Xeni Jardin of BoingBoing reported a strange "freeze tag" event that she participated in when arriving back at LAX yesterday. Quoth Xeni:
I walked from the arrival gate ... all of a sudden
about a dozen or more TSA personnel ... appeared, shouting STOP WHERE YOU
ARE. FREEZE. Not just at me, but all of the travelers ... After 30 minutes,
the TSA people said, okay, you may leave now. And everyone unfroze, and went
and got their bags. No explanation.
Scary shit. We Americans are so fucked. This post sums up my feelings pretty effectively.
I'm dreading flying in October. Absolutely dreading it.
