Yeah, my son thought the combat gear and machine guns were extremely cool, of course, but it makes me sad. Before 9-11 there were no heavily-armed soldiers patrolling the
Eiffel Tower, no handbag checks at La Sainte-Chapelle, no airport body scans, and no problem bringing home a couple bottles of Bordeaux in your carry-on.
Comme c'est dommage.
"Comme c'est dommage" sums it up just about perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing that our kids don't know what it was like before-- that you could walk up to the gate of an airport to greet people, walk into a stadium without being searched, and go see monuments without armed guards. :(
ReplyDeleteThat is sad, isn't it? So far, the police are still not carrying guns in Oslo, but I suppose we'll see...
ReplyDeleteToo often travel, instead of broadening the mind, merely lengthens the conversation.
