THIS INSTRUCTIONAL PHOTO HAS KINDLY BEEN SUPPLIED BY THE AIRPORT SECURITY PERSONNEL AT HEATHROW JUST OUTSIDE LONDON.IT DEPICTS TODAY'S TRANSPORTATION REALITY.
THERE'S BEEN NO WORD ON JUST HOW LONG THIS IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE, ALTHOUGH SUCH MEASURES HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED AS THE LARGEST, MOST ABSURD OVER-REACTION IN GLOBAL HISTORY.
THIS IS, AFTER ALL, THE "WAR ON TERROR."
The Queen of England, George Dubya Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair are in this photo, along with British bloggers Cherry Pie and Vicus Scurra. Can you spot them?
And if any of you have your own similar encounters with tight airport security measures to pass on, please do so. While the strip-search has always existed, this exercise is called the Stripped, Searched, Scramble.
Body cavities are next for these travellers.
scary shit dude...
ReplyDeletemakes me glad i don't have to fly!
Ah, my dear Angel, but you will have to, some day...
ReplyDeleteYikes.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I actually enjoy flying, it really grates my gopher (sorry, was listening to Prairie Home Companion earlier) that things have gotten so paranoiac that you can't even take a bottle of water on an airline flight.
ReplyDeleteIf my company ever expects me to take a flight on business, they can either charter one or go find a pile of sand and a ball peen hammer and pound it firmly up their corporate . . . well, you get the idea.
