It's 1984...[views:1963][posts:20]______________________________________ [Aug 17,2007 12:25pm - HailAtWork ""] Behavior Detection Officers’ are now watching passengers’ facial expressions for signs of danger. It’s a new level of absurdity for America. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20298840/site/newsweek/?gt1=10252 Aug. 16, 2007 - It was bound to happen. Now even a frown or grimace can get you into trouble with The Man. “Specially trained security personnel” will be watching passengers for “micro-expressions” that will reveal treacherous agendas and insidious intentions at airports around the country. These agents, who may literally hold your fate in their hands have been given a lofty, Orwellian name: "Behavior Detection Officers." |

Failure to be happy is treasonous. The Happiness Officer is being escorted by two burly Internal Security agents. Failure to cooperate will make them very unhappy. As unhappiness is treasonous, making them unhappy is encouraging treason, which - itself - is treasonous. The Computer is your friend! Have a nice day. |
