Papers, Please...

I'm about to travel. To Scotts Bluff, NE for a family funeral. With an 82yo subject to panic attacks and with a talent for seeing disaster around every corner. The opportunities for this to go rodeo abound.

I've been following the tale of the ever-eroding civil rights of travelers in this diminished age of cowardice and petty tyranny. AD relates one such ever more common tale.

I am not looking forward to this.

The 82yo isn't quite bionic, but is giving it the college try with a partial knee replacement and several pins in her back. Screening will be...interesting.

I am not looking forward to this.

I am minded of Breda's exciting experience with the TSA. And that one of the few things that will wind up my temper in a *hurry* is folks giving my family a hard time. This does not bode well.

I am not looking forward to this.

Oh what fun portends.

look up "deviant ollam" "travel with firearms" or simply "Deviant's guide to travelling with firearms"

Even if you don't or can't carry at your destination, it keeps your stuff from being pawed thru at each stop...
