Color Me More Respectful

For the "cast" of the TSA's Security Theater.

The TSA Airport screeners have a new uniforms as of September 11, 2008. Check 'em out.

Look'n so fly on the front lines of our war on terror. I feel safer already.

I'm actually flying this coming week. Maybe I'll see the new duds up close and personal. Yipes, not too close, not too personal "officer."

HT: The Advice Godless Good post.

Update: Well, low and behold, trawling some of my favorite sites, I find this in a new column from Fred Reed:

"In the airports, the same obedience training—take off your shoes, belt, watch, fillings, prostate, so we can to learn to respect the authority of low-IQ federalized renta-cops with the psyches of school-yard bullies. God save us from the congenitally unimportant. From PA systems came the same pointless security-babble having nothing to do with security, in the same over elocuted I-wanna-lick-the-microphone female voices. Well, it’s not quite pointless. We must condition the rubes, give them an inspiriting sense of danger so they will do as they are told."

He's got lots to say in this column about our current situations, mostly our sorry choice of candidates for the highest office in the land. Fred is not friendly to any.
