Auntie Charo's Soapbox

There was a lotta hoopla about the cameras and listening equipment at the airport towards the end of this week. Everybody that's anybody didn't want to lay claim to knowing anything about it....like.....the last head tenant didn't know anything about it and the new head tenant doesn't know anything about it and the dude at TSA either doesn't know anything about it or he tells tall tales.....either way, the equipment was 'live' as in 'hooked up' when it was being dismantled.
I'm sure that the there were listeners and watchers at the other end and that 'someone' knows who they are but the timing thingy isn't right at this juncture....gads, with the toxins and stuff going on at Tiyan, there's just too much to handle with the press and all and I note that the lady with the long name hasn't been calling the talk shows with the answers to the various questions lately, just the man with the twenty-five cent words.
I'm thinking that the cameras and listening device were trained and aimed at the customs area because not so many years ago, there were some sticky fingered custom officers who were removing things that weren't theres from tourist handbags.......okay.....go back to your files, PDN, it's all there...and....it happened several times....so it's really likely that the camera/listening device were placed there to make sure that the custom guys/gals were not tempted to grab what wasn't theirs.......period....and years later.....the cure for what ailed the division was discovered.........and now that it's been removed.....you can probably predict that in the not too distant future, we'll be hearing about tourists missing their favorite yen/won, digital cameras, et cetera.........but then......I could be wrong........there's hope, no?
