Apparently the FBI and the CIA have the worst communication of any intelligence networks... ever. What's funny is that they work for the same damn country.
I've been pulled over by TSA, and the resident idiots at the borders of various other countries (though it's funnier when it's the TSA since, you know, I'M AMERICAN AND I LIVE HERE, but anyway...) simply for being dressed a little too hippie-ish, or having tattoos, or whatever. Stuff that has not a goddamn thing to do with national security at all. I look funny. That's reason enough.
I've started carrying some formal clothes in my overnight bag that I change into after I get off the plane just so they don't bug me. Profiling has gone absolutely rampant.
And while they're wasting their time playing 20 questions with me, some dude with tear gas up his sleeve happily walks on through.
It has nothing to do with national security. It's just an extention of the goverment getting way too up in telling people what to do.
:soapbox:
Anyway...
Didn't this start out having something to do with straight razors?
