She'd give you a full bottle of stock airplane water. Just ask.
OTHERWISE, THE TSA HAS JUST CAUSED THE SLEEPERS CELLS TO RE-AWAKEN JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER THE PLOT IN BRITAIN.
MAKES NO SENSE TO ME....
It makes no sense to us as to why you go from no capital letters at the beginng of a sentence to USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. CAN YOU imagine reading a 700 page novel with no capitals at the beginning of a sentence? AND IN THE NEXT CHAPTER THE READER GOES BLIND TRYING TO GET THROUGHT THE FIRST SENTENCE. IS THIS METHODOLOGY SOME PRE ADOLESCENT CONVENTION THAT GRADE SCHOOL CHILDREN SEEM TO USE THESE DAYS? INQUIRING MINDS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
I might, but it would depend on the concentration level. When I built my house, I hired a firm to blast bedrock in order to accomodate pouring footings and foundation. The sticks of dynamite are essenttially nitroglycerin in cellulose requiring a blasting cap for detonation.
Profiling only goes so far. As soon as the bad guys figure out what the profile is, they change their tactics.
They already did.
Apparently one group that was going to carry the bombs aboard was a mom and dad with their six month old baby. The explosive was going to be in the baby bottles.
Oh, nice.
Hell is too good for somebody who would blow up their own kid.
Makes you want to throw up and scream "Why?" all at the same time.
I thought that using the head was verboten within 30 minutes of takeoff or landing. I've never been on a plane with seven lavatories....I guess CRJs are safe.....
OK - I am confused - 4oz. of Robitussin is A-OK, but mascara is banned? Someone please explain this "logic"....
But I can't figure out why someone would need gel candles on an airplane anyway.... They expect the lights to go out???
Idiot TSA employee: you are soooo not flyin'
There are many types of profiling, not just the physical features. For instance, we have flown 2+ million miles and have no criminal records, so why do I have to check my carry-on that has my make up?
Domestic flights should allow things in carry-ons that they allowed prior to 8/11/06. Carry-ons should be stowed in the compartments above and not accessed during flight.
I say, profile and identify. Actually, many criminals are apprehended at airports when they come to pick up someone since airport police are trained to spot different behaviors.
I hear you, but what a nightmare for the flight attendants that would be. Running up and down admonishing people not to open their overhead bins? That wouldn't work.
I do agree that we need to have some kind of trusted traveler program for air travel like we have for land and sea. Reverse profiling, if you will.
There is currently such a program running at the Orlando airport called Registered Traveler.
