TSA mocks Breast Cancer Awareness Month by using pink gloves

Man, I really got, um, “inspired” by some of those comments within the “this related link” comments. So i joined the fray, as follows: “Okay, listen up, all of you full of “wouldda/couldda” types. How do you ever get into a car? (Ever consider you could be hit by a drunk driver? WAY more likely than a terrorist air attack.) How do you ever make a cup of coffee, iron a shirt or turn on your stove? (WAY more people die from household appliances than a terrorist air attack.) Allow me to rain on your little paranoia parades by presenting more facts: if terrorists were numerous enough/smart enough/intent enough, there would have been attacks in domestic unprotected venues (like hotels, clubs, subways, shopping centers, recruiting stations, police stations) that would provide ample opportunity for the media to feast for weeks, and for DC to eagerly spend more and more borrowed money. The security apparatus in the US has a primary goal of bolstering their employees and defense contractors that are clamoring for our collective cash, and very little else. That you buy into this expensive charade really does not speak well to your collective ability to apply dispassionate reason to the last eleven years. To allow a continuing knee-jerk reaction to a tragedy that happened over a decade ago, and one that preys on people with medical assistive devices repeatedly, is nothing short of stupid. Oh, sure… coulda/woulda/shouda….. so don’t leave your houses because a meteor just might come crashing down on you as you walk towards your car. Or a lightning bolt! It’s possible, but very improbable. Just like the improbabilty of a terrorist cornering a senior traveler in a wheelchair and making them into a traveling bomb. Get a freakin’ grip. We need to restore some intelligence into security, and what we’ve got now doesn’t even come close. And all of your pandering to the current regime does not move us to a better place.”
