Dear Mr. Chertoff:
You should be ashamed of yourself for shilling for a technology that has not been tested enough to prove its safety and that is so extremely invasive. I can only hope that you suffer through the humiliation and indignity of being screened while being doused with radiation on a regular basis as well. If I had to guess, though, you and most of your lobbyist buddies and fear mongers make enough money from your selling out the Fourth Amendment that you fly privately on a regular basis.
Thanks for profiting off your illustrious position as the head of the ultra-fascist DHS. I recently returned from serving in the US Army in Kuwait but I cannot say I am proud to have served a country that no longer values our fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution. I am fairly certain that Patrick Henry did not utter “Give me a false-sense of security or give me death!”
Sincerely,
Eric S. Morris
Eric says that Mr. Chertoff has not responded and:
His email address can be found here: http://www.cov.com/mchertoff/, you can make comments to his Chertoff Group here (http://chertoffgroup.com/cgroup/contact-us/), and you can even comment on Rapiscan’s website here: http://www.rapiscansystems. com/worldwideservices/ onlinetechnicalsupport.aspx.
God bless you, Eric Morris! I sincerely hope that you are no longer on active duty in the Imperial Legions, although soldiers like you are needed now more than ever if there is to be any hope of restoring the military to its proper Constitutional role.
ReplyDeleteBTW, to Eric and anyone else reading or contributing to this blog who would email thugs like Chertoff who are members of the Ruling Class, a word of caution: These criminal animals do not take criticism kindly and are not above abusing their positions and influence to have the forces of the Gestapo track down and persecute dissidents.
From Eric: In the words of the despicable draft manipulating coward GW Bush: "Bring 'em on!"
ReplyDeleteI am in total agreement with these posts. I don't care about the scanner (read as: I don't have much to live for), but I just don't like how they put an overwhelming amount of mental midgets in a position of authority, backed by the US government, for the purpose of committing acts of tyranny against the general middle to upper class citizenry (read as: flying public).
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of these things need to be quantified before they are put into action. How much time, money, and energy has been put into building the TSA into what it is today?
Marginal time people have had to spend in line at airports, getting to airports early, and leaving airports later than need be
+
All of the people that needed to be hired (and paid for 9 years, with benefits and pensions if they have them)
+
Airports that needed to be upgraded and/or retro-fitted (PHX 3 times that I know of)
+
Scanners and technology that needed to be purchased (probably above retail)
+
Managing directors to train all of these buffoons, write ridiculous manuals, figure out that 3 oz. of liquid is ok, but 3.4 oz. is enough to blow up an airport/airplane, and that the rubbing of genitals, breasts, and buttocks of non-conformists keeps us safe against Islamo-fascist terrorists.
When you add that up, it is a sickening dollar amount. That also doesn't include the cost of ziplocs, shoe/foot covers, and delays of airplanes. But it probably made the Glad company happy that they could get that all important contract with the government for their baggies.
Counter-point, if you get rid of the TSA (if it were even possible), you would cause a massive amount of drain on the economy, since each and every single one of them lacks the skills to do anything valuable, and would get unemployment for the maximum amount of time allowable by law (and would be extended 5 times by Congress). Then they would turn to something to get money, such as crime. The gov't would defend them, saying that they are allowed to break the laws, and the flying public is the culprit, even though they just wanted to get from Indianapolis to Salt Lake without getting a taco handshake from the Big Mac-grease laden hands of the typical TSA agent. The unemployment rate would increase drastically, and we would be worse off than we are now.
So what do we do? Nothing....just like government wants.
