Just a headline so far.

This is the third time in two days this has happened.

[LibFreeOrDie]

The perp is a man in his 40’s wearing a Bruins shirt and a cap.

(He’s probably just an obnoxious Beantown sports drunk.)

[Liberty Valance]

LOL!

[3boysdad]

Yes sir to that! And I love your tagline.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I don’t travel for the company anymore.

I have been ‘in the middle’ of some ‘stuff’ in the past.

Gird your loins...AMERICA.

Any idea how many Muslims work for the TSA?

[xjcsa]

Maybe, but someone on another thread pointed out that being a wannabe terrorist and being an idiot are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Very true. Intent and ability aren't necessarily related.

This garbage doesn’t happen on El Al!

That's true, El Al is the safest airline flying however their passenger volume is low in comparison to the balance of the commercial carriers. The low volume lets their psychological profile interview technique work without creating substantial delay.

If all air carriers did as El Al does during boarding checks, the system would grind to a halt. Prospective passengers would have to arrive WAY in advance to overcome the bottleneck.

No question TSA screening is a farce. The only way I can see to fix security and keep people moving is to ban carry on luggage (use bomb scan technology on everything) and require passengers to fly nude. That ought to do it...

RE> and require passengers to fly nude. That ought to do it...

And that might just get me flying again. I just am not wanting to subject my family to the current program.

[ArmstedFragg]

I just am not wanting to subject my family to the current program.

...And I'm not wanting to subject my family to the sight of me nude...

[Vendome]

;-)

[Vendome]

I got a bunch of these at the dollar store the other day “/s”

[Vendome]

Tut, tut....Amish?

Hell there’s a joke there.

Laz’ll probably hit it.

[Vendome]

and throw it back at his dead body, like playing basketball with a mannequin.

[Vendome]

LOL

[Vendome]

Veyeh Clevuh.

I’m all in for 1/4.

Though if a particularly dumb nOOb Troll gets that axe and it amuses me....

[Vendome]

I would breathe a sigh of relief and overcome with joy order two bloody mary’s.

[Vendome]

OH that’s good.

Next time I fly commercial I should carry some and if they ask...I’ll just shrug my shoulders and point to the cross right next to it.

[Secret Agent Man]

After being in the crowd that subdues this idiot (you can’t open the doors pressurized), I would literally beat the sh1t out of him or her.

[ri4dc]

Good point, I might not want to subject my family to the sight of you nude either. ;-)

“We believe Yemenis, and all Moslems,
have a right to open all airplane cabin doors at any time.
They are 'our people' and so it is their right under allah.
Today, we are filing in Federal Court to charge
anyone daring to interfere with these door openings
with a ‘hate crime’.”
