Now they can steal your laptop, phone etc….
As if it wasn’t bad enough already, now they can outright STEAL what may be the most important piece of gear you own, your computer, and anything else you might be carrying with you – ALL WITHOUT ANY REASON AT ALL!!!
Wow.
Science Fiction comes to life before our eyes……
I mean fine, if there’s some reason to suspect someone, then by all means give them a good looking over, but just because?
And what does that become in the hands of the people who man those security points…I mean…..have you been through one of those things? It’s the people that McDonalds won’t hire for chrissakes, not people who clearly have experience and the training needed to truly know what to look for, and maybe have even seen it before….
These people with this kind of freedom will do things to people based on god knows what basis like – “he looks like the guy who stole my lunch money in 5th grade”, (or maybe he IS that guy), or in my case “I don’t like musicians, they’re liberal commies”, or “I’d like to get THAT girl in a small room in the back for 5 minutes”, or the old “I do whatever the hell they feel like” reason.
And you can’t do a thing about it. So they take your laptop with everything on it, they keep it as long as they like, maybe forever, and that’s it. No compensation, no getting it back so your life can go on as scheduled, nothing, just a big hole where your info/time/money/contacts/etc etc etc used to be.
Yeah, you have it backed up (you do don’t you?), but what about all the private info, emails, secure (you thought) logins, anything that you wouldn’t want a TOTAL STRANGER going through? And they will go through it.
This is SOOOOO gross…..those fat, clammy old-sweat covered touching themselves in the bathroom in back hands all over my personal DATA?!?!?
EWWWWWWWW!!!!
And what’s even grosser is the regular people who DEFEND this kind of thing, either out of maliciousness, or even worse blind raging stupid obedience to ideas they don’t even grasp….
I keep saying this – what makes everyone so sure that the powers that be in this administration and their controllers in the corporations are going to let an election and the possible rollback of these transgression occur?
It’s becoming a big concern to me, if you were them, would YOU let that happen?
There’s a LOT of money being made on very shaky premises, but it’s still a LOT of money….if it was you would you let that stop? Would YOU give up all that control, if you were in their place?
If I was them and thought like they do, I sure as hell wouldn’t.
