More TSA fun and excitement

[capt. megadeth]

So I was commercialing home today in uniform and the agent didn't want to let me through security with my water bottle because apparently "you're a UPS pilot, you are not flight crew".......um, ok?!?!?!?! She then informed me that UPS is not "commercial"........allrighty then. Maybe next time, we won't be able to get through at all if we don't have our hat on......WTFO???

 

[Flyingdutchman]

how about for corporate/charter (91k/135/134.9) guys airlining home from a to b in their uniforms with company paid tickets? can we bring water etc with us (in uniform) or what ? i dont get it any more... boy this world sucks.

 

[FlyBoeingJets]

I wonder how close we are to losing the off-line jump seat...again.

 

[brainhurts]

You can take my water, just don't take my "lotion". It gets kind of lonely on the road.

 

[SWA/FO]

What Mega? They took your K-Y gel from ya, now you're upset cus people don't think your an airline pilot? See what you have to give up when you make the big bucks?

 

[Guitar rocker]

You try and roll through there with so much as a full bladder, and you wont be able to go through.

Uh, yeah....they took the vibrator too. Did they confiscate yours yet?

(am I gonna get banned for saying that?)

 

[SWA/FO]

Nope.... I thought you were leaving flightinfo.com.?

This one goes out to Capt. Megadeth (Peaches) and SWA/FO (Herb). I'm glad you guys are back together, it's been boring around here lately.

Wouldn't you just love that?

 

[Benhuntn]

I went through security Thur. AM and the gentleman behind me had a full, unopen bottle of Glenfitch in his carry on. The TSA agent took the bottle and said it had to be drained. While I was putting my shoes on I overheard the guy telling a buddy that it was going home with him. I mentioned that it was stealing if he didn't drain it as he said. I was promptly told to mind my own business. I would imagine all told TSA took millions on Thur and did not add one iota of security.

If TSA wants to make us safer why don't they frisk every Muslim?

Wait I figured it out...that is profiling and we don't want to hurt their feelings since it is the religion of peace...hahaha!!!!

 

[Flyingdutchman]

Im getting so sick of all this PC bullsh*t.

 

[Dep676]

Exactly. Profiling is the only way to keep us safe.

Who is to say that they can not detonate these so called "liquid bombs" in the cargo area from inside the cabin. What makes the difference where it is?

Just like I heard on TV the other day. The guy said not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists have been Muslims.

I say screw the ACLU and PROFILE these b@stards.

 

[EdAtTheAirport]

Good point 676 about the cargo area. They will simply put their Gatorade in their checked baggage.

Wow, for once, I am impressed by TSA's clarity. They can see behind the uniform. How are you Martha Stewart ?

Flightinfo should have a hall of fame for comebacks; that should be the inaugural induction.

Do you have overnights at any SWA cities Peaches? If so, my offer for a spanking still stands.

 

[TexaSWA]

Glad to hear you still have your vibrator. Youre not invited to the room party.

 

[CatYaaak]

They already took my lighter for cigarettes away long ago. I don't mind seeing the health-nut, bottled water freaks suffer now.

Granted, it may not have the detracting health consequences, but constantly swigging on bottled water in public like you're hydo-obsessed is as bad a form of etiquette as blowing smoke in someone's face. It's really irritating.

Yeah, its pretty much the same

 

[Ty Webb]

Reminds me of when I was a corporate pilot taking a load of lawyers out of LAS, and one of their bags was making quite a "buzz" as I loaded it into the external cargo . . . . what a dilemna . . . . locate the owner, ignore the buzzing, or simply open the bag and see what the hell it was . . . I opted for the more discreet option, #3 . . . .someday, I'll tell what I found when I inspected further. . . . when the therapy finally "takes".

I hear Lame Lizard/Chuckie/Lawman/Einstein carries an "inflatable party sheep" with him on the road, but he can't tell us . . . sucka got banned!
:beer:
Heh-heh! Gotta love it.

Richard Reid, John Walker and Jose Padilla - Muslim terrorists, but how would you know?

Timothy McVeigh & Terry Nichols - A couple of Glock-owning, Christian terrorists.

Right-o! The secondhand H2O molecules you get every time somebody swigs water nearby can cause your brain to swell...making it less "foldy". Un-foldy brains often cause sufferers to make irrational comments...such as equating smoking to drinking water.

Try this experiment at home:

Go 7-days without smoking something.

then

Go 7-days without drinking something.

(Can I have your iPod?)

I believe I wrote "granted, it may not have the detracting health consequences"....oh yes, there it is right there where you quoted me.

I was referring to irritating habits, and yes, constantly swigging on bottled water every 2 minutes in people's faces as you go through your day is a habit, not survival. Added to the irritation factor is the crackling-plastic/sloshing noise that goes with it...it's worse than squeaky shoes on a basketball court.

BTW, if you DO ever find yourself in a situation where water intake becomes critical, be aware that if you plan on not drinking for "7 days", you'll be dead for about 3 of them, depending on your loss rate. I, however, will still be happily smoking. Compulsive, bottled water-swigging hydro-obsessed freaks would be the last people on earth I'd count on to ration water in a pinch.

I think CatYaak became overly cranky on his flight due to nicotine deprivation . . . and has yet to recover.

Ya got that right. And another thing, I'm happy as he!! these new rules will effectively wipe-out most duty-free shopping. I'm sick of having to give up overhead space to people lugging shopping bags onboard like they've just come from the mall Friday after Thanksgiving. Especially in Europe, where the feel-good fools keep voting in pols endorsing higher taxes on everything and yet scramble to buy crap at the airport like a bunch of peasants because they can't afford it down the street in a normal store. Or what about duty-free upon arrival instead of lugging it across their god-forsaken socialist skies....didn't anyone think of that?

Seeing our airports creeping down that road makes me cringe and fear for my country. I say keep home taxes low stamp out this Euro-tendency now!

Can't be any worse than what the TSA screeners see in your bag as it goes through the X-ray machine. They probably get so embarassed they can't even look you in the eye. The thought of what you carry in there is disgusting.

I hear Lame Lizard/Chuckie/Lawman/Einstein carries an "inflatable party sheep" with him on the road, but he can't tell us . . . sucka got banned!

Not as bad as your pet Iguana. How do you bring that thing with you on the road anyway? What about it's food?? You must leave it at home with mom and dad.:laugh:

How is the TSA supposed to determine who and who isn't Muslim?

Last time I checked. it is not a requirement of a passenger to provide that information.

And before you say Middle Eastern looking blah blah blah remember, Richard Reid was English and Jamaican.

Any other great ideas, genius?

Benhuntn is right. Profiling involves taking people aside....those who look like the type. Hate to say it, but a few bad guys ruin it for everyone else. We know that there are good A-rabs out there, but just think what would have happened if the A-rabs in London got their wish and blew our airliners up? I am thinking that your tone would be somewhat different. Not to mention that you might be in the unemployment line along with everyone else.

I love the nobody died when slick lied. Take that crap to some political forum and leave it behind when yah come here.

 

[scoreboard]

No one died when Clinton lied

here we go again:

I see you take after the great lier himself, ever hear of Somalia, Yemen, Kenya, etc etc, get your facts straight.
