If the IRA blew up Congress? I'd understand. I wouldn't. I'd be pretty friggin pissed off. I'm not the IRA and neither are you. You're Italian also, right? So what if Italian Communists blew up congress. Would you still have no problems being detained as a suspected communist? |

Would you still have no problems being detained as a suspected communist? If a group I am associated with attacks this country I would completely understand if I were detained. While I would indeed be pissed off about it since I wasn't the one who did the act, I would at least understand where my country was coming from. These people are almost surprised that we are profiling Muslims. Gee, why do you think? |

No; we're the ones being killed. Please stop. We're the ones being killed? That's a bit one sided. I'm willing to bet that there's been more innocent Iraqis killed in the past few years than Americans in terrorist attacks. |

OK Owen....I might be turning more authoritarian but you are turning into a fucking little girl. Or have you already forgotten what happened on 11 September 2001? |

Last time I checked, it wasn't a group of Irish nuns that hi-jacked planes and crashed them into buildings. Muslims need to be screened more than most others. Common sense is authorised. |

Stop what? One-sided?? Who has killed innocent Iraqis and foreigners? THE FUCKING MUSLIM CRAZIES, otherwise known as terrorists. Why should we be running an inefficient security system at airports by wasting time give grandma a head -to-toe frisking, when it's the muslim wackjobs we should be concentrating on? |

LOL Mario you should have been with me at the airport two weeks ago. I went to go visit Chris in Colorado and had to go through like SIXTEEN airports (literally) to get there, which means I had to go through security a whole bunch of times. I just loved watching them search the random people though. They were all polite and formal about it - "OK sir I'm just gonna search you now. If something beeps I'm going to have to use my hands, is that OK? OK, I'm just searching you with a scanner and *beep* whoops, looks like I'm gonna hafta use my hands. OK sir I'm just using the back of my hand here, very formal very proper. OK just using my hand to search you now...." I was like holy shit. Fucking stop talking and search the mother fucker. O and maybe you should search the terrorist who just walked by with a towel on his head. |

O and maybe you should search the terrorist who just walked by with a towel on his head. They've seriously made traveling unfun. Thankfully, I usually only fly twice a year, so I don't have to deal with that shit. 16 times?? Haha, I don't know how you dealt with that. I'm way too impatient. Last Summer, at LaGuardia airport, I was waiting on line to go through security. Of course everyone at the airport looks insane. I don't know where half these people come from. A bunch of worthless human beings that shouldn't be allowed in the front doors at the airport, much less on the airplane. Anyway, as my bag was going through, the two so-called security guards weren't even looking at the monitor! Shaneequa was telling Monique that she had her nails done over the weekend, blah, blah, blah. I'd never let one of those dummies frisk me. Go frisk Habib, and leave me the fuck alone. Ok, you got me angry, James. lol Later. |

Ok, you got me angry, James. lol Later. Hahaha I love airport securty. Yea, I had to go from Reagan National to Newark to Denver (three times we were at DIA) then to Houston then Reagan National. All because there are no fucking direct flights from DC to Denver. Pissed the shit outta me. But yea, I don't know if I told you this story but....I wore my BDUs on the plane and at the Denver airport the TSA guys told me to take off my boots. I was like fine whatever I don't give a shit but two old men behind me starting yelling at the TSA guys! They were like, "this is ridiculous, this young man here is fighting for America and you guys are treating him like a damn terrorist." Then the guy turns to me and is like, "son you don't need this. this is ridiculous." I just started laughing cause I was like ummmm, I'm in ROTC. I haven't really done anything yet.... O and this year I'll be flying 20 times. I honestly don't know how businessmen who fly like 50 times a year do it because I'm about to shoot everyone who works at security. The ones at Newark are the best. Just like you said, they just talk about their nails and how their 16 year old daughter just gave birth.... |

The ones at Newark are the best. Just like you said, they just talk about their nails and how their 16 year old daughter just gave birth.... As long as you guys are talking about shity airports, let me chime in. Last Febuary I had to fly from a small town in N. Carolina to Singapore. The whole trip would actualy involve 4 flights with 3 stops in Charllote, Chicago, Hong Kong, than finally Singapore. The first flight took off at 6 in the morning so I got up early to get there by 5 in the morning. By 6 the plane wasn't even at the airport. The plan got there at 7 and we took off at about 7:30. My flight in Charllote (spelling?) took of at 8:30. We landed just in time for me to run my ass off to catch the flight still boarding. We sit out on the flight line for a half hour before take-off. By this time I'm starting to feel hungry since I ate no breakfast. I'm thinking we should arrive in Chicago with plenty of time for me to eat. We get there and I scramble to the other side of the Airport with plenty of time to spare (about a half hour) only to have the idiots at the gate fuck up my check in and say I've been fling on a cancelled tickit! I was losing my temper quick and staring at the McDonalds RIGHT NEXT TO THE GATE and looking with disbelief that I wasn't going to have time. Yep, they fucked it up for me and I had to board at the last minute and wait about another hour after takeoff 1 in the afternoon to finally get my first meal of the day. Security? I don't get checked by them really and they have never bugged me. What bugs me is they are never on fucking schedule. |
