POST BY GUEST STEVE: Steve is a friend I have met during our foreclosure crisis. Occassionally in my email inbox, I run across treasures of insight. This is written by Steve and addressed to many friends, after his experience traveling this last week. Here is his email with permission in it's entirety with bolding added. I did not tell Steve about the upcoming naked scanners! I do like Steve's take on are you a leader or a follower?
Hi Guys!!! Just wanted to quickly share a recent experience with all of you. Listening to John this last year, also made the reality of the situation blatantly clear!!! For those of you that have not traveled by airplane in awhile, be prepared for going through security!!! It is not like the old days, where your relatives came to the gate, hugged before entering the plane, and watched the plane taking off down the runway and saying a prayer!!!
I went through security in Phoenix, and then in Las Vegas coming back. I need to also say for the record, that I am a man that likes to carry things in my pockets. I like having 4 pockets, with all kinds of things, and even used to carry a nail clipper until it was viewed as a weapon!!! With all that I found a way to go through security!!! Today, everything comes out of the pockets, shoes off, belt off, everything going through the machine, and all I had was the "Clothes On My Back!!!"
I was completely separated from all of my possessions!!! I had no wallet, no I.D., no itinerary, no money, no keys, NOTHING!!! And because they make you stand in a cylinder, and hold position for 8 seconds of deadly xrays, you completely lose track of your possessions!!! Now I realize I am probably more mentally insane than you people when it comes to possessions, but I just saw this as an extreme situation!!! They could have "Hustled Me Off," and I would be a non entity, unable to identify myself!!! I think I've made my point, but people go along with all this, and it is not leading to a good end!!! I think there were other times in history where the people just went along!!!
So when I'm listening on the news, and them (reporters) saying we have freedom, I don't believe it anymore!!! This is what I discerned over a 3 day period!!! In the Las Vegas Justice Court they were also treating people like animals!!! In Las Vegas the court security were actually talking very strong and mean to the people, but they were so fixated on getting through security, that they SIMPLY FOLLOWED ALL COMMANDS!!!" I hope you get something out of this, and I haven't wasted your time??? Let's try to enjoy what we have and keep fighting those wanting to take more and more from us!!! Take care Steve
