Security streamlined at Brac airport to reduce congestion
(CNS): A new security checkpoint at the Charles Kirkconnell International Airport (CKIA) on Cayman Brac designed to reduce congestion is now up and running, according to the Cayman Islands Airport Authority. This upgraded facility will streamline passenger flow through the Central Security Search area, which will address the congestion at the security screening point, the CIAA said, and the advanced dual-view screening equipment has already reduced the number of bag searches.
Because there will be fewer physical searches, the screening process will be quicker and more efficient. Additional equipment is expected in the coming weeks to enhance the CIAA’s capabilities further, the release said.
“At the CIAA, our top priority is ensuring a safe, efficient, and enjoyable experience for all travellers. The completion of the new Security Checkpoint at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport represents a significant step forward in achieving this goal,” said CKIA Airport Manager Joshua Burke. “With state-of-the-art technology and streamlined processes, we are proud to offer passengers a more effortless journey through the airport.”
The enhancements align with international security standards and regulations, reinforcing the CIAA’s commitment to delivering a safe, seamless and efficient journey for all travellers while offering world-class airport services, the release said.
“The CIAA extends its gratitude to passengers for their patience and cooperation during the construction period and looks forward to better serving its passengers and enhancing the passenger experience at the new CKIA Security Checkpoint,” CIAA officials stated.

Re: A Commendation of Excellence in the Art of Democratic Dismantling
Your Excellency,
I write to you today with nothing short of awe and admiration for the sheer brilliance, bravery, and unwavering dedication of your esteemed services in sapping the processes and trust in democracy of the Cayman Islands. It is not often that one witnesses such an exquisite display of political sabotage executed with such surgical precision—a masterpiece of governance by erosion rather than action.
The strategic excellence of your leadership in ensuring the disenfranchisement of a large portion of the electorate is nothing short of Absurdistani perfection. The volume and quality of misinformation, the artful suppression of voter participation, the garrison-style politics, the backroom dealings, and the omnipresent specter of corruption—all of it is executed with a level of finesse that rivals the most time-honored traditions of your homeland.
Your commitment to:
• Runaway cost of living that ensures the electorate is too busy surviving to scrutinize leadership
• Fiscal irresponsibility of such grandeur that even the numbers themselves weep in confusion
• Dead-on-arrival programs that consume endless resources but produce nothing but empty headlines
• Infrastructure projects that exist only as fantastical sketches, destined never to see the light of reality
…is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
A Takeover Without a Single Bullet Fired
Who, indeed, needs an armed invasion when the very guardrails of governance can be disassembled from within? While lesser minds waste resources on war, you and your operatives have proven that a nation can be conquered with bureaucracy, incompetence, and a sustained campaign of reality distortion. The Cayman Islands may still fly its own flag, but the spirit of Absurdistan reigns supreme.
And now, the pièce de résistance! The timing of this noble Anti-Sexual Harassment Bill—conveniently released right before the election, ensuring it serves as both a shield and a distraction for the far more insidious legislative maneuvers lurking beneath its shadow. Will it receive the hours-long, fire-and-brimstone debates that once graced the Civil Unions Bill for same-sex couples?
Will the hallowed halls of Parliament once again become a sanctuary of divine revelation, where devout statesmen, so overcome with religious ecstasy, filibuster with monologues so convoluted that even the stenographers lose the will to live?
Will the parliamentary microphones struggle to withstand the sheer force of the ‘Amens’ and ‘Hallelujahs’ echoing from both sides of the political arc, as the sacred ritual of speechifying reaches its fevered crescendo?
And, as the final, inevitable climax approaches, will the chamber erupt in uncontrollable tears of pious delirium, voices breaking as they cry out:
“Praise the Lord! The Good Book! And its chosen messiah—the Great Spaghetti Monster!”
For indeed, what is a legislative session without deep theological discourse, where scripture is wielded not as moral guidance but as a procedural bludgeon, sanctifying every incoherent argument with the divine authority of celestial pasta?
A Standing Ovation from Absurdistan’s Disciples
Let it be known that the people of the Cayman Islands, knowingly or not, now bear witness to a political landscape molded in your image—a landscape where:
• Democracy is an illusion, upheld only by tradition and a few well-placed press releases.
• The civil service functions not to serve, but to perpetuate its own inefficiencies.
• The public’s faith in governance is so eroded that, eventually, no one will bother resisting at all.
Your Excellency, I raise my pen in salute to your unparalleled contributions to the cause of democratic dysfunction! You are, without question, a statesman of unparalleled ingenuity, a master of bureaucratic conquest, and an unrivaled patron of Absurdistani excellence.
But let us not ignore the pièce de résistance of this operatic disaster:
THE PREMIER’S REGAL PERFORMANCE
For no great Absurdistani deception would be complete without a visual masterpiece to immortalize the moment! And thus, we bear witness to Premier Juliana, resplendent in ceremonial robes so catastrophic that even the most reckless designers of the 1950s would deny paternity.
Draped in what can only be described as an unholy fusion of vintage upholstery and discarded window treatments, she stands before the people, her ornate sleeves catching on microphones, her train sweeping up stacks of unread legislation as she proclaims governance with the solemnity of an emperor bestowing laws upon a populace too bewildered to resist.
