Shortly after the “terrorism” inspired nonsense at airports was implemented, I figured it couldn’t last long. As stupid and irrational as people are, lots<\/strong> of people fly.

I was wrong. Seven years and counting, and this idiocy<\/a> shows no signs of going away.<\/p>\n

Does anyone believe that a nail file or a Medal Of Honor<\/a> is a danger to the safety of an airplane? I will say this: if the safety of an airplane is endangered by a nail file or a bottle of marinara sauce, then there is something seriously wrong on that plane, and it doesn’t have anything to do with nail files or marinara sauce.<\/p>\n

Even the people<\/a> who created this farce know it’s a farce<\/a>. So why are we still tolerating it? Is “security” the opiate of the masses<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Or have we become such base cowards that we cringe at the thought of someone carrying a nail file?<\/p>\n
