"The Transportation Security Administration is conducting vulnerability assessments at the nation's 429 airports to get a better understanding of the threat to aircraft."


We're down to only 429 airports now? What are the G.A. guys doing?



"In addition, the Office of Homeland Security says a program is being developed to train commercial pilots in techniques to use when under missile attack, including how to fly a plane if one engine is damaged by a heat-seeking missile. "

I vaguely remember being trained how to fly with a damaged engine.

Shhhhhhh! Don't tell those bone heads we're out here flying from grass strips and other small fields. They'll think the sky will fall since we don't have to wear picture ID badges or use TSA security at these airports! I even carry a Leatherman tool when I fly.

Now you've done it. They're gonna have to close your terminal down and search your flight bag.

They will surely arrest you when they find that metal MAG Lite that holds you dead batteries.

And oh please I really don't need anymore security to get to the plane when there is a guy that lives in the hanger next door.

You've been to my airport! do I know you?!

Actually, the guy lives in the hanger across from me. Besides, even if he's not there, we have the airport dogs. They are pretty good actually. They bark and confront everyone that comes up.

Didn't think it was that common, but I guess it is. This one is over in Daytona, at Massey Ranch.

blazing saddles

I am reminded of the scene in blazing saddles where (i forget the actor's name) puts the gun to his own head and says "stay back or the n____ gets it".... someone in the crowd says (future TSA supervisor?) "ohh hes just crazy enough to do it!"...

And at the end of the scene:

"Nice folks. But dumb."
