Let's Give Them Something to Rant About!

Today I traveled from Kansas City to Los Angeles for a work project job visit. Not only was my departure delayed by 4.5 hours, I had to perform that cattle like activity all airline passengers mus t perform these days...be herded through the security scam, by the cowboys branded with TSI.

It is not only the reduction in dignity of which all passengers are subjected, but the concept of an organization composed of lower functioning people being given complete authority to treat others in any manner they choose, without accepting any responsibility for their individual actions. History has taught that when even pure, talented, high ethics individuals are allowed to exercise complete authority with no corresponding responsibility, moral disasters are only a short time away. People or organizations that are less than pure fall into the same abuse of power, just in a shorter amount of time.

The issue that really concerns me is that TSI has no oversight by another agency. They set the rules. They do not have to answer for their words nor actions. No person or organization has the power to exercise control over this potentially very powerful organization. And the organization is generally staffed by people who can't find other work! Very, very scary......

And we citizens of the world just chew our cud, silently and contentedly comply (okay, sometimes we grumble a little but we still comply), and let our human rights slip a little closer to a very dangerous chasm of complete loss of freedoms...

Have I succumbed to fad, or is this truly a trend?

Well, here is my initial post. In my first ever blog. I do not intend to post to this blog daily..only when there is something significant to say.

I WILL treasure you comments when I do post, so please feel invited to respond to my occasional posts.

This is a new adventure for a person who has not been a particularly good correspondent in the past. Perhaps I will be able to find a new ME inside the old ME.
