For reasons of security, you will be subjected to the following humiliations.

I was considering a rant here about paranoia, lack of proportion and the arrogance with which the citizen is compensated for being inconvenienced with patronising platitudes about security, but I think that my opinions are nicely summed up by this comic.

i would rant here in your stead but i seem to have run out of effort.

I also dont know who to blame more, the governments, or the airlines who thought it was easier just to strand their customers rather then even try and run a service.

Suffice to say that not content wth keeping me fomr my own engagement party, easyjet have seen fit not to return any money for the flights i am unable (and have no need) to take due to being stranded in the wrong country.

If everyone was grounded i would have understood, but swiss and other people seem to have managed fine, easyjet just gave its staff a couple of days off.
