I've lost any sense that the govt is generally at least trying to help. These monkeys aren't helping. These are just good government jobs in the most classic, ironic sense.

When the TSA agent told me that he "couldn't tell if the container is empty" while holding my 3/4 used up 7 oz tube of toothpaste I refrained from going to jail by telling him to throw it away. (I'd had 10 minutes to pack for a sudden trip just after the 3 oz rule was instated)

Latest fun was that the TSA damaged a bunch of Mesa airlines commuter planes when doing night inspections of the planes to ensure they were "secure." They used the air data probes on the sides of the planes for handholds. I suppose incompetent sabotage is preferable to there being a bomb planted on a plane in the middle of the night?

We're doomed by our stupidity.
