Hey, I'm Irish, you left out nasty dispositions and bad tempers. Then after the fight we all go to the bar for a pint...We spit on the french, but take umbrage at jerk ..GG

I still fly as a consultant about once a month and have never had a problem with them. Get your inspection and move on.

[AGreatPer]

My only complaint is some of these idiots do have a smirky ass attitude.

Just being a follower or convert to Islam does not a terrorist make.

Why so hostile? You think this was a good idea then?

“Just being a follower or convert to Islam does not a terrorist make.”

No, but it’s a good start. What I meant to convey was that not all Muslims are going to look like Middle Easterners. They have blue-eyed blond Muslims in Albania/former Yugoslavia, and the odd Californian in the States. The terrorists we’re worried about the most now are those willing to die to make their point. A hijacker taking over a plane is passe’. You have to worry about a suicide bomber with a couple pounds of C4 carried internally.

“Why so hostile? You think this was a good idea then?”

Didn’t mean to sound hostile, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be called a jackboot-licker soon. “Good idea” is relative. If you can’t profile by appearances, then everyone is a suspect. Short of very invasive searches or very good explosive dectection technology, you’re just pissing in the wind.

[tuckrdout]

Yep. Dogs should be outside, and inside. They do excellent work.

[tuckrdout]

You are right. And the terrorists will opt for private aircraft as well.

Honestly, they are going to strike in places we are not looking, with very little oversight.

Who are you stuck next to in traffic? Check it out.

I went thru a recent physical pat-down on a ferry boat in New York City

If you have to undergo a pat-down on a damned ferry in NYC, Achmed has won.....period.

That's what terrorism is all about - Achmed has won.

I’m of English/Irish/Scotch descent myself, so I feel free to pick on them.

:O) With your ancestral background I will walk carefully...they are all fighters, well, except the English I think....:O) I grew up with the saying there are only 2 kinds of people in the world, those that are Irish and those that wish they were..but that was a looooonnnng time ago...We do also share some Scottish background also.

I was able to follow only 1 branch of the family tree back to the 1700’s and found some scotty’s in there.

Went to the Mormon site for genealogy on my mother side, listed dates of birth, death, where buried (if known) who they married etc...one ancestor was buried Atlantic Ocean. I guess they died crossing the ocean....

I guess you still think it is OK to feel up old white women, you dog.

TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said a review of closed circuit TV footage from the airport shows “proper procedures were followed.”

Which TSA regulation allows for recording the private screening area?
