The Saturn V versus the Space Shuttle

There is nothing in common with these two except they both use the VAB and the launch pads.
There are procedures with the Shuttle that were never done on Apollo. Most folks that know the Shuttle equate everything done with the Saturn V. Not so.
In Apollo the people working in one plant never knew that there were more than one plant (there were hundreds). We were never told anything.  If there were communications between plants it was done at the highest levels--probably through Marshall Space Flight Center at Huntsville.  Most of us 400,000 were the Peons in the Pits. There were no cell phones and regular phones were few and far between.  Transistors had not been invented yet so there was no fancy technology.
I was recently asked some questions about procedures.  I had to laugh because it had nothing to do with the Saturn V.
Most of the reason for the lack of information was due to the paranoia of the "communists".
I laugh at "homeland security" and TSA. They have nothing on Apollo.  Have you seen these (name inserted) really find any terrorists? All they do is piss off passengers.  Have you seen old ladies strap on explosives and blow up anything in this country?
Americans are being punished for the horrors of 911.
