The Creatures from the Black Lagoon of the Reptile Mind

‘The reason they came up with an
underwear bomber is the same reason they came up with a shoe bomber.
First they wanted to get into your shoes and then they wanted to get
into your underwear. After that they want to get into your body. But
job one, day one, they want to get into your head. These are stages of
humiliation designed to strip you of your dignity,

They could have fixed it for Richard
Reid to blow up his foot and they could have fixed it for Abdulmutallab
to blow up his balls but neither of these have the graphic potential of
a suspicious passenger being overpowered on an airliner while weird
shit happens. This way, you know exactly what they want you to know. If
they have to piece it together (pun intended) later it’s a lot

airplane to do it. Saving expense is, of course, not their primary
concern. Their primary concern is putting an image in your mind and
making everyone suspicious of each other.’
