I hate to say it, but I may wind up being arrested if I fly because of this ruling. I have Crohns disease, and if I have to fly, I'm careful NOT to eat or drink anything at least 12 hours before I fly (except for my medications). Still, there are times when even that's not enough. As with any sort of inflammatory bowel disease, if you have to go, you have to go NOW! And sometimes it just sneaks up on you, with no advance knowledge. I once had to get up and walk out on Keith Code at the California Superbike School as he was giving final track guidelines, which was quite embarrassing. But the worst was being in the lavatory on a Southwest Airlines flight DURING the final approach and landing. Not a comfortable situation, and I got quite a tongue lashing from the flight attendant.

Would it be easier, less inconvenient, to just bow to is-SLIME, and they will do away with all the screening.

No, when they're not slaughtering infidels, they're perfectly happy slaughtering each other. The lie the Ft Hood murderer told about how he couldn't kill muslims was a lie. Muslims kill each other all the time.

Do people ever complain to their doctors about the invasion of privacy when they examine various parts of their body usually covered by clothing and underwear? No?

YES, I complain, at least about the most invasive parts of it! A rigid sigmoidoscopy or prostate exam! You bet I complain about it! But I do it. But I'm pretty grumpy the rest of the day.

I’m more worried about female agents fainting when I go through.

I'm more afraid of them hurting themselves, from falling over from laughing so hard when I go through.

Why do Muslims have to fly to infidel lands?

Q'uran tells us that it is to convert, or subdue the infidel, to establish Sharia, to collect dhimmi, and to kill those infidels who fail to convert or cooperate. There is no geographic limit on jihad.

Hear you brother. I HAVE BEEN through ariports with these devices and always feel sorry for causing so many head injuries.

And the comments; “You;ll have to check that”, “only one carryon”, and “will that fit in an overhead”; it is embarrassing.

The Muslims are controlling our society and treasury with little effort all whilst the US has thousands of miles of open border to anyone willing to walking over it.

I guess we all owe it to ourselves and our fellow Americans to wear diapers when flying.

That way there will be no need to get up at any time during the flight.

Maybe we should all fly naked ... except for the diaper ... and be handcuffed to our seats.

Happily, I have no need to fly anymore. Vacations will be restricted to those places to which I can drive, take a train or sail — for those who claim business reasons, teleconferencing should take care of a lot of it. Skip the conventions.

Unfortunately people quitting flying will cost airlines, hotels, restaurants, et al, dearly. But it may take this to drive home the need to do what works best — PROFILE.

All it’s going to take to revise the no bathroom rule is for a couple of passengers to crap in their pants.
