Fear and Musing in Las Vegas
So I'm visiting Vegas in 2 months , to engage in the fine debauchery that town offers, sans gambling: I lose completely in games of chance.
To get there , I am of course flying. I have not flown in quite some time and generally avoid doing so. This is not due to any terrorist inspired fears, but more my lack of faith in the theories of aerodynamics. I am of the opinion, that flight occurs because a plane's engines trick gravity into believing the plane should not suddenly go down. Every once in a while, gravity wises up to this and planes crash.
Given this, I find it amusing that airport security worries about terrorists, being as gravity is ultimately to blame for plane crashes. Then again, I do find it endlessly amusing to picture Isaac Newton impersonators detained at airport security for being in league with gravity.
I do not much look forward to Airport security, as I have a good amount metal on myself at any given moment. So I'm pretty certain it will take me awhile to get through security. I'm hoping that I don't have to explain that a wallet with the words "Bad Mother Fucker!" in faded print is not some indication of terrorist membership.
I'm considering, as a preemptive measure to compensate myself against such aggravation, of finding the most heinous, horrid, but completely legal, hard core pornography to put on the very top of my backpack, in hope that said security personnel, will be as charred out as I. Most likely, though, it'll get confiscated, so the security individual can take some personal inventory, later.
Better judgment may prevail over that idea, though.
More to come as more occurs to me.
