Never worry, never fear

Janet Napolitano will soon be here:

“I want to stress, I am respectful and cognizant of the privacy concerns,” she told participants in the Regional Civil Aviation Security Conference, referring to protests against a US drive to use full body X-ray scans at airports.

“Respect for privacy is a value we share. But all countries have unique legal traditions, cultural differences, and political realities.

“I believe that we should not allow these differences to keep us from working toward a common goal and a deep and stronger partnership with respect to security and privacy,” she said. - Breitbart

What in the wide, wide world of sports does this mean? Only use scanners if your sheepish citizens don’t mind too much?

"unique legal traditions" means '"we have a broad law and you can't stop us".
"political realities" means " most people think our rules stop terrorists"
Not sure on "cultural differences" - maybe "in our culture you can't buy your way out of it"?

It sounds like the politicians appearing on the news. We often look at each other ans say, "What was that".

Maybe we can sing Bobby Mc Ferrin's song---- " DON'T WORRY-- BE HAPPY";
and feel good about it. LOL...

She was in the UAE trying out a little political double speak. She can't just ram the scanners down their throats the way they're trying to do it in the US.

She's a duplicitous, lying weasel. In other words, a politician.

I think it refers to "Janet-speak", where it can be twisted around to suit her own needs depending on how she may need to back-pedal or claim that it worked in the future. Sigh!

(Reminds me again - I keep asking myself, how did she get that job?)
