Default Re: Feel that? That\'s what it feels like to get reamed by the TSA

Whelp, I have a few things to say:

1) Impeach G. Dubya. Who honestly believes he knew nothing of the threats before 9/11? I don't for a second. Why not show the American public what was in the daily security briefings leading up to 9/11 (relating to 9/11)? This administration has something to hide from the American pulic, and it's getting away with MURDER.

2) This is just one more tick in the pro column for moving to Canada, forgetting the whole "become an airline pilot" thing, and growing BC Bud. Ooops, I just became a "security risk", well, that just seals the deal now, doesn't it.

3) If G. Dubya is elected for a second term, I'm going to commit a felony so I can be sent to jail (not murder, I don't want to be another one of G. Dubya's execution victims). Inmates soon will have more rights than those of us who have our "FREEDOM". HA!!! What a friggin' joke this country is becoming.

4) He's starting a war that his daddy screwed up so that he can restore his family's "good" name (he's the one who did cocaine, remember). And, if you don't think that's the case, pull up the wool that he and his administration have thrown over your eyes.

5) And, relating directly to this post, are the flight schools/academys going to give you that 10 year background check BEFORE you start paying them? Or are they going to take your money, put you in debt, give you your licenses, and send you off with no hope for a career in which you just paid bookoo bucks to them to earn your ratings? This must be addressed, and soon. Either that, or there must be some recourse for forgiving all or most of your debt for flight training. Let's see, if they deem you a security risk, you can't even fly as a private pilot, so a 100% refund would be in order. Don't you think?

I am honored to have served my country, however, I would be a conscientious objector to this "war".

Okay, I'll get off of my soapbox now.

An extremely disillusioned and disenfranchised American Veteran.
