The blog has largely been on autopilot for the past three weeks. I have been out and about, doing stuff. In the last three weeks, I was in the Dominican Republic, Bermuda, and New York. We walked in the door less than an hour ago. Now that I am back home, I can spend time on getting stuff done around here. It’s tough running this site on a cell phone.
I would have mentioned it sooner, but we all know that there are some loons out there that will take advantage of us when we aren’t home.
I got selected for “random” extra screening on both of the US legs of my flight. The second time, they swabbed me for explosives and spread my luggage all over the place. It seems that my checked bag was also randomly tossed and inspected by TSA. Random, my ass.

Since returning from a month in Ireland in 1996, I have been sent to ‘secondary’ every time I have flown an airline. It was then as I returned to the land of the free that I was detained for six hours. Men in matching nondescript black suits took my wallet and passport and sat me in a curtained room with only a single metal chair. ‘Sit there, don’t talk, don’t get up’, was all they said. I was in line behind my wife until I wasn’t. She didn’t know my whereabouts for over four hours.
In 2003, I was scanned, swabbed, bodily searched three distinct times while standing in the line to board. I have been slapped, shoved, grabbed and mocked by the tub stackers in airports all around the U.S. In a few days I’ll be flying the airlines. I think I’ll show up in a diaper and flip flops.

Welcome home. From a CELL PHONE?! Good grief, makes me appreciate the site even more!
Uh, TSA, yeah, right. They’s got a great game goin’ ya know. Make it miserable and then extort money to make it somewhat less miserable. Would be an illegal maneuver anywhere but government (what’s that by the people, for the people, … or something thereabouts ?)

Good to have you back safe and sound DM.

Everytime i get swabbed it comes back with residue. Even my laptop comes back positive for hydrocarbon residue….. I work in a oil processing plant and 90% of tge people going through the local airport are oilfield workers.

Remember, the DHS and others have said Whites are the biggest domestic terror threat. Expect to get targeted more.
Flying is dumb unless you absolutely need it as you have to be around all the filth even if you fly a more expensive flight and can’t fly armed. The TSA are a bunch of low-IQ antiWhite niggers who love taking it out on people like you.
This is america now. Just wait until you and/or other Whites get framed for something to bump the numbers up to increase their calls for funding.

Appreciate your work.

Hope you had fun on your adventures at least and I’m glad you made it back safely!
With any luck some day the tender ministrations of the TSA gropers can be met with the sharp elbow to the nose it deserves instead of an idle gaze of loathing.

Prior to getting Pre Check, it seemed I was getting “randomly” checked at least every third trip I took. Since Pre Check, not once. No checked luggage search either.
This is despite being a known member of a designated “criminal organization”, a motorcycle club.

I was a holder of a Global Entry card. For that one, you have to be fingerprinted, get a BG check, and then interviewed by a Federal Agent. The process takes months and costs $150 for 5 years, IIRC.
I still got checked on the regular, even though you are supposed to be allowed in without removing your computer from your bag, taking off your shoes, or any of that nonsense. They did it anyhow. It wasn’t worth the money, so I let it expire. Why should I need to pay money and then beg for my Constitutional Rights, only to have them taken anyhow?
I’m also tired of telling that story and complaining, only to see people roll their eyes at me, as if I am the crazy one.

You ain’t crazy, just less willing to swallow the BS. About 25 years ago I had to fly to Italy on business. My return trip was Milan Italy, change planes in Frankfort Germany, on to Atlanta on Delta. When I got home I found cards/stickers where 7 different folks had inspected my checked bag. 7 MF’ers rooting thru my dirty laundry. I could never get any kind of an answer from anyone why so many folks needed to look thru my bag.
I have cut back on flying in the last few months due to semi retiring. I don’t miss the hassle at all, because it’s all a headache. From the lines at the airports, getting felt up by TSA on occasion, delayed luggage, delayed flights, retard passengers, and the list is endless.

My wife had her bags gone thru and a body pat down coming and going from CA this week. I wonder if it because I frequent right wing sites.

last time on a plane was 2007. went to a wedding. the pimple faced kid want to do
extensive “pat down” to check me for something (?) one mid size bag.
almost went to jail over the bullshit. never again.
and to think I used to fly 3-4 times a month back in the 1970-and 80’s too.
long ago, I realize the more you put up with, the more you will get of the bullshit.
if I can’t drive there inside of 2 days , I don’t go.
