The Man Just Wants to Keep His Shoes On: SECURITY UPDATE BY Raj

SECURITY UPDATE:

Hello MOLs, MODs, MYLs (Mean Young Ladies) and FOMs, my name is Raj and I report to you with shameful eggs upon my face.

I am (or possibly now in the past tense, was) Chief Technical Support for MOTUS, TOTUS and, in my spare time, Dewey From Detroit. This post was caught in an ether wormhole on it’s intended warp speed path to Dewey From Detroit’s blog, and resulted in its appearance, without expectation or explanation, here on MOTUS’ blog. I am shamed and perhaps soon will be doing my part, along with Juan Williams to increase Obama’s historic unemployment rate.

Please to enjoy Dewey From Detroit’s post, here on MOTUS’ blog.

Humbly and Shamed,

Raj

This man is my newest hero: “Pilot Refuses Full-body Scan, Says TSA Doesn’t Make Travel Safer.”

Finally, someone who dares speak the truth. Our multi-billion dollar “screening” program at airports is a sham. Wow! Who’d of thunk?

I wish we could clone this ExpressJet Airlines first officer, Michael Roberts, and send the clones to Washington to replace the clowns that currently inhabit the halls of Congress.

…Roberts told The Commercial Appeal newspaper he wants to go to work and not be “harassed or molested without cause.” adding that he believes “TSA (is) a “make-work” program that doesn’t make travel safer.”

This is really a no-brainer. the TSA boarding procedures make about as much sense as taking guns away from law-abiding citizens. Yes, that’s right, just like you’ve heard: then only the bad guys have guns. Really, how hard is this stuff, people? Do you want to shuffle  through airports without your shoes for the rest of your natural life? This is not exactly forward progress.

So, a salute to First Officer Roberts. He’ll probably get fired, but finally - someone with the chutzpah to reveal the truth about the Emperor’s new clothes. It’s a start.

Let’s send him over to the White House next.
