Oh, we're safe now, huh?

Serious venting time

Your fucking stepped up security checks have done jack shit to make us more safe in the air. I could have snuck a fucking pea-shooter (you know, those two-round guns?) in my damn boot, a silver dollar sized piece of C4 under my watch, a knife in my other boot, and a god-damn razor blade (or blasting cap for the C4) in my friggin’ belt.

Your stupid ass wand isn’t going to stop that if you don’t check shit out when it beeps.

Fucking fuck! We haven’t traded convenience for security, we’ve traded convenience for aggravation!

Listen to this, dopers. Fucking coming into LAX this passed weekend to fly home, I saw a line out the door that was 100-150 feet long! For what? for the stupid-ass security checks which would have enabled the one-man army to get through so long as he didn’t strap a 10-pound weapon on the outside of his fucking clothes. And these people are waiting in line for that impeccable service?

Give me a break, Gino.

So I’m at the restaraunt on the other side of the security gate, and lo!—I cannot order a peppercorn burger because (drumroll) the chefs need knives to preapre this particular dish! Half the fucking menu was unavailable.

Here’s a crazy fucking thought: put you piss-ant worthless security gate at the god-damn terminal door for boarding. Hell, build it out of cardboard, it isn’t like anyone utilizes the thing anyway (not at Logan, O’Hare, LAX, Midway…). You telling me the fork I eat my food with is unable to puncture a throat? That this pen you gave no thought to can’t either? The fucking terrorists lived in this country for years before the attack. You think not allowing knives in a friggin restaraunt is going to stop this? Hell, they’ll just learn to fly the whole friggin plane and work for United instead of taking the shorter route.

And, um, Mr MP sir? When I mention politely that security stand A didn’t go off when my huge metal belt went through it though security stand B did, kindly use that pea brain to understand I am speaking English and discuss the problem. Do not ask me to explain why such a thing occurred. I do not care why. I care that I have to fucking put up with large amounts of bullshit and inconvenience for zero gain in fucking security. You have a big gun, yes. That big gun in no way detects or stops terrorists.

Put a fucking armed, plain-clothes guard on the plane, strengthen the cockpit door, and fucking be done with it already.

“May I search you, sir?”
“Of course.” {pat pat pat}
“Ok, go ahead.”
Gee, you didn’t want to inspect my belt? Didn’t feel like wondering why my shoes triggered your wand? Too tough to check my watch out?

And they fucking wonder why the airline industry is going to suffer. Because we have stupid fucking people in charge of a relatively simple fucking job. And I don’t mean the security guards.

I think I am going to, in my spare time this weekend, go to the airport and sneak weapons in just to fuck with them. Too bad I don’t really have anything that would cause a stir. God DAMN bastards!

You want me to arrive two fucking hours ahead of my flight? Just to get in line at some stupid ass security check where my fucking grandmother could bring a bomb through? You are fucking kidding me, right?!?!

Nope. Fucking incredible. I want a job where i don’t have to fly anywhere anymore. I am so fucking through with airports.

That is so true. I was at a Halloween fair this weekend. They had people with the metal detecting wands scanning every person who entered the place. I noticed that they when they scanned me, it would go off and the guy asked me, “You have change in your pockets?” I said yes and he let me go without even checking my pockets! I could have very easily smuggled in my pocket knife.

Seems to me that if it goes off, you had better make the person produce the stuff in their pockets.

And this is why we all need to fly naked*.

Yes, but you’re probably not Arabic, i bet those poor people get herded into a separate room and strip searched. Maybe that will stop when some wacky white guys hijack a plane.

btw, i heard some guy accidently got his gun aboard a plane, he didn’t even know it was in his suitcase.

Damn. I hate it when my stupid ass wand beeps! How embarrassing.

I’m sorry, I tried not to say it, figuring someone would beat me to it. I’m disappointed in you, gang. :wink:

Carry on.
