So Nashua Mayor Donchuss want to bring the TSA to his choo-choo plan (that the rest of us would have to pay for)?

Evolv TechnolgyThose proponents of bringing more railroad projects are lazy and greedy.  This is because they refuse to go the capitalist route and do it themselves privately.  Heck, that’s a TON of work they’ have to do and a VERY expensive proposition to boot.  They’re hypocrites at best – believing that this brand new fangled 19th century technology, that can’t pay for itself ANYWHERE without large taxpayer subsidies, should be foisted upon us that would never bother to ride it.  That’s ok, it’s other peoples’ money they are demanding to take to pay for their foolish obsession.

One of their reasons is that rail is so much better than flying – just look at the comfy seats that are shown when Amtrack does its ads.  Sure looks like the lap of luxury, right? Easy-peezy, just buy your ticket and hop on board, right?  Er, maybe in the near future, not so much.  Let’s just bring the same Kabuki security theater of the TSA to this “no hassle” idea of Donchess:

Coming to a public transit station near you . . . Metro Tests Firearm, Explosive-Detecting Body Scanners

Passengers boarding subway trains in Los Angeles may soon be shuffled through airport-style body scanners that are aimed to detect firearms and explosives.

A two-day pilot program by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority began Wednesday. But officials quickly experienced a hiccup when a scanner being demonstrated Wednesday morning at Union Station malfunctioned before passengers could be put through the machine.

Yeah, this will want me to more readily take a train….not!  I hate to fly now – I’m not a cow to be herded through machines by a staff that treats us as things instead of their employers (for we pay their salaries and benefits – even as they fail to detect those things and people they are supposed to catch and stop).  WHY, in God’s green earth, would I want to continue to subject myself to that for that “wonderful” train experience (to a city that I lived in for 7 years but really don’t wish to return to)?  This is suppose to have me jumping up and down for joy yelling “Thanks for yet another thing to make me late for work!!!!!” ?  And yet one more hassle in my day?  This is supposed to make me MORE willing to get out of my car and ride the train?

Sheesh.  No, Donchess and the other fools haven’t said anything about instituting this but hey, Democrats said nothing during campaigning about legalizing gay marriage either before taking over the House, Senate, and Governorship either.
