Man, that picture is a classic example of government stupidity. If they could recruit fellas like that to be suicide bombers in sufficient numbers to pull off the kind of operation they were thought to have planned, they can have the country as far as I'm concerned.

Tonight on Entertainment Tonight, they did a story on airport security now and how the stars are going to have to deal with it. I forget who they pointed out, but they said that she and her family was "wisked through the line and taken to a protected area". Just goes to show that some are more equal than others. When it comes to this situation, the "stars" ar no more equal then you, me, and the first grade math teacher. That report just turned my stomach.

In 1979, the US Embassy in Tehran was over-ran & 90 Americans were held for 444 days by

(E) - Jimmy Carter for allowing it to happen.

I am preety sure that 70% peroxide will not do the greatest thing to human body cavities. The bottom line is this: explosives are so volatile that to contain it in the human body would be darn near impossible as the individual components would kill the organism prior to coming together in critical portions.

Financially, it costs less to drive, without considering the travel hassles.

Nothing beats a good old road trip. I'm sick of these new airline rules too. It's fricking ridiculous.

Airlines suck bowel movements anyway.

Here's a way to get around all this uproar about flying.

I would love to get a GMC Conversion Van. Something that's roomy but not too big.

Still NO ethnic profiling. More political correctness. I guess all those stories with certain Middle Eastern surnames in the news haven't taught the clueless Feds anything - again!

Our pathetic government isn't up to the war against Islam. They wring their hands over offending terrorists who plot 24/7 to devise the most efficient ways to kill Jews and Westerners, and they make octogenarians from Iowa give up their Listerine at the outrageous airport security checkpoints. This is unbelievable.

They were showing women throwing out make-up and cologne on the news. That could get expensive. Better to just buy the stuff when you get where you're going or go "au naturale." Of course, you can put the stuff in your checked luggage, it's only carryon that's restricted.

Looks to me like profiling would have nailed 96% of the terrorists. If we were able to concentrate more resources on the 96%, we could catch them quicker and they would lead us to the white converts anyway.

I was on a flight about a year ago when I opened a bottle of the relatively new Liquid Bandage product. The flight attendants went bonkers because it smelled just like nail polish removal liquid. At the time I had a bunch of irritating small cuts on my fingers.

I am not going to live my life in fear and stop flying. Their is million times more chance of me dying from eating fast food then these bunch of pathetic losers dying for non-existant virgins in paradise.

Hey that's great! How about a simple pork rind?

WASHINGTON - Beginning Friday, airline passengers will go through double screening to make sure they're not carrying liquids onto planes

I'm staying home.

Just asking. We're anticipating flight of a minimum of 12 to 18 hours, including layovers and sleeping on airport benches. Will they get this sorted or will I have to do without toothbrush and toothpaste, personal cleansing items and makeup so that I don't arrive looking like a mangy dog?
