digital janitor: "Want some torture with your peanuts?"

"Want some torture with your peanuts?"

THIS just blows my fucking mind. When I first read that article, I did a goddamn spit-take to see if I was reading The Onion. Then I realized that The Onion couldn't even make shit like that up.
Seriously? Who the FUCK is running the show over at "Homeland Security"?
The Electronic ID Bracelet, as its referred to as, would be worn by every traveler "until they disembark the flight at their destination." Yes, you read that correctly. Every airline passenger would be tracked by a government-funded GPS, containing personal, private and confidential information, and that it would shock the customer worse than an electronic dog collar if he/she got out of line.

Un-fucking-believable. I'm || this close to bailing on this goddamn country and moving to Belize.

Yeah, another friend pointed out my mistake. I read "times" as "post". My bad.

Plus it's a "weblog," and we all know how credible THOSE are. ;-)

I thought airlines weren't giving out peanuts anymore. What about people with peanut allergies?

Add this to one more reason why I won't fly (have more than enough now).

Altho, wouldn't mind getting a bunch of these and selling them in the S&M markets.

Putting them on PITA users might be productive.

If a hacker gets the transmitter (or whatever its called), they could have a whole lot of "fun."

I can't believe it took two people to write that article. They came really close to getting the grammar right!
