Throughout the reading of this article I kept waiting for the judge to ask the most pointed question: Does your Christianity affect the way you view people who practice Wicca?
The woman was wronged by those around her, her employers seemed to surround her with falsehoods and accepted the lies of her fellow employees. In any workplace situation there are ways of driving people out, setting them up to fail, and this is what I see took place here.
The Transportation Safety people (TSA) have been shown to hire some of the most ignorant applicants if you consider the number of lawsuits pending. If you fly anywhere in the US you would understand that statement. Every passenger is viewed as a criminal and thus Homeland Security provides us with nothing viable except an expense.
We would be better off with a troop of monkeys searching the baggage, unless of course you happened to be a banana salesman. Wicca is a personal belief system, much like Buddhism. This incident only proves how a Christian based society oppresses people.
Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read. (Sir Francis Bacon 1561-1626)
