My husband’s new titanium and ceramic hip means that he gets wanded and patted and the whole kit and caboodle each time. He wondered if there were some way to get a card stating that he has a prosthesis, and should be waved through. I told him that I certainly hope not - can you imagine how easy those would be to get?
Alas! Poor Rosie. I still remember her early in her career when she was one of the VJ’s on VH1 (Video Hits One, back when music TV played music) in ‘88. I actually liked her movie bits.
“...TSA plans to increase security by conducting body cavity searches of babies ...”
Not such a farfetched notion. “ Ok this baby had strained prunes one hour ago. Either you take me into the cockpit or I loosen the diaper!!”
Judging by your description of the events that took place, I think the jury is still out on that one.
“The Israeli’s and the Europeans have far better security then we do.”
This is because they are allowed to profile, which we are not. Remember, they do not have an ACLU.
All a terrorist needs to do is have a hip replacement.
With a bomb inside.
Ummm, forget it. I didn't mean that. I take it back. Just joking! You didn't see this!
1. I think the woman from the security crew WAS talking to, as the esteemed doctor so eloquently put it, "a retard."
2. Someone should teach the esteemed doctor not to call people "retards."
3. The esteemed doctor should be psychiatrically evaluated if she actually thought the puffer machine was a gas chamber, because we got rid of the on-site gas chambers in American airports at least 6 years ago..
4. Someone should tell the esteemed doctor to stop being such a freaking crybaby.
5. There should be a special line for all the people who bellyache about having to go through airport security: the line that takes them to the bus to the nearest train station/car rental agency/cruise ship port.
Part of me sympathizes with this lady. I wish there were a simpler way to maintain airport security (like ethnic profiling, if necessary).
Or better yet, she could have walked across the Southern border with few checks of any kind. The Mexigummint would have provided her with water and maps across the desert, all the way to Vegas. It beats the “horrid air blower.”
Most of the security people in the US are low paid and poorly trained.
Unfortunately, this is true. Many of them are retards. No tolerance TSA regulations are written so that security people do not have to think. Just blindly follow the rules and search 90-year-old grandmothers.
What does “jumping the shark” mean?
Are stories like this published to cause us to cease supporting them or simply because the media know there are people dumb enough to fall for such crap?
IMHO Morry Amsterdam was the funniest, but I’m not an expert, being a Presbyterian!
I don't why how in the world an Israeli (non-Arab) professional white female has to go through more than the primary screening. How on earth are candidates for the the more extensive screening singled out? I suppose it's at the whim of the TSA agent at the location. For that reason alone, I can understand her anger, but to call the place where she was a "gas chamber" is over the top.
Poorly trained or not, the TSA screeners were doing their job and this woman is a crybaby. The esteemed doctor doesn’t bother to tell us if her carry-on luggage or her shoes pinged a false positive on the explosives wipe, which seems to me to be very likely given the triple screening she went through.
Agreed, although I'm not old enough to recall some of the older ones. Plus, Mason is among the few with good political instincts and is unafraid of attacking some PC "sacred cows".

So air is a chemical weapon now? Oh dang.
Two Jewish tailors were talking:
Tailor #1: I went on vacation to Rome last year and I got to meet the Pope!
Tailor #2: What sort of man is he?
Tailor #1: 46 long.
