CFI annual TSA renewal

I just can't wonder
what percentage of hijackers historically have been

We don't want to stop the attacks that have already occured. We want to
stop the attacks that would =in=the=future= occur. Were you a
terrorist, you might consider using little old ladies. (hint - it's
been done already)

Years ago, long before 9-11, a screener at Springfield, MO,
asked about the knife in my carry-on bag. Turned out she
was seeing the hold open bar in my Jep book.

I once suggested that everybody be required to be nude,
everywhere, school, work, the supermarket, on the trains,
buses and airlines. Would speed up security searches.
Exceptions would be made for those people who are so modest
that they must be covered, they just have to get a concealed
weapons permit, because clothes equal armed.
Certain people could be required to be clothed if they are
too ugly, fat or otherwise so repulsive that they would
cause projectile vomit.

I'm all in favor of shedding unnecessary clothing, but the NYC subways
is not somewhere I think I'd want anybody to be nude.

You mean you don't buy round trip and toss the return it's usually cheaper?

Perhaps they could make paper or Tyvek jumpsuits available
in vending machines.

Norm is still fighting WWII. That's why he picks on blue haired old
ladies. He is also once again pushing for user fees. What a guy, what a
guy.





It isn't Norm, it is the liberals who crap themselves at the thought of
taking into account that 99.99% of those that have sworn death to the
American infidels also happen to be Arab or other Middle Eastern.

LMAO...I've had a really bad week and that totally made me laugh.

My brother threated to strip at an airport checkpoint once. Here's why...

I was fortunate enough to hear a lecture by Oliver North a few years ago
at my university. He told a story about clearing security at a North
Carolina airport, just after the shoe bomber incident. The screener
didn't recognize him, and made him take off his shoes. Annoyed, he said
(and I'm fuzzy after this part of the story), "What would you do if
I/someone had a bomb in my underwear?" Long story short, he ended up
with his pants around his knees, being wanded when he moved and the
screener hit the panic button. He said that he looked over this
shoulder and saw six North Carolina state troopers heading up the
stairs. The lead one saw what was going on and about died laughing when
he saw Oliver North there with his pants down, being searched. Damnit,
I wish I could remember the entire story.

I told the story to my brother, who decided in the true spirit of the
Marine Corps, he would strip next time he got hassled by the TSA...I
mean, if you're nude, you can't hide anything, right? Unfortunately, I
happened to be with him and nearly died of embarrassment.

Of course, this is the same man who swears he can carry on his sword, so
he's obviously got no problem being arrested at the airport.
