The airport security check points have you disrobe to the point of taking off your belt, shoes, coat, and everything from your pockets. You have to take off more and more each time. Soon you may have to go nude for them. I mean I don’t mind clothing optional, but the key word is optional. I also have the right to keep my clothes on!
Then they x-ray you zapping you several times sometimes with an unknown amount of radiation. Somebody sits behind the x-ray machine looking at a scan of your nude body. They said it was optional, but it doesn’t work that way. I’ve never been told it’s optional. I go through check points twice a week, so I am concerned about the radiation delivered by people that are not doctors.
Aside from walking on dirty floors in your socked or bare feet, you have to touch a lot of dirty containers. Nice way for an epidemic to start!
My biggest complaint is the way you are herded through the check point like beef heading to slaughter. Half the time the check point people are rude or at least as unfriendly as the people working in a slaughter house are to the animals about to become only meat. You are rushed through. You have to hurry up with the disrobe placing your cell phone and wallet on a conveyer belt right next to the processions of the people that come before and after you. Then you have to remove your computer from the case and put it in a separate container. If someone has a bag which gets scanned repeatedly in front of you, your computer is repeatedly x-rayed. Once the red x-ray light remained on for a minute with my computer inside. Did that have anything to do with the fact it wouldn’t boot back to life when we got to our final destination?
When you collect you valuables at the other side of the check point you can inadvertently swap computers with the person next to you or lose your computer or wallet. Great place for a thief!
I remember the days when we could walk right on to a plane, sit in seats without the potential of having 300 plus pounds sitting on either side, sit topside in a big lounge and order a drink for a leisurely flight. Those were the days my friend!
