Like a plot from Kafka's The
Trial
Friendly skies indeed
WASHINGTON - Delta Air Lines will begin testing a new government plan for
air security next month that will check background information and assign a
threat level to everyone who buys a ticket for a commercial flight. [More]
It's color coded, too, just like the terror alert! If you are branded red,
you will not be allowed to fly, and I'm sure you'll be treated real nice by
airport security. OK, let's just think about this. If the government has
enough information to figure out that someone is enough of a threat not to
be allowed to fly, shouldn't that person have been arrested already, and
prosecuted for their involvement in terrorist activities? What we are
seeing here, friends, is conviction without a trial. Somebody up there
decides that you are a threat, and before you know it, you are wearing the
equivalent of a Star of
David on your sleeve. It's true, this one is invisible, until you try
to take a vacation.
I guess this is a week for political activism. I'm going to email Delta's customer
service to inform them that I won't be booking any flights on their
airline any time soon.
