This is strange...
Suddenly, I feel different about the TSA...
I no longer hate them for trampling my dignity and freedoms...
I no longer care that they represent all that is wrong with our country...
I no longer care about removing my shoes, putting my "freedom baggie" in a "victory bin" and sending them through the "protection machine..."
I enjoy being groped by a wannabe sex offender with yesterday's gloves...
I look forward to being told that the Big Book O-Rules doesn't apply to me because of whatever insane reason the screener just thought up...
I cannot wait to be told that my passport is not valid ID because it "isn't a state-issued ID;" (a real states-rights TSO!) my driver's license isn't valid because it's expired on the front and has a renewal sticker on the back; my State of Alaska Employee ID Card isn't valid because it isn't a government-issue...
Something is definitely different. I can't quite place my finger on it. Wait, is that it? Really? It is... It must be! Yes! It is! Ha Ha! Eureka! IT'S THE BADGES!!! HOOORAAAAYYYY!!! The badges have cancelled out everything that was wrong with TSA! They have allowed me to see the light! Edmund S. tapdancing Hawley, I have seen the LIGHT!
