Only a few more steps to the totalitarian regime.

A clarification was issued today - videocameras, digital cameras, laptops, portable video games and MP3 players and cellphones must now all be in checked luggage. Better still, all the insurance companies have rapidly issues ammendments to their policies saying they won't cover anything lost or damaged in hold luggage now. Better yet, the airlines are forcing passengers to pay excess baggage for all the extra stuff put in the hold AND they're not guaranteeing it will get there on the same flight as you.
I'm sorry but this is absolute bollocks. This is clearly not about a terror threat or anything like it. This is a scheme for someone to make money. Either by forcing passengers to pay excess for hold luggage, or to attempt to speedup turnaround on the ground by preventing any carryons. The more I read about this, the less I'm convinced that this is anything other than a device to strip travellers of the few remaining dignities and rights that they had. I believe the TSA and the UK and US governments have only one agenda here, and that is to kill the airlines at any cost.
I mean what are we expected to do on a 10 hour transatlantic flight to England? Pick our arses? If we can't have carryon luggage, are we expected to carry our books, magazines, passports, tickets, baby formula, nappies, kids clothes, mints, packets of crisps and everything else by hand? Nobody is going to do that - they're just going to stop flying. People don't like being treated like Nazi prisoners of war.

Why does the TSA hate America? They've done exactly what these goons wanted - they've caused terror and panic and put in place such retardedly draconian measures that all air transport in the US is disrupted.
AND NOTHING HAPPENED!
How any American can look at this and still believe that Bush is any way a decent human being? The man is an insane criminal! Bush, the republicans, the TSA and the Department of Homeland Insecurity have beaten everyone into submission so much that the average American is now afraid of their own shadow.
The news stations keep interviewing people at the airports and we keep seeing responses like "Oh I feel much safer and I don't mind the hassle if it makes me safe in the air."
Brainwashed. The lot of them. Panicky little sheep who can't think for themselves any more. Is this the future of America? Waves of brain-dead zombies being controlled by the media and ultimately the government. Yeah. Land of the free.

Göring: "Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."
Gilbert: "There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."
Göring: "Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
