I just wish to wake the same reactions in the US. Americans have become terrorized little kittens who don't dare anything. They just make their fists in their pockets and wait stoically. Despicable :td:

I want the people to wake up, I want them to organize themselves and combat this madness that is going on at US airports. The ends justify the means in this case.

Air travellers could become a very strong lobby if we took a few minutes of our time to protest. With my action I am just trying for other passengers to stop standing stupidly, I want them to react.

By the way, everybody in the line knows of my actions because I never fail to tell them... and no one reacts... pathetic
