AND WHO WAS THAT TAKING OFF HIS SHOES AT THE AIRPORT CHECKPOINT?

It’s Tuesday, May 29th. The time is about 6:00 p.m. The place – the screening station at MCO – Orlando International Airport. And just who is that man standing back there with his arms outstretched? Who is that man being patted down? Who is that man taking his shoes off? Why, it’s the Governor? The president’s brother! Yup! The wonderful screeners at Orlando were giving the full treatment to Governor Jeb Bush!

So --- there you go. Any security screening system that would submit the Governor of a State, the president’s brother, to the full search is clearly and obviously broken.

It’s all for show. As that Israeli expert said, we are looking for weapons while we should be looking for terrorists. If the security effort was focused on finding PEOPLE who are threats instead of nose-hair scissors we would all be a lot safer.

Oh --- another one for you. This one from SFO – San Francisco International. Greg Miller received an injury to his jaw. As a result his jaw was wired shut. There is one real big problem with having your jaw wired shut. What if you need to barf? What if you blow lunch? Simple --- you would choke to death. You would die. Drown in your own vomit. The solution? Wire clippers. You carry a small pair of wire clippers with you wherever you go. So, that’s what Greg Miller did. He carried wire clippers. His wire clippers had a sticker on them from his local airport stating that the clippers were a medical necessity.

So … Greg Miller arrives at the San Francisco airport. The security screener won’t let him through. Not with those wire clippers. Miller tries to explain. The screener won’t let him through. Miller tries to get help from the American Airlines official on duty. The American Airlines hack was “too busy” just then to help Miller. Finally Miller gave up the clippers and got on the airplane. The flight attendants told him that they had nothing they could use to pry his jaws apart should he (a) have to sit next to a fleshy flier in a tank top, or (b) run into turbulence thus causing nausea and an episode of vomiting. He did make it home to College Station, Texas OK. He might even be listening now on WTAW. American Airlines says they’ll look into it.

OH … I almost forgot. How did Greg Miller hurt his jaw? He was shot. Shot by a sniper. Shot by a Taliban sniper. Shot near Kandahar. He was shot fighting the war on terrorism.

Again --- concentrating on the weapon instead of the person.

What idiocy!
