like hobos, etc. and keep your fingers crossed.
Moving right along to the security checkpoint — I toss my keys, belt, shoes in a bucket and put my carry-on through the conveyor and walk through the metal detector. Guy has this super serious look, “What’s that bulge in your pocket??” “It’s my sunglasses.” “Put them in a bucket.” “Okay, but they’re plastic..” (obviously) “Put them in the bucket.” I comply since I don’t want to be gunned down by some fool who has a superiority complex. I decide to toss my wallet in the bucket with my glasses since I don’t need another comment about a bulge in my pants (giggity). So I grab my stuff and get a lecture afterwords on how I should have put my wallet in my bag and not left it sitting out there, whatever, just let me get to my damn gate already.
Keep in mind my keys and wallet were the only thing in a bucket/container. The next morning I wake up and think, weird, I don’t remember taking my pocket-knife off my keychain. Crap! Lo and behold I see my serrated blade pocket-knife on my keys. Okay, all the fuss about seeing if I can keep my Mach3 in my carry-on bag, all the fuss about buying bottles for stupid liquids, all the fuss at security over nonsense. And a knife goes through unquestioned even though it was practically by itself. A knife more dangerous than what they used on 9/11. I guess as long as I can’t kill more than one person in one shot it’s not important enough. You know, between the administration and this stupid government we have in power, the fear mongering, taking our rights and freedoms for false security. I’m really almost not surprised. Almost. All I can do is sigh… TSA: go fuck yourselves. You’re a god damn joke.
