One day when the high school dropout in the TSA feeling you up at the airport decides he doesn't like you or that you insulted him, he will be able to walk over to a monitor and trace your past month as recorded on a series of drones - all cataloged by license plate and origin addresses.

And I bet that day is by the end of this decade.




What's wrong with a high school dropout? You feel superior? Maybe you should change your attitude towards your fellow man so they don't hate you. Maybe a dropout was a drop because people like you looking down on others.


I think you're reading too much into it, I'm sure he didn't mean to offend high school dropouts specifically, and that he means that too much discretionary power is put into the hands of a random person that happens to be employed by homeland security. Which is indeed a scary thought. Some people will always have reasons to dislike you, whatever you do.


Maybe you should calm down and stop reading so deeply into comments on the internet.

People are so quick to get upset these days. Chill.


That's a valid point to challenge my thinking about some hs dropouts.

But if you feel there are any TSA workers who are thoughtful, intelligent beings, you are way off. It has massive turnover for darn good reason. Think about the lack of thought and care that has to go into taking a job like that. I mean you would have to really enjoy people hating you, enjoy violating people, or just not caring, and any of that make for a really horrible personality.
