Airport Security

The next step of the big brother / or big nanny as I think of it more as, has developed.

 

Now at airports there are plenty of internet places, all costing one pound for ten or fifteen minutes but all equally flawed in that they have disables the control buttons and some even have the environment so far removed from the original explorer that it is hard to use even for an old hand.

 

With forty minutes I barely had time to search and book a hotel near the airport, as it appeared that I would indeed be wanting a room close to the airport. My contact there, being a daugher of Frank's penfriend has been out of touch for a long while and this has meant that I am not staying with them as was the original plan.

 

The fact that they have a surf cyber nanny which blocks a whole range of interesting sights means that you are very limited. I find it a bit of an attack against my civil liberties but then im finding that lots of people really dont care any more if they have any liberties of not.

 

People go on with their lives and chose at the time which laws to break and which laws to abide by, so ideas like free speach dont exist right up until they want to say something - by which time its often too late.

 

This is one reason why travelling is for me becoming a bore, as nothing now can be done on the hoof, and everything has to be done in advance or face the risk of missing out completely - at least

from the UK side of things. Once abroad you are open to a lot more things, if only you can read the lingo and go know what your looking at when you find it.

 

I have been offered to stay over due to the flight being overbooked, so i might do that if it really is a choice, as i dont want to get there at midnight and the hotel might have a better internet.
