"At lest we don't have the stormtroopers (very heavily armed) of the ATF and Homeland Security descending on us at random all over the US"
Dunno about that leadie,
Got off a Sydney Perth flight one morning and wondered what the hold up was disembarking.
When I finally got to the air bridge, all I could hear was the screams of children and passengers single file against one side of the air bridge while a bunch of shaven headed, no neck, paramilitary thugs, armed to the teeth strutted up and down the line with slobbering dogs at eye level with the kids, who were terrified.
Old fella in front of me muttered "Did we miss Perth and end up in North Korea?"
