So there's big changes going on round here.... my crazy mother-in-law is moving in because she didn't plan at all for her future and it is either she moves in here or she ends up on the streets.

1100 miles Toledo to Disneyworld. Drove it 3 times.
900 miles Toledo to Hot Springs, Arkansas, via Memphis. Drove it.
Niagara Falls. Topsail Island, NC. More trips than I can remember. Flying would have been a lot faster, but I wasn't forced.
Money volunteered to airport TSA to violate my rights: zero.

The difference is if you don't drive 1100 miles to Disneyworld to see it, Disneyworld won't come to see you later on the in year to balance shit out. Sure as hell ain't Disneyworld coming to see me, either.

TSA says...
That's funny. Neither am I, but I still have to go through all your security bullshit, you spineless, worthless, liberty-violating, diseased pustules of human beings.
Suck a dick. So potential threats warrant wiretaps and other illegal monitoring, but working for the TSA is fine. Fucking retards.
The Transportation Security Administration says none of the 73 airport workers found to have unspecified ties to terrorism is actually a suspected terrorist or threat to aviation security.

... the airport workers had terrorism-related activity codes associated with their names in a government terrorism database, and called them a "potential transportation security threat."

Kept shoes on, laptop in bag, liquids inside, etc. just the old fashioned metal detector, the end.
Dear god, man, they didn't search everyone's shoes and you made it out alive?!?! Living fucking dangerously. I'm waiting for the first terrorist to hide a bomb in his ass so all the TSA douchebags have to check there as well.
