CATSA . They were bigger and stronger but they agreed that they were wrong !

Canadian Air Transport Security Authority have agreed that their operatives were wrong to confiscate my perfumes . ( Original story Power Corrupts here )
Apparently they did not follow the procedures that they should have and therefore I have been compensated for my loss .
Here is their final letter on the subject which is now closed .
It took a letter and an hour on the phone but I do feel that they did their best to deal with the situation .

    I'm sorry that you and your family had such a hard time with airport security. Please come and join us at Boycott Flying ... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boycott-Flying/126801010710392

    We have been researching this idiotic agency for the past several months, and things are only going to get far worse, if we don't stand up and collectively fight them.

    In the US, TSA/DHS has already implemented these searches on public highways, at the Super Bowl, train stations, bus stations, and subway stations. Plans are in place to further deploy them to transit stations, all sporting events, all public gatherings, shopping malls, and even our children's schools. We soon won't be able to go anywhere, or do anything, without having an x-ray or grope first.

    Now, with the new border merger, these same tactics will soon be coming to Canada. Harper and Obama have also signed an agreement that our military forces are now interchangeable, which means that we Canadians can be arrested on our own soil by US military patrolling here.

The S.T.EN. Gun

“ We will never surrender !” France fell to the German Blitzkrieg in May 1940 . The retreating British Army ended up being rescued from the beaches of Dunkirk by a flotilla of little ships leaving behind much of their equipment . A German invasion was expected ! Winston Churchill the British prime minister made his famous “ we will fight them on the beaches – we will never surrender ! “ speech and the Battle of Britain was on ! The UK desperately needed submachineguns . The Government ordered well made expensive Thompsons from the still neutral United States but there was never enough available . In order to rapidly equip a sufficient fighting force to counter the threat of invasion , the Royal Small Arms Factory , Enfield ( North London ) was commissioned to produce an alternative quickly and in large numbers . Whats in a name S.T.En. There Major R. V. Shepherd OBE and Mr. Harold John Turpin came up with the Design which became...

Bonny and Clyde and the Browning Automatic Rifle

Bonnie and Clyde and the BAR ! Clyde Barrow, holding a Browning automatic rifle. BAR's could fire a twenty-shot magazine loaded with armor-piercing ammunition in under three seconds. During the depression of the 1930's in the USA criminals were looked at in a different way by many of the people who had been victimized and impoverished by the rich bankers and the emerging powerful corporations. Many people saw them as people driven to the edge that were only taking back what was stolen from them and striking back at a society and Government that let the Depression cause so much harm to so many . Two of the most famous criminals of that time were Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow . They were known to be quite skilled with their weapons, and unlike most criminals, they practiced with them and maintained them . Sadly they are considered to be responsible for the deaths of at least Nine law enforcement officers and five civilians during...

CHARM - Why I had to act !

As everybody who knows me is aware I am pretty passionate about the victims of war , particularly those ordinary decent people who are called upon to take to arms when one group of people end up fighting another for a cause often nothing whatsoever to do with most of the individual people who end up doing the fighting .    " Theirs not to reason why theirs but to do or die " as I believe Tennyson put it ! As I have become older and possibly wiser  I have become less motivated by personal wealth and aggrandizement and more motivated into what would give meaning to my life - what can I do for others - how would things be different and better because of my own existence .  "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." John F. Kennedy   As a minor student of history I came to realize how lucky my generation was in relation to others of the past and how the curse of war absolutely dominates the historical narrative thr...
