well duh.  you can't make perferct security anymore then you can make a
perfect machine.  everyone out there needs to face the fact that you're
never gonna be fucking safe from anything ...

so, in the meantime, can we please stop pretending that the security for
freedom trade off works and get back to enjoying the things that were
actually still good about america?

Man Carries Gun Though Airport Security

A 63-year-old insurance agent from Tennessee faces charges after he walked
through a checkpoint at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport with a
handgun in his pocket that went undetected.

Atlanta police said last night that Charles Hildreth of Collegedale, a
suburb of Chattanooga, realized he had the .22-caliber pistol in his
pocket when he reached his concourse and immediately notified authorities
Sunday afternoon. He told police he walked through the checkpoint and the
warning machine did not go off.

Hildreth had a permit for the gun. Atlanta police charged him with having
a firearm in a prohibited area. He was released but ordered to report to
court in Atlanta on October ninth.
