Hmm
The news.
The news in pictures.
Pictures are pretty clear.
They say a lot.
Video, shows more.
Do either tell it all ?

Welcome to Vancouver International Airport.
Home of intensive good behaviour.
Before you walk in,
you are being watched.
-we all know it-
-but are you ?-
Humans from all over the World.
Most Languages can be heard,
at Vancouver 'International' Airport.
TouchDown ! You're here !
Nobody is here to meet you,
you do not speak our language,
nobody else seems to either.
- hard to believe -

All kinds of Security !
-3 different levels, at least-
No help whatsoever.
So it Seems...

A man, being filmed with a hand held Camera.
International Airport Arrivals, one more door and your free to go.
Seems to be building a barricade.
In front of the last door out,
his movements keep the doors opening and closing
A lady tries to talk to him.
He does not understand.
'seems foreign'
Why is he building a barricade with rolling chairs ?
-to keep himself in ?-
He looks pretty harmless.
After a while,
He starts to take the barricade down.
Moving the chairs back to where he found them.
-nobody else can be seen in the whole glassed in area with him-
-international arrivals-
Now he looks confused.
Like an exotic cat tamer,
He holds a wooden stool.
He decides to throw it,
Against a glass wall.
-Well, that did it.-
Here comes 'Security'
With 'radios' in their ears.
They don't try to talk to him...
Just keep him where he is.
The man begins to look a little panicked.
Fear.
Still, nobody will try to communicate with him.
The man shouts in his language.
Alone on the sea, as it were.
'Real' security enforcement marches into the building.
Intimidation and agression, all business.
-this is an airport and here is a strange man.
He has built a barricade at the exit door to International Arrivals, in a 'security' zone after passing zee inspecktor zone,
no one has tried to walk out the barricaded door since filming began...-
Acknowledgement back and forth
The man is surrounded by our 'Real' Security Force.
True to 'Hollywood', without further ado,
The man is taken down.
-takes four 'security' to hold him down,
even after they 'zapped' him.-
The man's painful moans subside.
A videotape ends.
The man, died.

Emotion.
Pictures.
Reality?
-Frightening-
Resigned.

I don't watch TV.
I looked for this video
Watched it.
-rest well assured that we will never see the airport film(s)-

All systems failed a test, leaving fatal consequences
and way too many embarrassing questions in it's wake.
Will anybody involved, or those who should have been,
Stand-up and take some responsibility for what happened ?

There will be 'inquiries'
All bent out of shape.

The dead man's Mother, has become a 'trainwreck'.
I'm sure she will find all the help she may want.
And then some.
Its going to cost all of us another fortune.
-we, by eventually paying for the 'mishap', condone it.-

-will the real problems be looked at ? -

Intimidation, miscommunication, misunderstanding,
arrogance, incompentence and embarrassment.
-remember APEC pepper spray ? Nothing has changed-
Security at all levels,
-except, it seems, Customs-
Outwitted by a Foreign language.
An 'Olympic Host' city's International Airport.
hmm Security.

'security fees':
-thanks George-
imposed on all travellers by
the airport Authority,
Several levels of Government,
and all of the Airlines.
-some humongous dollar amount-
Look what we got !

Fire Them All !

Start Again, this model does not work.


well ?
