Beware of Airport Bodyscanners This Holiday Season

I know Mac, how are we gonna deal with them? I'm happy to undergo any security check that they want so long as I don't get blown to smithereens. What does worry me though is the Big Brotherness of it all, intruding more and more into our daily lives. And they are. BIG STYLE.
Oh and I just love that Southern drawl. I used to go to Krogers for my weekly shop and every time I was almost accosted by people going .. "go on say somethin" :0))

"I just LOVE your accent" is what we often hear to which we respond "And we just love yours!"

And..?

Maybe they'll grab you and throw you on the BBQ?

What about bar codes, are they evil too? Oh and what about coins?
Maybe we should get back to bartering..

And this is probably where your christian belief jumps in, the infamous part of the Book of Revelations. Unfortunately, it already happened in the first century A.D. In the Roman Empire people had to buy with coins that had Nero's face on it. Lake of fire, burning of the city, four horsemen, anti-christ with a wound and fleeing, and coming back again.. and so forth. All of it happened in the Roman Empire.

Well,at least we haven't got concentration camps. I was thinking about the I.D. process. i.e. Micro chip inserted as Inspirit mentioned.
God help us if that day ever comes.
Deepsea.

Actually we do have concentration camps. Look up fusion centers and FEMA internment camps. In a nutshell, fusion centers are the command centers for the corporate communist overthrow of the government, and FEMA camps are concentration camps that are ready and waiting for American patriots who will be rounded up after martial law is declared.

Too bad there is no hope for the American citizen not to mention the rest of the world, they are to satisfied with the pampered lifestyle that it doesn't matter whether they have their freedom or not. As long as our
TV still works and the super market is still open everything is ok.
