“Who cares, Obama has everything under control!”

LOL!

Air Force One probably stinks with cigarette smoke!

I say the guy was drinking and lit up. I also say he is not a frequent flyer! lol

LOL. Good calls!

Do we know exactly where he lit up? In the facility, which set off the "possible bomb alarm?"

Secondly, do we know his name yet? I mean, can we rule out Muslim?

It's late, please forgive me for my silliness. I would be such a MAD passenger, considering the downtime on the ground/delay of that flight.

Bics pass right through security at most airports now.

“Smoking in not permitted on any flight, including in the lavatory and federal law prohibits interfering with or
disabling smoke detectors in the lavatories” —from the
spiel given by flight attendants on airlines like Southwest

ROFL - someone didn’t listen, or someone didn’t understand English.

If ever Americans get tired of the crazy and crazier airline rules and abuse, we could organize a protest that made it so no plane ever got anywhere again.

I think it is time for Jan the Man to focus on the terrorists and luggage and leave our bodies alone. I read from Druge that she’s saving nekked pictures of us. How much extra does she get for the kiddie pics?

Did you see the comment at the link?
“It’s just a misunderstanding. I’m sure there is some reasonable explanation. It may be that it a muslim custom and Americans need to be more sensitive. Perhaps we can build a mosque in the shape of the twin towers.... “

I am retired from working for an airline now, but I remember, while working, and immediately after 9/11, the announcement was made that cigarette lighters were being confiscated at security...along with scissors, box cutters, etc. They were forbidden! Yet, those butane lighters were being sold inside security. I saw it, especially at one of the largest airports in the USA...Chicago’s O’Hare...

I was shaking my head. lol

I walked right through security with a lighter in my bag, my bag that went through the x-ray.

I didn't even realize it until I got to my destination and looked in there and went "Holy cow. I didn't know that was in there."

My friend went through with a packed bowl, again not knowing it was in her bag. No one even noticed.

Looks like TSA was asleep again! lol..

But apparently you’re not a 90 year old in a wheelchair. You would have been checked thoroughly.

That Harley is a Stinker!,,,LOL,,,

My housemate had the grand kids over and he really put on a show,,,

Her SIL is on his way to Kandahar by now (USAF) and they

were able to spend some happy time together,,,

Syn,,,That sounds about typical of the krap going one at

the airports now days,,,

All it's gunna take is for some moozzi to get a little PETN

onboard ,,,Nasty stuff!,,,

All moozzi has to do is get a few ounces onboard a plane

and light the fuse,,,

BOOM!,,,the plane goes down over any city USA...
