I've been of four flights this week. I only saw indicators of such tests on two of them.

Well, thanks. I feel much better now. ;^)

and in the meantime our government harasses the mothers of our veterans who are overseas serving in Iraq by jumping and arresting them on buses for refusing to show ID.

"So what will set off the exposive detector?"

Fertilizer residue? Shooting range residue?

[null and void]

Well, thanks. I feel much better now. ;^)

Glad to hear it.

These TSA screeners graduated Magna Cum Numbnut.

The TIA screens the TA employees for arrest records, not IQ. Then again, there is no merit hiring or promotion system (diversity is the game) in the US Government and had they put the arrest(s) on the application, they would still be hired. Ain’t political correctness grand?

WE have them at our borders, too. The border agent who let the TB patient through qualifies to be flipping burgers.

Competence in government, a sight to behold.

Excellent post devolve.

Must have exceeded the permissible muslim quota ( no more then 3 can be checked ) on any one flight to avoid that evil “Racial Profiling”.

Thanks potlatch -

John Edwards says it’s “bumper sticker”!

“There is no threat from.....”

And they said that Edwards won the debate last night!

Sean Hannity is playing a 911 Tribute by Michael W. Smith right now - He will be performing at the upcoming San Diego Concert

Lol, you keep me up on the news. I get on the computer and start ‘making things’!!

Hillary will really be seeing ‘red’ if they are saying Eddie-boy won the debate!

“Stay-Green lawn fertilizer is high in nitrates (29-2-5). The detector detects nitrates, not explosives.”

My wife was stopped for just that reason. White, middle-aged woman. They let her go when I told them we had just threw fertilizer down on the lawn.

Remember - it’s also an explosive precursor! Better be careful with your lawn care.

[TChris]

Somebody is going to be so written up for this!

Written up? He'll be promoted for being so compassionate to a Middle-Eastern male.

[brityank]

THEN THEY PUT HIM UNDER SURVEILLANCE.

Several Days later...They leak it out, and look to see who reacts...

"However, federal screeners didn’t tell any member of law enforcement what happened for days."

No chance.

“Remember - it’s also an explosive precursor! Better be careful with your lawn care.”

The neighbors say my lawn’s “The Bomb.”

[R. Scott]

Better hope the wrong people don’t overhear them!
