Just when I thought the world of security couldn't get any more surreal, I was surfing the web and came across a couple of really zany new security requirements.
It's easier to fly into a terrorist nation & back than come visit Disney Land from G.B.! If the DoHS wants to redeem what very little credibility it has left it could profile hi-risk radical Muslim connected nut-cases with loads of entry/exit visa stamps to Afghanistan and Iran & known buddy's who love watching reruns of 9/11 who want to come here to 'shoot photos of all our nuclear plants & military bases, or learn how to land big cargo jets on expired student visas', and stop acting like asses when it comes to the 99.999999% of crystal clean WASP Limey friends I have because I was born there, who just want to come here to spend time with me & dump their money on our cheap made in China Wal-mart junk. U alienate our allies they will surely tell us what to do with our Gestapo-rude screening thugs and nosy background checks into my Brit friend's VERY personal lives & they will stop coming! But we roll out red carpets for Saudi royals when most of the 9/11 hijackers came from that dump! U go figure our loyalties & trust & allies!
Dear anonymous,
In my opinion constitutional liberties are important and that's why I write. The two items discussed in this article both deal with the government's attempt to further control the lives and invade the privacy of individuals. I believe that each generation of Americans has to fight to keep the liberties they inherited. All that is necessary for the disappearance of liberty is for the people who love democracy to remain silent and do nothing. But, anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my article.
I have to agree with Anonymous #2. When I saw the words "surreal," "surfed the web," "zany new security requirements" and "T-shirt wearing public," in the email newsletter, I was certain this would be an Article of Great Import. I am almost as offended by this as I was when I went to the YouTube only to discover the site was full of videos for God's sake! What kind of an internet are you people running here?
I expect a full refund of the price I paid for my free newsletter, or you'll hear from my lawyers!
Incidentally, one thing that either The Daily Show or The Colbert Report (I get them confused, as I also have lawsuits with both shows for refunds after discovering they show FAKE news!) mentioned about the t-shirt issue but was glossed over by this article's author (no doubt some sort of ringleader himself) : the robot on the suspect's shirt was Megatron - a robot who holds a gun AND turns INTO a gun. Not to mention the fact that this probable terrorist had a Decepticon on said shirt - he was obviously up to no good and was rightfully detained.
You're welcome, O'Brien93. I happen to take individual liberty and privacy seriously so whilst I'm glad you think the article was informative I don't happen agree with your opinion that constitutional liberties are bullshit. Thank you for reading my article.

We need to close our borders to all.
We need to fix our own and then we can help others. We need to stop spreading ourselves so thin and trying to be the world police.
No wonder no one likes us. We get involved with Iraq because of the attrocities there. Yet we leave Darfur alone.
BOGUS!
Lead by greed and green, we are.
Thank you for sending me this absolute waste of time.
I thought that there would be something of importance to this article.
What company is this guy from? I need to make sure I don't do business with him...

Now my whole closet of Ralph Lauren is verboten? That Polo mallet being swung in the logo looks mighty threatening...
Thank you, Mr. Raines, for this infomative bullshit article regarding data security.
