This is not satire, so just wipe that grin off your face right now. Or that’ll be a cavity search.
Any facial tic or expression might get you in trouble the next time you head for the gate at a US airport. Hundreds of lackeys are being deployed to visually screen passengers for suspicious facial expressions. The occifers will be looking for “micro-expressions” such as raised brows and downturned lips. Working in pairs, they’ll swoop in and remove the passenger for interrogation.
Think I’m kidding, wiseacre? The TSA is rushing in the “Behavior Detection Officers” announced in a 2006 press release and you can find these pricks at an airport near you, snapping on the latex gloves as we speak.
So let’s take a look at the US scorecard:
SECRET PRISONS & DETENTION CAMPS: CHECK
ABILITY TO BE “DISAPPEARED”: CHECK
“LEGALIZED” TORTURE: CHECK
PUNISHMENT FOR THOUGHT CRIMES: BAM! NOW WE GOT IT!
CIVIL LIBERTIES: NEGATORY
That’ll be all. Thank you.
