Passenger caught brandishing corkscrew

I suppose I could attack someone with a corkscrew, but it would take some time to screw it in and there would have to no resistance. Nonetheless, our corkscrew was confiscated by alert security personnel here at Prague airport, and wrestled to the ground.

We have time to kill, and Internet is free here, and better than Internet that they charge for at American airports. To fly from here we had to go through some questioning by a very nice lady who is trained to look for signs of deception. We are presumed innocent and breezed through. Then we presented passports and headed to our gate.

No problems, we thought. We passed many gates to many destinations, and there are no further security checks for other desitinations, however … Gate B9, New York. Here we were scanned and patted down and our carry-ons manhandled, and that is when we were caught with …. da-dahhhhh … corkscrew!!! Call security. We so scared! We so scared! Passenger has corkscrew!!!

Here’s Glenn Greenwald, citing John Mueller, talking about the threat we face:

“The number of people worldwide who are killed by Muslim-type terrorists, Al Qaeda wannabes, is maybe a few hundred outside of war zones. It’s basically the same number of people who die drowning in the bathtub each year.”

Yes, America this is what has your collective panties in a knot. You’re a bunch of pussies, that’s what you are. Home of the brave, my ass.

Agitprop. They want you to be scared. That is all this is about – to convince you that you have enemies.
