Wonder why I hate airports? It’s because they’re full of total, utter shit.

Airports are some of the most stupid and ignorant places a person can go. Very new technology? Not permitted, because it’s not understood. Why, even when it is, if the TSA breaks it, they can threaten to arrest you when you get miffed about it because they’re idiots. Remember the MacBook Air that the TSA thought was unreal? Idiots.

Very often, in software and other fields, simple engineering is preferred to any alternatives. Well, guess what? The TSA, our government, and the people that are in it like to make things very complex. We need for things to be grossly simplified so that we as a society can function, know the parameters we’re expected to adhere to (because secret rules which we can be arrested for not obeying are obviously reasonable) and be able to jump in at a moment’s notice and actually be able to save a person from some idiot without the fear of that person then being an idiot. After all, idiocy reigns over us and people sue for being saved. The fix?

Simple law. Simple government. Level playing field. Right?

So, carry your guns (legally!) into Hartsfield. Use those permits. Exercise your legal right. Too bad it requires a permit, because I’d just show up. As it is, permits should not be required according to the Law of the Land, but who pays attention to the US Constitution anymore. It’s just a piece of ancient history, right Uncle Sam?
