backaches's back?


wasted a couple of hours waiting for these buggers who came, posed a bit, answered a couple of questions and left,

ended up with empty notepad, backache, nonsense photos,

that's not all, a security personnel at the airport actually singled me out and decided that my possessions should be checked - i mean there are literally hundreds of people and i was wearing my pass but he had to pick me:


policeman - "what's in your bag?" (it's huge bag in green good for dumping anything and everything inside quickly)
me- "god knows" - (i really don't know, cos i have tons of things inside, old tissue paper, camera bag, overdue library books, pens, pencils, charger, )
policeman - "i will have to search it"
me - "go ahead" ( and i handed him the bag)
policeman - "no, u open it for me" (i think he's scared i wired the bag's zipper to a motion sensitive explosive device)
so he proceeds to sieve through my back, which of course didnt' contain anything substantial
policeman - "u have identification?" (looking at me but trying to check out my pass)
me - "you looking at it right?"
policeman - "yah, i know, but what about other identification?"
me - "you do know that i exchanged my only identity card for this pass right?" (now i'm beginning to lose patience, cos i see a man with a bigger bag and admittedly more suspicious looking than me - not that i'm suspicious looking of course, go past a couple of policemen without them blinking)
policeman - "of course but any other identification?"
me - "no, i'm only issued one identity card"
policeman - "ohhh i see, well, thank you."

i know he's doing his job, but come on, don't do it dumbly and worse, isn't it scary,
knowing that if i was a real bomber, i could have hidden the bomb in my camera bag and this dumb person wouldn't have a clue?  ¶ 12:36 am
