I do not doubt the initial good intention. But it has become a self serving scam for some num......s.
The tragedy is that the authorities do not dare take any remedial action as it would seem they'd back off on security (not good for reelection i guess). So they let the num.....s continue their silly nintendo watch.
In the beginning they just screened our bags. Suddenly one overzealous unit wanted the laptops screened separately. As i asked why, they looked me in the eyes, with their numb-wannabe-professional look, and said it is because of the hard discs. Apparently somewhere some explosives were once upon a time stored in something like a hard disc.
So far so good. Then came the iPads and MacbookAirs, with only flash memory. But the num.....s continued to wanting to have them screened separately. This time with the argument " ..... it's the procedure ....".
today I am taking out my MacbookAir, to have it screened separately, and leave the remote hard disc in the bag uncontested ......
I start doubting the "intelligent design theory" ......
