PhillyKev 0 #1 November 25, 2003 They've finally gone and done something constructive. Issued a press release advising people to be vigilant over the holiday. Whew...thank you for making us safe Mr. Ridge! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #2 November 25, 2003 You mean you don't feel safer every time you see a 90 year old woman remove her shoes at the airport? Dear Gawd man! What does it take to make you happy?

Taz 0 #3 November 25, 2003 While going through the airport on a domestic flight a few days ago, they made me sit down and put my legs out so they could put the little metal-detector things UP MY PANT LEGS. Now, I haven't been in the US since last year, but I don't remember that ever happening before. I certainly felt no safer after having a cold piece of metal wandering up my trousers. EEEK. Am I allowed to protest? Or are my pants seriously a matter of national security? -TIt's the Year of the Dragon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 226 #4 November 25, 2003 It depends on what you keep in them . . . Bwahahahahahaha....

TheAnvil 0 #5 November 25, 2003 My favorite is the TSA jackass who wanted to take away a Congressional Medal of Honor from a WWII veteran - no pointy objects; dumbass. This is followed closely by the confiscation of the DEA agent's nail clippers - the same agent was carrying a firearm onto the plane! LMFAO. It must HURT to be that stupid.

turtlespeed 226 #7 November 25, 2003 Was it a drug sniffer that they sent up there?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taz 0 #8 November 25, 2003 Dude, not unless they use extremely cold metal detectors to sniff drugs. I was like, it's winter people, can't you at least keep a microwave nearby for these pants searches? But they didn't seem to want my customer service feedback It's the Year of the Dragon.

PhillyKev 0 #9 November 25, 2003 I flew last week. Long wait as they tried to communicate to the deaf woman in front of me to remove her infant from the stroller, and then take off the infants coat and put it through the conveyor belt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Up the chamber you know a real small sset that could have slit some one. but the gun no danger there. _________________________________________ The Angel of Duh has spoke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bodypilot90 0 #12 November 26, 2003 QuoteLMFAO.

I guess he was going for my flashlight, but the area could have loosely been called "crotch." I said, "You have to ask me before you touch me or it's assault." He said, "Once you cross that line, I can do whatever I want." I said that wasn't true. I say that I have the option of saying no and not flying. He said, "Are you going to let me search you, or do I just throw you out?"

The next time someone says they have to stick things in my pants I will feel more empowered to raise hell. At least I'm not the only one who thinks things are a little weird in airports these days...

If they EVER offer disrespect or an attitude such as the one in this story,,,,Do like Penn and call a cop. Screeners don't have SHIT for authority. All they do is sit there and call a cop.
