The majority chose to go along with it and now all Americans are obliged to go along with – assuming they want to be allowed to get on a commercial flight. They must stand in long lines before being processed as if they'd just been arrested for a serious crime. They are required to either go through a scanning apparatus or be physically patted down by a government warder.  Their possessions are rifled through and they are generally regarded with suspicion and know they dare not give voice to outrage, lest they be taken to a room nearby for further interrogation. It is just as if they were being processed into a jail only without having committed (and been convicted of having committed) a crime to warrant it.

All because the majority chose to go along with it when they had the option – most of them – not to. Had they chosen not to, it is probable we would be able to board a commercial flight today without first having to be processed like criminals. But it was too inconvenient for people to forgo a trip to Disneyland for a few months. So now it's set in cement that everyone who wants to fly commercially must accept being processed like a criminal.

Five years ago, the same option was presented in a different context. People had the choice to play Sickness Kabuki for the sake of convenience – or refuse to. Once again, a majority chose to go along with it. They donned "masks" that made it appear they agreed with the narrative that a very deadly virus was afoot; one so deadly gyms had to be closed down but Wal-Mart was open for business. They put "masks" on their kids. They accepted being treated as presumptive Typhoid Marys by teenaged door minders at supermarkets and even by their own friends and family members. All because most of them didn't want to be inconvenienced or "contentious" – meaning they chose to be obsequious and submissive in the face of unprecedented idiocy and tyranny.

Another choice faces Americans in about five months from now – when the 2027 model year arrives. Per federal law, all new 2027 model year vehicles will be required to have some iteration of "drowsy" or "distracted/impaired" driving abatement "technology." It will take the form – initially – of eye-movement monitors that tie in with software programmed to recognize – according to the programmed-in parameters – when a driver is not paying attention to the road or nodding off. Initially, this will trigger visual/audible warnings to get the driver to pay attention. The assumption, of course, is that the parameters are in congruence with detecting actually drowsy/distracted/impaired driving. It will be of a piece with the assumption that everyone who wants to board a commercial flight is a presumptive criminal – a "terrorist" – until the government is satisfied he is not and that everyone was a presumptive "asymptomatic spreader" during the so-called "pandemic."
