TSA Again...and again
TSA Again: Let's hope this stays south of the border....http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?Cont ... 9760696f80&
Re: TSA Again...and again
I think the USA is replacing the Soviet Union with itself.
Will Canada become the new East Germany?
What is this fight for FREEDOM we keep being told about, really about?
I am sad and very very worried about what I see as we are all to be more and more controlled and everyone comes under suspicion.
I myself have twice been singled out at SeaTac for a special search... I have never gone out to commit any crime in this life, I always try to obey the law, yet as being British, with no religious affiliation, I get singled out.
I learn about other countries... Japan where I know a woman born there, her parents born there, her grand parents Korean so she has to be Korean though she doesn't speak the language or know the culture. How acceptable to Canadian sensibilities is that?
But then Canada deported Japanese born in Canada to a country they did not know, after the war, so all FREE countries are capable of draconian measures in the name of SECURITY.
Holland where a Belgian woman married a Dutchman and forever after will have to report her movements to the Dutch police!
Belgium where a friend was born but whose parents registered him as German, same thing, grew up and educated in Belgium the place of his birth but forever having to report his movements to the Belgian police.
What was World War II fought for? Was it FREEDOM?
I myself have to go through the long wait for a PR Card renewal... Canada needs to track my every movement.
I'm going to miss the nice people I have met in the USA, and I will fondly remember my trips into that country. I feel that the cost of entry into the USA will be prohibitive in the future I see Nazi/STASI/KGB style government agencies slowly throttling the land of the FREE as foreigners such as myself are excluded under false suspicion.
The 9-11 attacks could not have been more successful for the Islamist terrorists.
Are we entering another terrible dark age?

No Michael we have arrived.Are we entering another terrible dark age?
The most difficult thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
After over a half a century of flying I can not remember even one trip that I refused to do that resulted in someone getting killed because of my decision not to fly.

Re: TSA Again...and again
Does anyone here know anyone that is even remotely afraid of terrorism happening in North America?
I don't know anyone that gives half a shit about terrorism.
So why are we "fighting" it? The politicians have no mandate to do it.

Re: TSA Again...and again
The great thing about 'The War on Terror' is that it can go on forever. There's alot of money to be made, and people to be killed. There's lot's of terrorists too, all of us. It's like the witch-hunt back in the day. All you have to do is point and yell "terrorist" and you got no rights, no f.ck all. Welcome!
Here are a few videos in case you haven't seen them. They're all long, but worth the watch. Grab a beer, relax and open your mind. Perhaps not ALL the informations is true, but it's 'truer' than what we're being fed today by mainstream media.

Michael, I agree with most of what you said above except for the following :MichaelP wrote:I

?
1- The PR card was long due I believe.....way too many people have abused the immigration system in the past. Do you know how many people walked away with a Canadian citizenship without spending a single year, or working a single month here in Canada. can't do that no more........I would hope so anyway.
Re: TSA Again...and again
As an aside; I've actually inspected Vanguard bits as well as other Vickers/BAC/Avro/DH/HS/Hunting Percival aircraft assemblies as part of my job at Brooklands a few years ago.... It kept me in flying money
Hunting had a twin jet the 1-11.
de Havilland had the DH 146 etc
