[1835 - Samuel Langhorne Clemens, ( Mark Twain), born in Florida, Missouri]

Strip and Spread 'Em, Grandma!

Folks complain about the overzealous Airport Gestapo who have taken to disrobing, patting down and groping travelers whose only offense is trying to get on a regularly scheduled airline flight. When they get to the point where they are subjecting your grandma to a full body cavity search before she can get on the bus to ride downtown to the senior center, we will know that this country is no longer fit for a free people to live in. Before it goes that far, we will surely have conceded victory in the so called "War on Terror" to Osama Bin Laden, because he will have succeeded in converting this formerly free nation into a totalitarian state. One sure hopes that we are not too far down that path already.

William's Whimsical Words:

We might tolerate these assaults on our persons and our dignity if it made us any safer, but it hasn't.
