The airlines (except Southwest) won't make money until I can take my swiss army knife aboard without being shot by the brainless twits they call 'airport security'.

Also, I didn't know Boeing counting in Hex when they were numbering their aircraft designs.

I was flying on military orders just last weekend and I was forced to go through the whole strip search thing. Belt off, shoes off, etc. I try hard to be polite but it's really tough. Not only do I have a higher clearance than any of those clowns with the wands, I'd give my life if need be if the plane were attacked.

On a funny one, one elderly gentlman (TSA employee) had a hard time standing up straight but was wearing the nomex tactical gloves that the specwar or SWAT guys wear. I almost busted a gut laughing.
