Airport Security - corporate espionage or plain bad luck?

Posted on | January 2, 2010 |

Ok, so I haven’t posted anything for a while. Yes, I have been traveling and I have been generally uninspired to write anything because it’s been pretty much the same innocuous stuff that happens every day out there in the land of travel. However, the events of the past couple of days in ‘travel land’ have incensed me enough to actually write as I begin my new years travel bright and early on the 1^st of January. It’s about the conspiracy, corporate espionage, that is taking place in the airports as we speak and it’s all because one jerkoff tried to blow himself up and a plane full of people.

Yes, traveling and airport security is all screwed up again because of this idiot. Imagine, no blankets on your lap. Well, they better make the plane temperature pretty darn comfortable for passengers. Can we still use our jackets and sweaters as pillows or will those horseshoe shaped neck pillows be banned too?

What is going to happen when some poor soul can’t hold their bladder anymore or make it to the restroom before lockdown occurs? Won’t that be a pretty sight. I would only hope a lawsuit ensues for the unfairness, unreasonableness and lack of thoughtfulness of it all. There already is a long wait on some flights to use the lavatory and of course federal regulations prohibit the waiting in line to use the restroom. Perhaps a numbering system like the one that is used at the deli counter in our local grocery store would suffice.

Ahh then, back to the conspiracy theory of corporate espionage that I have surmised about this event. It is my belief that someone paid someone that paid someone that paid someone to get this guy to believe th

at he would be doing a good thing by blowing himself and a plane full of US bound passengers to sithereens.

If you noticed, right after the event took place a whole slew of articles came out in the media about how the new x-ray machines that are currently only installed in a handful of airports could have prevented this ridiculous event from taking place.

Well, duh! Now the manufacturers have a reason to get these machines installed in every airport around the globe. After all, they are the only ones with this new technology device. Go figure, a company creating a security scare that causes agencies around the world rush to purchase their fancy and new albeit slow moving product. What luck and great fortune they have “stumbled” upon. Sound like corporate espionage, or what?!

Who pays for all of this technology and inconvenience at security, the traveling public? Did anyone check to see if our former american vice president has stock in the company that makes or sells the new x-ray machine for passenger screening? I’d be willing to bet that somewhere in the great food chain of airport and passenger security therein begets a stupid and dangerous yet carefully planned plot whose only purpose is to line their coffers with scared money from the taxpayers around the world. I wish that I had thought it up, I could use a little extra cash.
