The most insidious form of servitude is that where the slave is kept ignorant of the weight of his own chains. Even a golden cage is still a cage.

The meaning in English would be a mystery to most. In Latin, it could be read by a few folks, but even they wouldn't understand it for the most part.

I encounter very few that would agree, today.

Good quote.
Can anyone explain the comma? It seems redundant for the translation.

  Do they notice, agree or even speak and read English?

    They don't notice. One passenger did and said he likes tsa because it keeps him safe. Sure. Of course in Pittsburgh, when you do a double flip off when you have to go through the scanner, and the gestapo asks if anything will be hurt if she pats down my right knee, and I respond "other than my Constitutional Rights, nothing" they get a little twerked.

      The screeners are like the quiet slaves.
      I was a screener.
      The hierarchy is the problem. You follow their capricious rules or you get fired. The supervisors are there NOT to help the screeners but rather to catch the screeners doing something allegedly wrong so that they can be written up and fired.
      If another screener has a personality conflict with you, that person can falsely accuse you and write you up and you have NO recourse.
      It is a jail.
      I think that TSA should be eliminated and it be privatized.

        I though she was going to hit me. That would have been very interesting. The lady in line next to me couldn't figure out which was to run in her stocking feet.

        Private would be really nice. I'm sure the last time I went through Denver, and I had pre-check, that most of the people in the serpentine lines were mooing.
