“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
XRAY The LIDERTEES?
Exploring the controversy surrounding the introduction of x-ray machine at airports. Apparently in response to several attempted terrorist attacks on airplanes, governments around the world rushed through legislation allowing x-ray machine security at many airports regardless of health fears. Not only did this increase public anxiety and anger but also the stocks of companies manufacturing the x-ray equipment. Given these x-ray machines picture passengers virtually naked, they are also an invasion of privacy and decency. Curiously, all these security lapses where strange terrorist attempts happened, occurring at airports under the ‘watchful’ eye of the same security company. No questions asked.
