What are kids/criminals using liquid nail for????? Seem like some pretty industrious criminals to me.

Some kids will use it to get high.

You guys know that those invasive xrays have been discredited as being useless. And they wouldnt have stopped many of the previous attacks. But dont let that stop the government from wasting money and forcing its citizens to use it.

Watch this video. Its german, but it shows just how easy it is. And this guy wasnt even really trying. He got thermite, several other "vials", and a DETONATOR past. Yes i know it wasnt an airport, and his coat would have been xrayed, but he wasnt even trying. There are many other "orifices" where stuff could be hidden. Heck i wouldnt be surprised if a terrorist had explosives surgically implanted

I haven't been to an airport in 15 years and have no intention of ever going there again. Being xrayed, frisked, undressed, and generally disrespected just isn't worth it!

I go for the free prostate checks.

Sorry, bad joke.

Something I learned for the trucking championships was that USA PATRIOT Act was actually an acronym.


Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.

But of course, the weasels don't want us to call it terrorism anymore because it may hurt someones feelings.

We were told those airport X-rays weren't going to be saved. Then a few months ago there was a big flap about some government agency secretly saving them. Don't know if that was stopped or still going on? Just another example of government lies in the name of security.

I had an opportunity recently to pick up my elderly Dad at a airport. After we exited and got loaded, He had "to go" So he went back in to use the toilet.Meanwhile I see a cop walking my way. He asks what I'm doing, I explain and he says yes I saw you and him , (my dad is a vet with vet plates). Anyways he says sorry you cant wait for him , so I say so I do what?? He says drive around the airport.So take of and drive around once and pull in, he still isn't out, so I continue again
the second time I get some attention.LOL I pull in the next time and he still isn't out, So around again
with full escort. Finally pull in again and he is outside and done. LOL I guess thinking back it makes them look good.But really makes me glad I don't fly . I refuse to give in...
I don't expect special treatment just good ole common sence... Which was lacking.

My wife loves to fly despite all of the new restrictions and old planes etc....I , however, flew for 30 yrs..commercial and private and had my share of close calls and now with the hassels..I hope to never have to fly again but my wife does not share my concerns...I flew for business so she does not have the same experiences and has only flown on vacations in the past...I have to figure a way to convince her it is not worth it and we can drive wherever and forget going abroad...wish me luck...LOL

How many people, and how much traffic, was there at that airport. Do you really think it's right for you to get special treatment and everyone else be inconvenienced for your convenience? You say you don't expect special treatment? But the fact that you didn't get it makes you say common sense was lacking.

 

[looknlearn]

With all that I hear you have to go through to get on an airplane and then fly in a plane... I just don't think I want to do that, but I hope to go abroad sometime. I've thought maybe somehow getting a ride on a ship or a job on one and get off on another continent. I don't know how feasible that is now-a-days. Although it may be just as bad as a plane.

Three other cars on the curbside drop off at the time . I said I didnt expect special treatment . ("I don't expect special treatment just good ole common sence... Which was lacking.")Just that it would have made more sense to have had the 'cop' stay there for a few minutes. He returned to the came spot on the sidewalk.I don't blame him he has orders and procedures and these days they are to scared to take any responsibility.And I don't blame them. He did what was right to do. I was just stating how it became "suspicious."
