Yep, that would be him. I remember Eloy...good times. That was a magical year for FLL, the right places, right attitudes, etc. Now A-ron is at USAFA, being a free jump whore, Daledo is married and in Oki. Laing and I still abide, although he had a bout with captain colon and recently a broken ankle. Oh well...time to fly again. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

As of tonight, it sounds like FFL (minus chickenman who is in Okinawa or who knows where) will be there. I am in, as is Laing, Boy Wonder is trying to finalize the flight into Easterwood. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Actually, I dont think I said a single thing about you. I voiced my opinions in response to your comment about rights not being involved in the original post. It's all about me...the member of a the collective we. After all I am a conservative republican. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I believe the point he was trying to make was in relation to your commenting about death rather then sacrifice a right. I believe is point was, and I agree, that boarding an airplane undeterred is not a right. Think about the procedure upon arrival at a new dropzone. Then think about the procedure upon arrival if you are foreign and have no USPA license. A bit more scrutiny, perhaps? I think his point was that you have no right to undeterred boarding. No more right than you do to jump without presentation of papers and full inspection of gear. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Jeffrey...excellent words, excellent! I hate to make this post, because I swore of arguing on this forum a year or two ago. But I passed this story on to a number of people the other day, because I found it really disturbing. So, I will share a few words, in case anyone appreciates them. After this story came out, a handful of 'sceptics' have been really nitpicking the ability to recount detail in the manner that Jacobsen did. I think this is foolish as she is a paid writer, she has better than average command of details. However, I feel the real issue has nothing to do with her account of detail. If her story were 90% embellishment, the question remains: How are we prepared to react in a perceived threat? I am very glad this turned out with everyone safe, but was the reaction sufficient to stop a different outcome? Obviously the air marshalls are unofficially using racial profiling to put higher numbers on flights like the one in question. However, they are not authorized to take action, until a significant action triggers it. Furthermore, the tidbit about airlines being unable to put more than 2 middle eastern passengers through secondary screening on a flight without facing fines seems abhorrent to me. I read a great deal of material last night on this story, and I am left with a few conclusions: Based on accounts from people in the airline industry, the system is being tested, and frequently. Jacobsen's story is not unique We are confusing profiling with racism: almost all enforcement agencies in the world use profiling as an effective tool. There is a huge difference between using a profile to initiate a further verification of an individual's actions and taking indiscriminate action based on a stereotype. In the end, every person must be vigilant for their own protection and blow a whistle if something seems amiss. A citizen who is offended is still alive Most citizens that I associate with, of any ethnicity, would gladly be profiled and then verified if that was the result of a vigilant system. The bottom line seems blatantly obvious to me: Many people are more immediately concerned with a lawsuit of politically correct racial behavior than the possibility of catastrophic events. It seems like 2 years later, the 2,752 deaths are not an immediate reminder. I fear complacency will be a major factor in the next attack. People have mentioned the second amendment. It says probable cause. We could debate that for a long long time. I think we have probable cause. Secondly, do anyone of you know the classification that Syria has as a nation state with the US? Do a bit of research and find out. After you do, evaluate how we should consider passports from that nation state status. Thirdly, as I mentioned above briefly, I think the larger question is our response. Everyone is drawing the conclusion that the 'appropriate' action stopped things. I think that is false logic. Just because nothing happened does not mean we caused that. I believe nothing was intended to happen. Someone wanted to know, "If we act really blatant and test the system, more so than we ever would in an attack, what will they do?" Know thy enemy... It is a no lose situation...nothing happens and you know you are successful. Or you get accosted, have no record, and sue to make money to feed your cause." Unlikely? You do know the James Woods story? http://prisonplanet.com/transcript_actor_james_woods.html It has been confirmed. You are also aware that foreign parties made money on inside trading before the events of 9/11 directly related to that disaster? I truly think the system is being probed. Ask any in law enforcement or military about probing a target. Just because the first probe is not an attack hardly means everything is secure. It is often the opposite. Ask a few people in the industry, see what they say. Research this for a day or two...there are a lot of pilot and flight attendent organzanizations corroborating this type of behavior even if not this particular story. An intriguing question, who has the rights described in the constitution? Citizens of Syria? These were not American citizen's folks. As I mentioned above, research the status of Syria as a nation state with the government. Post what you find. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Yeah, rockin times. AggieDave barfed like a small child after eating too many Gerber peas and carrots. There was also a rattlesnake that some drunken assclown picked up. A couple cute looking freeflyer chicks, some of the most daring (read as STUPID) beacon climbing I have ever seen. And that was just Saturday night. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Bumped into this, apparently the guy was a great stuntman. He jumped 1200 feet in the 70s off the CN tower in toronto, once with a cable system (which is popularized instead of airbags) and once with a concealed chute he deployed at 300 feet. cool pic: http://www.the-rocketman.com/Dar_large.jpg Anyone know any more? -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Here are a few pics from altitude. The scenery is gorgeous. The lake is just far enough you dont need water gear

Just FYI, we just got Miller Brewing as a sponsor. You know what that means. Seriously, I am totally stoked for this boogie. We will be making any freeflyers at home, with a place to chill, test the tarp, and even spin some old LPs. We will have RW, Freefly, anyone that wants to fall. Some of the POPs boys will have some PCs in the air. This should be an awesome boogie all the way around. Balloon loads are supposed to be very near confirmation.

Thanks Stefan. Maybe she is just busy. Hard to believe that a BASEr and jumper would just stop? I imagine looks like that keep her prety busy. I mean I would...um...yeah....back to server maintenance. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Well, never mind, the FARKers farked it up already. Here is a directory listing for fun after the server revives: http://users.pandora.be/tomdeboeck/Tanja/Tanja/ You can see it now, just cannot get to the pics. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I dont know about PLayboy Extreme Sport, but she was in some European edition of Playboy. As for 2 more: I have a link with 500. Don't FARK it up, I still need to browse some: http://users.pandora.be/tomdeboeck/Tanja/pics.htm -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I found this girl totally on accident browsing FARK boobies linkage. Then I notice some suspension lines, then I look a bit farther and find out she jumps and BASEs. WOW....no team member, will start negotiations on Monday. Just like anything on the net, you might consider it NSFW -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Or better yet, how about furry condoms? Would those sell? Or what if you took a beaver and shaved it....oh never mind. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

You have never seen a baby telephone poll? Have you?! Why? Because staple guns don't have mandated trigger locks!!! That's why!!! -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

What I gotta wonder is if the squirrel would fit in a regular size condom? Maybe a small squirrel? -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.
