US border officials get into fashion
I hate to fly at the best of times and, since September 11, 2001, I have absolutely loathed it due to the many inconsistent and seemingly useless security safeguards which have been introduced. In between taking off shoes, taking out laptops, and putting liquids into a baggie for no discernible reason, I fly only when I absolutely must.
Indeed, my wife will be flying alone to San Francisco in a few weeks, leaving me with all three kids, in large part because I loathe the idea of attempting to get the family on and off of airplanes without going postal on someone. That, combined with bright moves like the luggage surcharge, has turned a once unpleasant experience into
So now US officials are excited about the ultimate disincentive to fly - an electronic bracelet which allows the powers that be to, quite literally, shock passengers into submission. According to this article from the Washington Post, the US government is seriously interested in this thing as a standard means of controlling air passengers. It’s a frightening road we’re going down here folks, and one which may well return us all to the days of walking where we need to go.
I know I won’t be wearing one of those any more than I have to.
