it's not "oh, peace loving ex-hippie gets mistaken for terrorist", it's "shit, we need to tighten up airport security!!!". good god.

what's funny is that at incheon airport here in korea, they have a thing about all the shit you can't bring on planes anymore. one of them, of course, is shoe bombs. they put your shoes through the xray. but then they provide a visual aid, a veritable MANUAL on how to build the fucking thing. newsflash - IF YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO BUILD BOMBS... DON'T TEACH THEM HOW TO!

yeah i'm drunk. fuck you.
