What information did you reveal? That you thought China would be fun?
Jeez this is verging on some conspiracy theory where you disclosing the fact that you had fun/thought you may have fun implicates you in someones murder.
Either you answer the question with a nondescript answer "I like China" or you're just being a dick.
Reminds me of the idiotic thinking of Richard Stallman.
I have no time for 'principled' martyr type people who cut off their nose to spite their face.
The statement was not a polite version of the original. It offered additional information.
You may not see any problems with it, nor agree with the article's assertions. That is your choice. Equally the "dick" is allowed to tell them it is none of their business - though I think my (slightly more) polite version would be better.
Agreed. It's usually the public acting like dicks to security staff. They're doing a job. They're providing security theatre so that idiots feel safer.
The security theater was introduced after 9/11, for whatever real reason, and I think it would be really difficult to find evidence of the public actually asking for it. It's strange you claimed it did.
It's pretty difficult to believe it makes anyone feel safer, and if it does, it's comparable to believing in "change you can believe in".
