A nation of half-wit jobsworths?

Oh how we laughed at the stories of America’s TSA: the retards responsible for stealing passengers luggage all the while saving the world from arabic t-shirts. This sort of brainless bureaucracy seems to be a specialty of the American civil service.

Regrettably like many things American it seems to be making its way over here: it seems wearing a t-shirt with a cartoon gun is enough to get one kicked off a flight. This kind of hysterical brain dead twaddle is just depressing the living fuck out of Geeklawyer. It’s the inevitable consequence of jobsworthism: hiring cretinous people with a humourectomy inculcated in an atmosphere of panic over the “War on Terror”.

Wow! That’s creepy. I’d once have asked “Who the fuck would buy that?” but I now know the answer. Have you told them at blairforpm?

And put mental health of the general public at risk as well? It’s better we maintain the illusion that the real nutters are still all locked up…….

Meanwhile, whilst on the plane’s flying from T5, British Airways are currently screening Charlie Wilson’s War. A film about a US confressman played by Tom Hank’s who supports the ‘resistance fighters’ aks Talaiban fighting the nast Communists in Afghanistan.

The irony is not lost.

Geeklawyer… have you seen all those seriously over refreshed people on Twitter? People are even replying to a gorilla called Tempranillo

I am very much looking forward to your Blawg review on July 4th - fantastic!

The CIA may well be landing at Luton airport again after your command performance.

We who are about to read your Blawg review - Salurte you - as they used to say in the days of nero and Caligula

I’m looking forward to it too. I’m hoping for a really pompous post I can rip into. preferably not one of my own, of course.

On July the 4th I think it my duty to remind Americans why being a republic is good.
