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. Well, I guess people get what they pay for in terms of service. Most tickets these days are pretty cheap. Secondly, the TSA is a joke. |

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.... That's insane. How could there not be any direct flights from DC to Denver? You didn't use JetBlue, did you?  Haha, what a bunch of morons. Of course you probably figured they'd go easy on you be wearing the uniform. I usually wear a gold NYPD chain around my neck when I go through security and the assholes usually put more scrutiny on me than the guy with the 3 foot turban on his head. It's absolutely ridiculous. I've always wanted a job that involves a lot of traveling, but dealing with the airport security crap makes me think twice. Later. |

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? Coalition bombs haven't killed innocent civilians? |

Coalition bombs haven't killed innocent civilians? -Of course coalition bombs have killed innocents, as in every war! Did all those bombs which killed Germans during the war bring about more Nazis? The terrorist scum in Iraq has killed more innocents than we ever did. |
