Another "Tin Hat" post....

Well, it's aluminum foil and not "tin" but you get my drift. Last week, all the news was about some "idiot" that flew his small plane a little too close to the capitol building. This caused a major evacuation of personnel, scrambling some jets, and escorting the small plane to a landing strip where the pilot was pulled aside and spoken to harshly, I assume.
The next thing we're all treated to is a plea for more Homeland security "stuff". Money, power to act when and wherever needed without external mandate, blah, blah, blah. It was an "obvious sign that we are not doing enough to protect the Homeland".

BULLSHIT

1. In my humble opinion we've already given up too much to the facsist-wannabe's running the Dept of Homeland Security. I've been through airports in Europe, and in the US and getting on a plane in Europe is more hassle-free than in the US...and Europe started all the airport security long before we did.
2. Why wasn't the small plane in restricted airspace reduced to a smoking pile of rubble?
3. Why wasn't the pilot arrested and sent straight to jail? No passing Go, no collecting 200 dollars? Yes, the pilot of the small plane was released without charges at all. For flying through known restricted airspace.
4. The "tin hat" twist to the story: Do you think it's possible that the spin doctors in the Government have decided that Americans are forgetting about the need for Homeland "security" so they cook up some plot to re-raise awareness. Say, for example, get an under-cover FBI agent to "accidentally" fly too close to the White House in a small plane?
I really wish, deep down, I didn't think our government would be capable of that type of behavior. Unfortunately I do think they are capable of this, and much more. And it has nothing to do with the TV shows I may, or may not, have watched in the past.
