new airport security

[Chris_t]

Damn the new airport security thing is getting out of hand. I just dropped off my uncle at the airport and man the security is really tight. You cant even take hair gel with you.
I seriously dont understand what the terrorists are trying to prove. When will this garbage stop?????

Re: new airport security

never.. i think honestly the latest terrorist stuff is BS made up to scare people and to get minds off the middle east.. they haven't shown photos of the people arrested.. its just hearsay so far..

ps.. i hate the world of today..

Re: new airport security

Airport security has always been ********. Some pro martial arts guy can kill people more effectively than you can with a butter knife, yet the butter knife is banned. Plastic guns, cell phone guns that shoot 3 rounds, plastique - it's always been pretty much undetectable.

But since I hate checking baggage (cause it takes forever, and they often lose it) I travel with everything in my carry on bag. Now I'm screwed. And not being allowed to bring water etc? It's knee-jerk obsessive safety that is going to drive several airlines into bankrupcy.

Re: new airport security

ya, next step is no carry ons at all (except for like, mothers with babies i would hope). Geoff is totally right, a guy with a martial arts background is a much bigger threat that some other dudes can of shaving cream.

Traveling is gonna suck a whole lot more without being able to have your ipod or laptop or personal dvd player with you, thats for damn sure

Haha, snakes on a plane. Samuel L was on letterman last night promoting that movie, sooooo stupid.

Dave had some funny jokes about it though, including a "Coca Cola Solid", it came in a box like a bar of soap. He commended them for being so quick on their feet in light of the situation

Re: new airport security

air canada offers a discount (i think it was 10 bucks one way) if you dont check baggage. i wonder how that works now. i'm only going to van for the labour day weekend so i figured what the heck, i'll save myself 20 bucks. i bet they charge me that at the gate cause i'll have to check it now!

Re: new airport security

Yeah, the whole thing's retarded. The terrorists are getting exactly what they want and it didn't even require blowing up the planes. They are still creating "terror".

It just seems so asinine to try and cover every contingency by tightening up security more and more. What happens when a terrorist puts explosive disguised as baby poo in a baby's diaper and blows everyone up with that? No more babies allowed on board? (actually, maybe that would be a good thing... )

What the government should really be doing is focusing their efforts and budget on human engineering and invent some of those Minority Report psychics. Sit those bunch down in the security screening and they can just point out who is a terrorist and who is a regular person. Easy.

Re: new airport security

Or they could use the customs technique of just asking.

"Are you a terrorist?"

If they really are a terrorist, they'll be caught off guard and say yeah before they realize that they've been tricked.

So are you saying my parents shouldn't be able to visit their granddaughter because babies shouldn't be aloud on planes? Now that is assinane, one day when you have kids you will understand.

Just so long as they aren't wailing loudly during the flight. Or have a bomb in their diapers. :P

Re: new airport security

Well you could also have the Grandparents fly here and keep the baby off the plane that way

Anyway yes this is a bit odd and I have an upcoming weekend trip to Seattle and now I can't go carry on only, hmmmmmmmm.

Hey terrorists, terrorize this.....
