There are many examples of TSA locks never actually being utilizedā¦ In fact the lock picking lawyer did a whole video about how a gun safe could not actually be opened with the TSA key because of the way the toggle was designed internallyā¦ It was simply impossible to open with the TSA key because it was blocked from turning the correct direction. The fact that this gun safe is still actually sold today tells me that the TSA just cares that the TSA lock is there, and they donāt actually use it. Just by its existence they figure whatever is inside is fine.

Doesnāt mean I have to roll overā¦
And certainly doesnāt mean I wonāt fuck with them at every available opportunity
Unfortunately thatās no longer the case these days
He gets his āgunā locks cut off semi regularly
Oh really? I didnāt know that.
More proof that Uncle Sam is slowly sliding into full 1984ā¦

If you think itās just the US your deluding yourself
Well yeah, China definitely has a leg up on the US in that respect. The key difference is, they donāt pretend to be the beacon of freedom and liberty.

This talk about physical security got me watching @DeviantOllam videos again and I was a little surprised to see @Eriequiet safe featured in a little talk he did.
The feature is at around 59 minutes.

Carrying a lower is one option, tossing an athletic starter pistol in is another. Pretty much anything like that is unlikely to actually get you in trouble anywhere but does require you to lock your luggage properly.
Bruce Sterling also makes a point of mocking security theatre. You can only carry tiny bottles of shampoo, but if you wear contact lenses you can carry a full sized bottle of saline. He has been known to carry two bottles marked saline full of liquid. When asked why two he simply said that he had two eyes.

Totally off any subject, but I couldnāt help myself earlier at a Killers concert, when they played their song Human, I was probably the only one singing the lyrics, āAre we human, or are we cyborgs, my sign is vital, my hands are chipped, andā¦ā. My crazy mind just thinks of stuff like thatā¦

Ah. I ASSuMEd you would. Nailed it.
I have no clue - I saw them, somewhere, but I never had the chance to try them.
For lemon-y-candy, I sometimes really like those:

Lemon, filled with some slightly tingling powder stuff. And the name says something like āGood mood candyā, which is always a good thing to have.
Downside: they stick on the tongue piercing frequently, and after 5 or 6 of them, my palate is almost bleeding

This is why we toil, though. So that future people donāt have to deal with all this rigamarole, they can just have nice things without a struggle.

If I wasnāt so disgusted by the whole thing, Iād invent a harmless āpreventativeā in the spirit of Di-Hydrogen Mono-oxide, so the idiots wouldnāt poison themselves.
Itās bad enough theyāre willing to hurt themselves, but they always have to try and take everybody else down the same bad path.
I do wonder though, if they could invent a vaccine pill, (and maybe not call it a vaccine publicly), would the antivax folks jump all over it? I really think thereās some psychological angle about needles / shots powering alot of this.

I think itās at least in the US itās the culture war. If the left likes it the right hates it.
If you brand it as the patriot cure it would for sure.
