Air Authority Seeks To Screen Behaviour

The real terrorists then, like Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Perle, Rumsfeld, Rice and now Harper, MacKay, Graham, Martin, when and if travelling peasant class should be picked up by this technique.

Give me back the days when we all just traveled with the trust that you would get from A to B safely and that if your number is called up then you're going no matter what the circumstances are that collect you. Some people survive plane crashes. Many people survive when they never should while other die in the most freakish accidents.

I want to know that when I do go I had a life that was LIVED, not a life that was spent fightin and resenting an invasive bunch of bastards that tried to keep us from living for their freakshow of an agenda.

CATSA and more specifically some of the contractors who do the actual screening are utterly incompetent.

Example - a friend of mine worked as an airport screener for about two years. He wanted a career change, found a new job, called his old employer to say that he would be resigning his position. Easy enough...

Well not for the contractor in question - it took them three weeks to figure out that an employee was not showing up for work, and thus saw fit to 'terminate' his employment by letter. They never once called, or otherwise tried to find out about this person. Which considering he is carrying valid airport ID and access cards, should be a high priority.

So if they cannot even track their own employees how do we expect them to track anything else? This is but one example of the security or should I say lack of security at our airports. My time at Van. Int airport after Sept 11 was a real eye-opener.

Oh and happy flying.

If there was ever a time for Canadians to become pushy - now is the time - for time is running out on this nation called Canada.

I'm becoming convinced that there is no security only people trying to convince us there IS security. It's all a whitewash for incompetence or programs that will never work, were never intended to work, and sold as something they are not. It's the "IT DOESN'T WORK" balistic missile defence at every level. It's all bullshit people. The government is incompetent, our military is incompetent, airport security, bla, bla, bla.... But those buying the crap are very good and competent at scaring everyone into thinking they are being secured.

And, the USA, like Russia was/is, is a paper tiger. Whatever might they had was spent long ago.

I'm so glad that I don't have to fly all of the time anymore. The terrorism doesn't scare me, but the new "security measures" would about drive me scooters.

Oh Canada, no longer glorious, nor free.
