Yah. I am acting vaguely normal pretty much all the time.
Except when I feel this irresistable urge to play my pipes.

Prepare to be yelled at like it is your first day at boot camp...by folks that want to be cops, but can't cut it.
Prepare for no meaningful change in security.

What a joke. Tighten security, but we can’t tell you what that is, just that it will be more invasive.
One thing I know they won’t do... profile.... that just makes too much sense.
Nuns, grandmas, and babies hit hardest.
I have an easier and sure fire system.....DON’T FLY. Screw ‘em all. See if Bambi wants to bail out the airlines too.Then they can be as safe as Aeroflot!
Now there is a good reason to listen to what your mother told ya and wear clean underwear at all times!
“by folks that want to be cops, but can’t cut it.”
- As if it takes even a half-assed effort to be a COP.
ban nail clippers, bottled water, and hand lotion. that will make flying safer. really.

I expect continued featherbedding and incompetance.
It’s all such a ridiculous smokescreen. The ILLUSION of safety.
The one thing they need to do that would actually make flying safer (profiling), they’ll never do. So for the foreseeable future...it’s all a farse.
One of my high school classmates ended up building ice roads in the Soviet Union to get to their oil rigs in the far north. He told us a joke during a reunion. What’s the difference between an Aeroflot jet and a Skud missile? The Aeroflot jet kills more people.
Even items in checked bags can cause delays.
A traveler in Phoenix packed a belt adorned with a rhinestone-encrusted hand grenade, Mrs. Treviño said. A bomb appraisal unit had to be called in to examine the bag.
WTF? We are so screwed until we start profiling.
A few years back they would open the nail clippers and break off the little file, so they'll probably be back to that again.
You're right though, next up will be banning all sales of anything after security.
REAL EASY for those of you WHO HAVE A CHOICE.
Do us all a favor and just stay home, eh? You'll be making a point for the rest of us too. And you won't be mucking up the search lines.
Has the TSA ever stopped a terrorist or found anything suspect?....besides taking all toe nail clippers and pocketknives?
Hell no, the tsa has intimidated little children and grandmothers. They are playing grab ass on the other side of the “secure zone”. They are just another bunch of govt workers collecting a paycheck pretending to be cops. They are the t*ts on a boar hog. USELESS GOVT MAKE WORK JOBS. If they actually were doing the job they were designated to do, we would be like El Al. No problems there.
