The next thing we know they will be passing out diapers to pax because with their next weapon we will need it. There will be a warning posted when tickets are purchased not to eat anything before the flight in case they pick you for use with it.

The next thing we know they will be taking all those who don't pass their behaviour test into a room with only a lightbulb swinging from the ceiling. If you don't answer correctly, they will stick bamboo shoots under your nails. All the peole questioning you will look like Hitler. Maybe, chinese water torture if things get really rough.

So, in other words, nothing will change much from the current procedures, yes?

So by 2010, DHS will have taken over both the National Guard and all the nation's police forces ? Hmmm, I must have missed that bill

Well, DHS does give grants to local law enforcement for fatherland security programs. This may be one of those federally funded programs.

Why would it need to?

If I need this tool to take down a blind person I need to find another line of work.

I vomited on a TSO once. It didn't feel good at first, but the reaction was worth the moment of agony.
