So I came across this article today as I was reading
CNN.com. It was regarding someone by the name of James Robinson. One is a decorated Brigadier General and commercial airline pilot, one is 8 years old, and the last is a US Attorney general. Now you ask, what do all these people have in common aside from there name. They are all on the TSA terrorist watch list. Some one who has served our country for at least 20 years and has been certified to carry a weapon in the cockpit to prevent terrorist from hijacking a plane and he is still on the list?? An 8 year old who doesn't even know what a terrorist is again is on the list?? The third one being a US Attorney who served under President Clinton, now that one I can understand (just kidding).
How worthless is our Department of "homeland security" when they are flagging military personal, 8 year old kids (who was just being born as 9/11 was happening) and a US Attorney.
As I've been flying for the last 7+ years I really feel no safer now than I did before the department of "homeland security" was created. All it's doing to the average everyday passenger is making their lives more difficult and sucking more money from the tax payers.
Here is the article in which I rant about
Sad.. so sad..
