ATTENTION TRAVELLERS: At Sea-Tac Airport in Seattle (and probably other airports across the country), every fifth passenger must remove his or her shoes for inspection at all entry checkpoints. This is really gonna speed things up for air travellers. Ah, yes, but we will all be safe now, right? More Christmas fun and government folly! Ho, ho, ho!
To think that all members of Al Queda who are working in waves under Osama are your stereotypical middle easterner is naive.
Good point.
They should also search anyone who looks like they are infested with maggots, or any male that looks and acts like a sissy, or anyone that smells really bad.
I think that gets Jihad Johnny on all 3 counts.
Would you believe that a small Cessna 206 can get across the country faster than you can in a 757 for those very reasons? And, you have in-flight service, can stop when you want to, carry whateverthehell you want, and have aircraft-side baggage handling. No more lost luggage, no rude "parents" with screaming crumb-crunchers, no smelly people, more leg room, larger leather bound seating, no police in your face, etc. Oh, yeah, and very friendly people at each airport you stop at. They stop and talk about your trip, your plane, etc. Very enjoyable. It seems the airlines are defeating their own purpose.
With those robes and filthy matted hair and beard, and fake Arab accent, I don't see why it wouldn't.
Surely you're kidding?
Yes and frisking little grannies. We'll do everything but profile and they'll keep bringing the planes down. When the planes do explode, we'll be told the tail just fell off because the French didn't make planes right.
I typed the "v" but it didn't show up and I didn't check.
If you can't figure it out, I am not going to explain. It is not just certain Middle-Easterners.
It's time to bring in a man who is eminently qualified to lead the country in our fight against this latest threat - We need Al Bundy, and we need him now!
YUK!
They aren't that difficult for your average person to pick out of a crowd.
Wasting time searching granny is no different that Beavis calling 911 as a prank. Both waste resources that could be better used in other fashions, and both should be illegal.
If you wanted to be treated just like a terrorist at the airport, that's your business. I, for one, refuse to be treated like that. So I'll be driving.
