Fly the Unfriendly Skies

The Department of Homeland Security wants you to wear wear an electronic ID bracelet when you fly. Here's what it can do:

• Take the place of an airline boarding pass

• Contain personal information about the traveler

• Be able to monitor the whereabouts of each passenger and his/her luggage

• Shock the wearer on command, completely immobilizing him/her for several minutes

Well, I must say that sounds like a perfectly reasonable security precaution to me. Maybe we could install pop-up spikes in the seats and have the stewardess pull the fingernails of every tenth person to board the plane.

It's idiotic crap like this that gives the liberals ammunition against Homeland Security. Whoever proposed this bird-brained idea should be offered a new career opportunity. Street bum comes to mind.

Are you sure? I think it sounds great as long as we only put them on politicians, hippies, anyone who lugs their suitcase on as "carry-on" and David Hasslehoff.

This didn't look all that bad until I got to the built in taser part. I have to admit, this is something I would have conceived if I worked for the airlines. My hats off to the guy that got this passed the day dreaming stage and into serious considerations.
