People of the nation, people of the world daily travel with the knowledge and insruance that they are safe. The procedures taht are meant to assure us, thatt are meant to keep out minds at ease. The procedures, that perhaps may work at time - but in the epitemy of security, fail.
The explosions, the usage and transport of drugs still ocur. Millions, if not billions of people per day travel. Do you believe that they are all being checked equally? That there's time for each person to be varified as safe?
We're at the pinnacle of extremity. We cannot afford to be theartened by extremists - because one way or another, they will 'express' their opinions. They will find a way to terrorize, they will find a way to cause fear - our 'security' won't stop it. What is security for? Towards what extend and are does security actually cover?
Do you believe you're safe because of it?
Perhaps security achieves it's goals, but the sheddings that are left effect us all. For example, the footage of the youung boy taking his shirt off in the airport - what monstruties has the planet created that we doubt the seed of life, the possibly only innocence we have left?
What kind of life do you want your child to lead? the one where his accused of murder, of terrorizing just because he/she carries an oddly shaped toy?
We have cast a shadow of doubt upon everything. My main point, and I want to underline and present it to your attention, isn't that security shouldn't exist at all. It does confine a certain threat that could, by the long-run, stop certain things from happening. This threat, however, should only apply to those who deserve it and it shouldn't apply to everyone. Just because a few demented beings have done what they've done, it is no reason to cause paranoia and convey the world to submit to them.
Our message should remain strong, and not crumble into ashes by fear. We need to say enough is enough.
A child shouldn't be passing through such a thorough check-out because of his identity or race.
Another point which security manages to explore. Race. Identity. It the submilist form of thinking, isn't there an injection of racism in fear? Wouldn't a muslim male be checked more then a christian male?
Can we not see that this form of prejudice is creating a barrier between countries and the world?
The generalization is not fair, not equipped and I have so far not seen anyone protest against it.
I wonder if it's the tauntilizing embodiment of fear; I wonder if the threat is real anyone or a construction of imagination.
Are we a step a way from security spreading it's wing in public transport? In the streets? In every door you enter? Are we bound to see it's feathers wherever we may go?
The line between invading privacy and to behold us in a cover of safety is what seems to be impossible.
Our luggage, our bags, our bodies - soon they'll find a way to check the very fibre of our being.
I'm scared that we reached a point of no return - that this will contiune to be the future.
I, sincerely, hope not. I hope that there will be a day in which I can travel, in which I can enter an airport and an airline and not have eyes narrow and scan me, not feel the tension that surronds the airport if anybody so much as whispers the forbidden words - 'explosion', 'bomb', 'terror' - if it's as much as a synonym, for it not to be a verbal weapon that immediately shoots it's bullets into hearts and recharges the air with thick poisionous agitation.
For there to be a day where the extremist's won't have the effect they do, for the extremists not to have the last word.
