What were all those controls for, actually??

Last time I flew (2 weeks ago), when I arrived at SQC airport a nice poster said: "scanners can see what you can't!! Congrats: 50 years of Europe Federation of Customs. " There stayed the shadow of a bomb behind suitcases and other airport-stuff. Great!! Scanners see what I can't... shit... then why do I need to take my shoes off each time before walking into the plane??

The jest goes further, when Europe Union --without any authority (they didn't ask me and they aren't even my government!!)-- comes to a deal with the US government to share private data of the passengers! To share information which even within the Europe Union was absolutely forbidden for an airline to share with anyone but the passenger her/himself. Shit! But great! We are free from the threat of international terrorism!!

Wait a... what the hell??? Today a guy tried to blow up an airplane in Detroit? How was it possible?? To go through all those controls... maybe he was a citizen who suddenly became crazy, and thus there's no criminal record which would hold back his travel... or... no, shit... he was not!! This guy is related to Al-Qaeda and his name appears in the lists of many terrorist organizations, says FBI... shit!! What the... Maybe US government should come to a kind of deal with those terrorist organizations so that they would kindly share the names and sexual orientations of the terrorists they have available... as well as they do with the dangerous European citizens...

Eh, you guy!! Wake up! Those controls and deals between EU ad US were not to prevent international terrorism... They just wanted to hinder our freedom... Kid! Kid! You there yet?
