For many who have to travel frequently by air doing the mandatory security check has become the most disliked part of the journey. Gone are the days when you dumped your carryon in a basket, empty your pockets of coin and whizzed through airport security to your onward destination. Occasionally at the sound of a beep the attendant would manually scan your person without bothering you to remove your shoes or belt. In the post 911 era travelling by air has gotten that much more difficult.

In December 2010 Minister of International Business and Transport, George Hutson alerted Barbadians that the Barbados government had acquired high tech scanning equipment at a cost of USD65,000.00. It appears Barbados has not seen the need to go the way of body scanners, given the nature of air travel it is only a matter of time.

When one reflects on how the world has changed post-911, it boggles the mind that there is any trace of truth to reports circulating that the World Trade Centre disaster may have been averted.

Have a view of the following video:

Even more mindboggling is the report that some US Federal Lawmakers have invested in L-3 Communications the company behind the controversial full-body scanning machines now in more than 60 U.S. airports. The name Senator John Kerry would be the most recognizable to Barbadians.

Name	Value
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.)	$500,001 to $1,000,000
Rep. Michael Castle (R-Del)	$16,002 to $65,000
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas)	$16,002 to $65,000
Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.)	$15,001 to $50,000
Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.)	$1,001 to $15,000
Rep. Robert Scott (D-Va.)	$1,001 to $15,000
Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.)	$2,173
Rep. Kenny Marchant (R-Texas)	$2,086

To round of the mindboggling revelation is the fact the above information would have been made public through mandatory public financial disclosure statements, required by those who serve in public office in the USA.

Since Sept. 2001, even with all the airport mandatory security checks, not one single terrorist has been detected anywhere in the WORLD, huh.

Money well spent or money foolish spent.

Remember the unsuccessful underwear bomber of Christmas 2009 helped provide another impetus for having the US public accept irradiating, nudy picture machines in their airports along with the intrusive, junk grabbing, body searches by TSA agents. Turns out the machines are being provided by the business clients of the former Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, who has easy access to the corporate media to flog these machines to the public by appearing as a guest on news shows etc.

But who was that well-dressed man that helped the underwear bomber get on the plane, apparently without showing a passport, and why would the Dutch authorities not release the security videos of him helping the underwear bomber check in at the airport in Amsterdam.

Kurt Haskell and his wife, who were witnesses on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253 saw Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab at the boarding gate in Amsterdam. Haskell told CNN that the accused bomber appeared strikingly ‘poor’ next to the well-dressed man he said was obviously wealthy and appeared to be of Indian ethnicity. According to Haskell, that man did the talking for him, explaining to the flight personnel at the gate that Abdulmutallab needed to board without a passport, claiming that he was a Sudanese refugee.

The gate attendee referred the odd-couple to the manager. Haskell said that was the last he saw of the wealthy man, but later recognized Abdulmutallab after the incident occurred on the plane. That’s when he says he put two and two together about the unusual connection.

His wife found it ‘odd’ that authorities have not yet followed up on their witness account, as they were the only ones known to have witnessed Abdulmutallab with the ‘Indian’ man prior to boarding the flight.

If he had help getting on the flight with no passport after having been reported to the authorities by his own father, what is the true explanation for the man seen filming the entire flight? Another witness on board the flight, Richelle Keepman, said she noticed the cameraman at the beginning of the flight, believing the man might have been simply excited about a first flight, or etc. Later when the ‘bombing’ incident took place, she says the cameraman was the only one standing up, and intently filming the entire incident.

What is evident is that we blindly trust/follow the status quo which more often than not is being manipulated by the trusted ones.

Referring to the Gulf of Tonkin bogus attack on a US destroyer used by the US government to ramp up support among the US population for a full scale military invasion of Vietnam, columnist Sydney Schanberg wrote: “We Americans are the ultimate innocents.

How effective has the world court in the Hague been? Obviously not very given the atrocities being perpetrated by some.

@David,

Methinks that unfortunately, the UN and its ancillary devices are becoming irrelevant, as the world is entering a new era of turbulence.

The 9/11 etc onwards is little to what is to come.

Witness, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia. The economy in the US and Europe still in a mess.

This is an era of caution,an era that we must be conservative and an era in which self security, in spite of what ‘experts’ advise, is necessary.

Green monkey has it right.

The basics, food, shelter, education and healthcare are what should be the priorities.,

We may very soon have little else.

It’s illegal to racially profile passengers apparently, but I’ve been selected to be put through their special scanner 4 times in a row now, in Texas and Raleigh Durham.. you have to wait for a green light, but last time I didn’t get my green light due to a tissue in my pocket, (which I let them keep). They say that the special scanner is bad for your nutsac (or scrotum) and can make your sperm go sterile.. and you have the option to refuse to go through it and be body patted down instead.
