Secede with your travel
What does that mean? “Secede with your travel?”
Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the traditional most traveled day for Americans. The day before Thanksgiving is an important travel day, but there are more traditional travel days coming up during the holiday season. So… what does “Secede with your Travel mean?”
It means that Texans can stay at home and avoid being led into a legalized peep show and then groped by TSA employees in an effort to thwart terrorism. Seems to me much of that is a waste of time and money
when all you need to entertain yourself is right here in Texas. And if your out of state relatives want to visit, let them get ‘backscattered’ and groped on their way to visit you.
The Israeli’s think our security folks have lost their minds. They are located right there among all the terrorist nations, and they don’t mindlessly submit their grandmothers to such searches. Yes, they do use sophisticated technology, but in a much different way.
There is a profile for terrorists. We know at this point primarily where they come from, their ethnicity, what they look like, the languages they speak…and their religion. And yes, the FBI has profiles on our own homegrown terrorists. Of course, the Homeland Security leadership also think our nation’s veterans and Tea party members fit the profile. It’s all bassackwards right now and I’m not falling for any of it.
It’s really all out of whack and I wouldn’t book a flight and be subjected to such searches for any reason. My right knee is titanium and it immediately sets off the alarms when going through the metal detector. We’ve all seen what comes next after that happens. I’m just afraid I could not help but make a comment when being groped except it would be a Real Texas version of “Don’t touch my junk”.
It is my sincere hope the TSA officials ‘get it right’ at some point and are able to protect air travelers with a minimum of invasive tactics. Until then……..I am an official ‘no fly’ zone.
Seceding with your travel could be part of the answer. Yes, I have more suggestions on Virtual Seccession, but that is another post for another time. It’s all gelling in my mind right now.
It really means that you can have a wonderful time, visit nearly any geographical region you have a preference for, all without leaving the Great State.
As any Real Texan knows, Texas has what you are looking for: A great group of coastal cities and activities, mountains, deserts, plains, forests, lakes, rivers, great cities, symphonies, theaters, productions, and an array of activities limited only by your imagination.
You can take the kids on a hayride instead of a plane ride. Just plan it and do it.
And most Real Texans think absolutely nothing of driving 6 hours to get to a football game and also they would think nothing of driving that same 6 hours to visit Big Bend or The Majestic Theater in San Antonio on a holiday weekend. So, before you plan that out of state trip that requires you to check all common sense at the airport gate, submit to mindless searches and invasions of privacy, why not just enjoy Texas and all it has to offer?
All peace of mind takes is a little advance planning.
I’m David out in Real Texas
Grateful to be Texan this Thanksgiving Season

Something that keeps running through my warped mind is that if I were to approach one of those xray machines at the Airport, I would have to start humming the theme song from The Stripper and begin to bump and grind. If you could get all the people in line to join in it seems like a great idea. Probably miss my flight but it seems worth it.
Well said David. The government think they own us.
