I Don't Think So, Tim!

There is no way in hell I will ever fly again. This is a huge privacy violation! My Dr. has never even seen this much of me! How can anyone agree to this? It's just another one of those stupid security measures that takes away a little bit more of our freedom (from embarrassment this time) just to make everyone feel safe. Did anyone catch the tiny news flash that the "Under ware Bomber" went through an airport that used these machines? No one knows if HE went through one, and there's the problem! The guy was acting strangely throughout the airport, had no luggage on a country to country flight....this was clearly a failing of the personnel, not the security measures.
I'm angry. This country gave away it's freedom for safety. As Thomas Jefferson said:

Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.

I truly believe that 9/11 was a special case. I'm not going to say it will never happen again, but I doubt that something of that magnitude will again. It's not because of the war, or security measures...it's because they blew their wad with that one! Every attempt (that the powers that be let us know about) has been tiny. All of which have been stopped by the people around them. The only thing we need to do to be safe is keep our government under control and in it's place, and be personally vigilant. Pay attention to what's going on around you. Certainly not by showing my naked body to a bunch of airline jerks who will (I promise) find a way to record these images and post them on the Internet. There will be jokes about fat people, and pretty girls will be singled out. Maybe not everywhere, but you know there are a certain group of people in the world that will take advantage.
The world is starting to look more and more like George Orwell's nightmares....

In the middle

Lots of ignorant things going on in my neck of the woods. Not a lot I want to really get into, but I really have been pushed to my limits. I am really trying to stay as professional as possible, but that is an incredibly hard thing to do when you are personally attacked. Especially when your reputation and honor are questioned. I'm so aggravated that this situation has been going on way too long, and also aggravated that people think so much of themselves. Even better when they read your blog and take personal offense, when what you wrote had nothing to do with them in the first place. With my husband in Iraq, and all of my friends in other states, it's hard to find an outlet ( I like to talk something out until I feel better, no one wants to listen that long lol) I don't want to unleash anything here because I'm sure that even as I am careful to not give away too much, what little I am saying is being read, and warped into evil. Frankly, I'm beyond caring. Go ahead and do your worst, because you are only perpetuating the reputation you already have, and not doing yourself a bit of good. At this point, I'd love to never hear from you again. I refer to my favorite quote by Maya Angelou "When people show you who they are, believe them the first time." If I hear one more darn thing, I swear to god, I'm going to show my mean side!
