I think that's the point, it's a joke. I don't think it was supposed to be serious.

anything from the onion is fake....

DREW DAT!!!! Great article...

Very nice..great read..DREW!!!!

PDF much better....

Pherein, I can't read them so well. Do you have them in another format like excel??

Tried to get thru today and they saw my package..now im wanted in porn and for carrying a oversized weapon of mass destruction....

LOL...LOVE the Greyhound line!

You do have alternatives though, and the bus isn't so bad really, but as soon as somebody blows one up the bus terminal will likely feature increased/enhanced security too.

All in good discussion Cash. Have a great Turkey day!

Its all good CHris ...Saintfan...Halo....were all in this together!!

WHO DAT!

you too.. is how it should be spelled. i made an 800 on my SAT verbal, and can't stand when I spell things like I'm 8 years old.

and an apology to you to Mark, and you probably deserve one as well saintfan... I'm going through a tough time trying to move into a new place right now and to say i'm a little jumpy would be an understatement.

VIVA la TSA.

may have misunderstood you there strat/// if so, my bad.

I like O'Reilly, and I think calling it "faux new" is giving in to typical democratic namby-pambyism... bring everyone down to the same childish level of discourse.

I am also a Democrat who approves of the job Obama is doing, though I did vote for Ron paul.

Good luck trying to pigeonhole me.

Its Faux News brainwashing the planet....dont give in ..have your own mind..thats the ones who will survive all this..

nevermind... for some reason the paging is different in two windows in Chrome... just wanted to make sure it got up there. edit doesn't seem to be working.

for some reason my last post isn't coming up when I load it in this window, so I'll cut and paste:

And let me add that I'm not one of the "90%" idiots you allude to in your opening. I do know what the TSA stands for, and I also know that it's under the "department of home(mother/father)land security".

Wrapping this nonsense in patriotic terms would only be enough to fool a palin supporter. And no, that is not just a random "faux news" barb, I actually watch, and enjoy, O'Reilly.

And it's not like I lack the means or the desire to fly. I have been to 15 foreign countries and countless states; I actually drew up a list of the airports I've flown in or out of recently, and it came in right in at 50.

You struck a nerve with this, Saintfan. I'll admit that. But striking a nerve, and being on the right side of an issue, are two different things.

I just disagree saintfan, but since you're playing right civil now, I'll answer:

the opportunity to go somewhere I had never been before with A MINIMUM OF FUSS is what I found liberating.

When it comes to "go down the cattle line in the name of security," I'd be a fool to give in.

But stop with the "alternatives" bull****. You may not be trying to throw me under the bus, but you're sure as hell trying to put me on a Greyhound.

Not trying to throw you under the bus. Just asking you to elaborate on what it is you meant is all. I'm not trying to get you to remember it any other way than you do. I'm stating it hasn't changed much in broad scope. Certainly you don't have to agree, or even explain what you meant...

As for freedom, you are far less free than I bet you are ready to believe, and 9/11 has taken less of your freedom than the government took prior to it. Airport security is necessary. There are alternatives for those who are morally opposed. That's the freedom so many are overlooking.

Dude, I already told you, that's how I felt. Trying to make me remember it as the "bad old days" isn't going to work.

"It is not the job of the government to grant you this liberation at the expense of security" sounds an awful lot like the opposite of "He who would sacrifice freedom for safety deserves neither."
