Sometimes a Great Notion. Sometimes a Complete Crock

[celtic_crippler]

Now this is funny.
Gee, I wonder why air travel and tourism is down?
Draconian security, rates soaring, fingerprinting, delays, long waits, xray scanners, invasive searches, lack of privacy, riffled and stolen luggage and now they think mandatory shock collars are good?

Maybe they can just require we fly in the nude, tied to our seats, and sedated next?

I wouldn't mind the sedated part.

No no no, next it'll be two micro capsules in each carotid artery which will completely dissolve in 22 hours if you don't get the President out of New York.

Best get lookin' for my eye patch.

:lol:

Call me Snake..

Close, but no cigar. It's micro-chips, not tattoos.

Already putting them in pets

BTW, you know the 6th letter of the Hebrew alphabet is w dontcha, and that they use letters for numbers, too?

www....

666?

Hey, they would use the stun gun part against bad guys, right? So then, why a stun gun? They should inject a quickly working poison... or make it a collar instead of a bracelet and make it with small explosives which could destroy the neck.

I'm sure the drooling idiots would love the idea.

Some cynical curmudgeonly thoughts on a scheme to make us all safer by fitting air travelers with remote-control shock collars, err, "Electro-Muscular Disruption Technology".

Uhm.......sounds like something from the Onion.

Remember the neck belt car restraint system?

The cure to hi-jacking is to hand everyone a ball-peen hammer upon bordering. Anyone gets out of line, the rest of the passengers bludgeon them to death. It's so crazy it JUST might work!

Almost laughable. Almost.

Alas, it's serious. A former DIA security expert says that it's not the stupidest thing she's seen seriously considered.

A little exaggerated, but basically true. Starting on 12 September 2001 every hijacking attempt or "passenger began to rush the cockpit" or "dingbat tried to blow up his shoes" incident involving planes in the US has ended with "passenger was [restrained|beaten into thin red pulp] by passengers and crew." A few dozen to a couple hundred terrified people who believe they have nothing to lose can do amazing violence in close quarters.

And the sheeple woke. Well, they could have but that takes too much energy to actually wake up and do something significant when your *** isn't on the line at that second.

Bureaucracy is the power of stupid people in large groups.

I think it's safe to assume that 9/11 as it occurred was a phenomenon of passenger compliance, and could NEVER again happen in the same manner. You can blow up planes, but you'll never again take 80 passengers hostage with 4 terrorists and some box-cutters.

Only if the one suggesting it wears one and I have the shock transmitter! Then maybe they would reconsider.

I understand in court rooms, were violent criminals at hearings or trial have been fitted with such because of their behavior in that very courtroom, but 99.99 percent of the citizens are NOT CRIMINALS AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS SUCH.

The guy proposing this out to have a cattle prod inserted up.... well you know.
