watching the news is kind of like being hit with a small pillow repeatedly while melting your brain

ok so i just made the mistake of watching the news...

they did a story about border control in the us where they tested nine different major entry points with fake id's and absolutely none of them caught the fakes so then they took the fakes to a bartender and hid them within a stack of real id's to see if he could tell the difference and he picked out the fakes almost instantly

don't you think that this fucking country's ridiculous fascination with security would lead us to have better use of knowledge about whether an id is real or not in border control than a fucking bartender has making sure that kids don't get a fucking beer

not to say that i agree with hightened border control or anything but i mean i shitton of money has been spent on hightened security measures and they still aren't any better at spotting forged documents and get beat by a bartender when it comes down to telling whether or not an id from their own country is actually real

that's just a bit fucked

i mean seriously isn't that a person's job as a customs agent to make sure that documents are valid

what else do they do

maybe they just get paid to sit in a box and stamp things just for shits and giggles

and in that case i think we should all become customs agents cuz that sounds like a fucking easy party

stamping shit and waiving people through all willy nilly

woo hooooooooooooooo

actually that would be kinda fun cuz you could totally mess with people all day long and hell if you care cuz you don't know shit

i think i'd pick out something like a shirt everyday and just pull everyone over that had that shirt on

we should just switch the customs agents with the bar bouncers and that way i could buy some brew and these hightened security measures wouldn't be such a joke

i really don't actually give a shit about border security i just thought it funny that its harder for me to buy a beer than it is to sneak into the us with fake documents

if it were easier for me to buy beer than i probably wouldn't have even bothered writing this

although it is fucked

haha everything is so ridiculous

peace
