Seems so far the scanners are working....people just want to get through the lines....Only about 70 airports worldwide have them and only have one...so most people might not even have to deal with them...

Dude, who knows. That CashAndFlash is a drunk. He's a drunkard.

The kid's drunk all the time, so who knows.

Cash I think you agree ..im principle..im all for protecting people...

Im out

Who Dat

That's where I disagree Strat. I think human nature is unchanging and, as such, times don't change.

In other words, bomb a guy's family to smithereens and he'll find a way to kill a few citizens of the country responsible.

All this stuff is just too 1984-ish for my tastes.

Airports suck..is that thought provoking enough....Ive flown all over the world.. which im sure a lot of you have...and i hate most that ive encountered ...if you want to see how when the millitary gets involved ..fly to El Salvadore...your greeted by M16s..and forget about exiting unless you have buisness there...

I had to pay 20 bucks to a cleaning guy to go have a smoke..
I can see where some people will whine over this and thats their god givin right ,,,but if your going to fly just know in advance of what to expect...

I flew back from Paris to N.Y once and went thru living hell to get back into our country ,,my country!..i was singled out for where i had been in Europe.. and for having a guitar ,,which they assumed had something hid.....Times have changed and we are headed for more and more security...I know it sucks ...but just be ready for it and if its that big of a deal ....make other arrangments for your travels..

Thats why i wanted to be a rock star ...where i could own the airplane..

Peace

All I have to say is thanks for writing the darn Blogs... to everyone. Here we have a football website that has grown into something thought provoking. Never in all my years working with the website that I would see intelligent questions of economics, policy, and national security mixed in with good "fart" humor found in some of my blogs. It keeps me glued here.

Thanks Saintfan for writing!!! Thanks cashandflash for adding more thought provoking questions in the comments!!!

"meant for and all"

Yeah, I found that second one yesterday...

honest question...

John Malkovich- "In the Line of Fire"- made a gun out of plastic.

Doesn't anyone else think this is a wild goose chase?

I mean, I understand what the scanners are meant for all, but the whole "war on terror" thing smacks of what I recently heard described in the Economist as "an autistic notion of verisimilitude". These guys want to kill us, and nothing will quell their anger short of stopping the bombing and occupation of their countries, along with placing reasonable conditions that Israel must follow if they are to maintain their status as a de facto protectorate of the US.

I think this is a better demonstration....