Let us examine the aesthetic masterpiece of this moment:
• A flowing gown so stiff with historical misdeeds that it holds shape without support—a relic of an era long past, when the fashion of political absurdity demanded bulk, brocade, and blind commitment to excess.
• Gold tassels, extravagant embroidery, and brooches of questionable origin, each symbolizing a legislative promise destined to be quietly forgotten.
• A ceremonial scepter, salvaged from a discarded bedpost, grasped with the assuredness of one who wields power solely because no one has yet mustered the will to take it away.
• And at last, the Crown of Legislative Chaos, forged from upcycled doilies, floral curtains, and sheer, unrelenting ego—a headpiece so magnificent that it ensures all who gaze upon it will struggle to recall the last time governance made sense.
As she speaks, the parliamentary chamber echoes not with policy debate, but with the resounding murmurs of ‘Amen!’ and ‘Hallelujah!’—for what is governance if not a test of faith?
And should the bill not pass? Surely, the Great Spaghetti Monster of Pastafarianism will intercede, its noodly appendages stirring the pot of legislative absurdity, ensuring that no matter the outcome, confusion, contradiction, and inefficiency shall reign supreme.
With boundless admiration and deepest respect,
The Secretary to the Almighty Ambassador of Absurdistan , Devout follower of Pastafarianism.

Re: The Grand White Elephant of Cayman Brac & the Great Residency Dilemma
Your Excellency,
I write once more to apprise you of the ever-evolving operatic masterpiece that is Cayman Brac’s great infrastructure saga—a tale so laced with bureaucratic acrobatics, spiraling budgets, and performative ambition that it could only be the work of a government fully committed to the Absurdistani tradition.
Let us marvel at the latest act in this glorious production:
The Airport: A Grandstreamlining of… Nothing?
Ah, the security “streamlining” at Charles Kirkconnell International Airport—a magnificent step toward efficiently processing the existing trickle of passengers! No doubt, this upgrade was absolutely vital to handle the rush-hour pandemonium of… what, two flights per day?
And yet, it seems this overhaul was not simply about security but about anticipating the grand influx of traffic that will surely materialize once the Great White Elephant—the island’s new high school—opens its hallowed doors.
But alas! We arrive at the true heart of the debacle.
The Staffing Conundrum: A Crisis of Accommodation & Ego
The forthcoming school, already ballooning past $60 million in projected costs, was initially planned with an accommodation block for the construction workforce—a temporary solution that, in a true stroke of fiscal genius, shall be repurposed into lodging for visiting sports teams.
But here, dear Excellency, lies a tragic oversight of Absurdistani proportions.
Did they truly believe for one second that the esteemed educators recruited to fill these vacancies would deign to share quarters with mere athletes? That these paragons of academia would accept such pedestrian living conditions when their colleagues on Grand Cayman reside in quarters more befitting of their intellectual gravitas?
Perish the thought!
The Real Demand: A Palace for the Pedagogues
Mark my words, Your Excellency, the educators of this noble institution will not settle for a repurposed dormitory! No, they shall demand what is rightfully owed to them:
• A separate, state-of-the-art residence, boasting the architectural excesses of a 15-bedroom mansion, because nothing fosters learning quite like an infinity pool overlooking the airstrip.
• Private chefs, butlers, and concierge services, ensuring that their delicate constitutions are not burdened with common domestic tasks.
• A fleet of private vehicles—because relying on the island’s existing infrastructure is simply out of the question.
• Personal security details, in case the feral chickens grow too bold in their territorial disputes.
The Great Opening Ceremony: A Date of Pure Speculation
As for when this institution shall finally open its doors? Official timelines suggest 2026, but we, seasoned scholars of Absurdistani affairs, know better. Let us be realistic:
• 2030? Optimistic.
• 2035? Possible, assuming an additional $40 million in unforeseen costs.
• 2040? Ah, now we are within the realm of feasibility.
For what is a local infrastructure project without decades of delays, spiraling costs, and at least one entirely preventable structural failure?
Final Reflections on This Grand Spectacle
Your Excellency, once again we stand in awe of the brilliance on display. The artful inefficiency, the performative decision-making, and the steadfast refusal to acknowledge the inevitable pitfalls of this project—all of it exemplifies the very essence of the influence of Absurdistan and Absurdistani logic reigning on the island!
For truly, what is governance without an exorbitantly expensive, wildly delayed, logistically impossible project that no one asked for, yet everyone is now forced to defend?
With boundless admiration and the deepest appreciation for bureaucratic theater,
The Secretary to the Ambassador of Absurdistan
Master of Infrastructure Delusions, Keeper of the Taxpayer’s Lament, and Chronicler of the Grand White Elephant
Congestion ? Ive only seen 12 people there anyone time lmao 6 of those were staff
They only needed a separate queue for those “lucky” persons who get subjected to the “random” baggage check every time they travel!
What congestion? Having to wait several seconds before being able to walk through security? Okay, well, glad to know the process has been lubricated.
Jesus H You Know Who!! The words “congestion” and Cayman Brac do not go together. There’s hardly anyone living there or going in and out despite the fact they have roads and other facilities that most developed countries would love to have. All they have there is plenty time for inactive public servants to dream up schemes to keep them from dying of boredom.
Congestion you say? Looolllllll.
congestion at brac airport????
the place is a ghost island….that is a huge economic drain on grand cayman.
