How ultradumb. If an air traffic controller wanted to crash a jetliner he hardly needs to use a rigged pumpkin pie..

[CindyDawg]

Is this a joke? It's a federal law that you must provide meal breaks away from the work area where the worker will not be disturbed.

[BulletBobCo]

Not a joke. This is for real.

Seems the problem could be solved with an authorized take out service and a lower lounge.

It must be something in the air at DIA (Denver International Airport), or maybe the UFOs in the tunnels beneath the basement. Are these security personnel wearing their tin foil hats?

One of the famous DIA murals:

It's like taking away nail clippers from the pilot !!

[elpinta]

Sad, very sad indeed, when the ingnoramus lead our security.

[woofer2425]

Let's kill all the F'in terrorists and this problem will disappear!!

[RobbyS]

Idiocy. When you don't know what you are doing, do something and you will likely do the wrong thing.

[elpinta]

Yup, that works for me!
BUT, who is going to feed all the 'security' people led by the TSA???

[airplaneguy]

This a total waste of effort by TSA..These people could drive a saint to Drink

I'm gonna point out one more time that the function of government is to govern. It does not have to make any sense.

"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to disolve the political bands . . ."

Well, you know the rest.

No pumpkin pie? How about mincemeat? Apple?

[pallmallman]

Amen brother! We need to aggresively go after the enemy and kill them all. They have a venomous hatred for us and dont mind dying themselves to kill us. We'll all get a wakeup call the next time they strike against us. It may be a female suicide bomber in a crowded place, or whatever it is, we have to kill them all.

Go figure, I thought this was from the Onion, not the Denver post. Ya know, sometimes you feel like you fell down the rabbit hole.

Federal law does not even require meal breaks.

I'm waiting to see a plane brought down by an air traffic controller, who has at a minimum, a Secret security clearance, with a peanut butter sandwich.

Ummm.....the bad guys did not make these dumb ass rules.

The dumb asses on our side did.

Food for thought....the bad guys all get killed, as you suggest.

We still are stuck with our own dumb asses that make rules like this.

I say we dump our own dumb asses first, then go kill the bad guys.

Never mind, that would never fly........
