“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!” – Samuel Adams

Air Travelers Now Travel ConAir 2010

By on November 18th, 2010

The way TSA is now treating air travelers like criminal suspects is wrong, but as Americans we do need a laugh or two as we deal with our oppressive government.

The folks at ReasonTV have put together an illustrative and humorous clip using some modern-day real life security inspection footage, plus some footage from the Nicholas Cage movie “ConAir.” (I just caught part of this movie while channel-surfing last night)

The way things are going, this is too close to the truth!

This holiday season, we’re all convicts.

    As a lady wrote in the Fort Worth paper ‘ You know something is wrong when there is more groping going on in an airport security line, than in your own bedroom ‘.
