Security

My first thoughts of the cartoon consisted of laughter and thought of this as a satire photo.  I feel as if the cartoon is speaking the truth and yet, it gives me a little laugh. As the security gets stricter throughout our country, when shall we know what items we are allowed in our lives these days? This weekend I had the opportunity of flying on a airplane and got the experience to go through security. I feel as if everything possession is being stripped from my life at the very moment to make sure I'm not a "treat" to the country. 

There have been other places, besides the airport, where they've had security systems to make sure everyone is safe and protected. With increasing security it does protect us, but yet at the same time.... is it taking our freedoms and rights? In ten years from now will I even be able to carry anything in my purse over 3 ounces or anything sharp in any form? It's amazing how many ways they can search a person's luggage and belongings for the "unsafe" items.

  1. I'm sorry, I couldn't see either of your pictures. It sounded interesting, however, to read what you had to say about them. It certainly piqued my interest about what I'm missing!

  2. Luckily I was able to see them in class so I know what they are. I also liked this one because it does show how things are becoming here in America. It is actually like that pretty much everywhere. When I was in a France airport they had just as much security as America. It is crazy how much security places are starting to have. Makes you feel kind of safe, and annoyed.
