To be fair, I was told off in 2019 when I started playing with airport security's riot gear...

But how often do you see a bodyshield and club/taser just lying around being neglected???

And I had been patiently (boringly) waiting in line for almost fifteen minuted

I intend to grow up eventually...

Yeah... Only two years after... Y'all had invaded Afghanistan and Iraq... We all felt so much safer....

Still don't quite understand why the loaf of banana bread my mother baked for my friend had to be demolished... Or why I had to fill out a questionnaire on my reasons for traveling through the US.... (apparently if you write: because it's between Canada and Brazil..and suggest airport security might benefit from a geography course or two.. You're being provocative)

My favorite part was when I insisted that a female officer conduct the strip search... And they said that they had no intention of conducting a strip search... And I asked why not, weren't Canadians considered dangerous enough?? Or was it only our banana bread??? They had had enough of me by then.... I was allowed to pass through security and board my flight... 😂😂😂

Consider the following:

"In recent years, for example, the (Supreme) Court has ruled that police officers can use lethal force in car chases without fear of lawsuits; police officers can stop cars based only on “anonymous” tips; Secret Service agents are not accountable for their actions, as long as they’re done in the name of “security”; citizens only have a right to remain silent if they assert it; police have free reign to use drug-sniffing dogs as “search warrants on leashes,” justifying any and all police searches of vehicles stopped on the roadside; police can forcibly take your DNA, whether or not you’ve been convicted of a crime; police can stop, search, question and profile citizens and non-citizens alike; police can subject Americans to virtual strip searches, no matter the “offense”; police can break into homes without a warrant, even if it’s the wrong home; and it’s a crime to not identify yourself when a policeman asks your name.

The cases the Supreme Court refuses to hear, allowing lower court judgments to stand, are almost as critical as the ones they rule on. Some of these cases have delivered devastating blows to the lives and rights enshrined in the Constitution. By remaining silent, the Court has affirmed that: legally owning a firearm is enough to justify a no-knock raid by police; the military can arrest and detain American citizens; students can be subjected to random lockdowns and mass searches at school; and police officers who don’t know their actions violate the law aren’t guilty of breaking the law.

You think you’ve got rights? Think again.

All of those freedoms we cherish—the ones enshrined in the Constitution, the ones that affirm our right to free speech and assembly, due process, privacy, bodily integrity, the right to not have police seize our property without a warrant, or search and detain us without probable cause—amount to nothing when the government and its agents are allowed to disregard those prohibitions on government overreach at will.

This is the grim reality of life in the American police state.

In fact, our so-called rights have been reduced to technicalities in the face of the government’s ongoing power grabs.

In the police state being erected around us, the police can probe, poke, pinch, taser, search, seize, strip and generally manhandle anyone they see fit in almost any circumstance, all with the general blessing of the courts."

And that my friends is the current state of affairs in the "Land of the Free"! https://www.zerohedge.com/political/justice-sleeps-and-we-people-suffer-no-us-supreme-court-will-not-save-us
