We’re quickly heading into the abyss. I’m serious. I offer the story you’ll read below as a mere anecdote in a sea of troubles.

On return from a recent trip to Sri Lanka Mark and I traveled through Australia. Proceeding through the cattle stop that is “customs” we then met with the “security screeners”. These are the folks allegedly protecting us from attackers armed with nail clippers and toothpaste.

The first thing we saw was a giant sign that said refusing to undergo a body scan would result in detention. Mark, seeing this and having never been “body scanned” was immediately taken aback. Sure enough, he was singled out to be the random subject.

Fortunately he was prepared… “I’m sorry. I have a medical condition that precludes me from the scanner.” To which the security woman said, “Sure, OK no problem, come through here (metal detector) instead.”

I on the other hand, tired, unprepared and not thinking much about it had no such response. Instead I suggested, “Just go ahead and give me the pat down, I don’t mind.”

I was told to dutifully sit down and wait for a “supervisor”. Fifteen minutes later the supervisor came over to “educate” me because, well, clearly I’m uneducated. I was handed an official document prepared by the Department of Infrastructure and Transport.

Flipping through it I was struck by the psychology being used. Now I’ve read a wee bit about psychology over the years, as it’s of interest to me. After all the financial markets are really just a collective aggregation of millions of people acting, and being acted upon. It’s psychology in a test tube.
