No way - I fly 80+ times a year. Most are too young to be retired. the majority are way too dumb to be retired Police or Fire Department employees.
“and entering one requires one of two things; a sense of humor,”
Sorry Rita but all I could think of when I read your response was men who say to women who have been raped. “ just lie back and enjoy it”
Sorry about the graphic language, but, I could not stand still and allow you to continue to be insulted.
I don’t fly. I get to say “if you don’t like it, don’t fly”
You just quoted Janet Napolitano, the author of much of the fascist crap we are talking about.
Lottery winner. Some TSA bull dyke decided it was time to get her rocks off and the lady was culled from the herd for some feely fun.
You know, I’ll bet if you wore a burka you’d get waved through, because supervisors wouldn’t want passengers snapping images of the burka-clad woman getting manhandled.
Have your husband grow a thin Muslim beard, and visibly photograph your search, and watch all of them get on eggshells fast. Total cost might be $20 on ebay, just claim you just converted.
Regular Americans are sane, and thus can be pushed around but the Muslims will storm that place, and a supervisor is smart enough to know that.
Ask them yourself. 20 years in PD/FD makes one 38-40. Many are ex Military after 4-8 years or active reserves. There are many in school. That leaves about 1/2 of the rest of others. But, I’ve talked to many regarding this subject. You’d be surprised.
Yes, I am brand new to FR, but that my dear makes you no less of a drama queen.
When politicians start blathering about how much Islam has contributed to the US, this is pretty much the only real contribution - acts of terrorism which have led to full body scans which violate every norm of privacy, removing shoes and belts like inmates on their first day in prison, and staggering out afterward, shoes in hand and trying to keep your pants up. Thanks for enriching America, Islam!
I don’t. I keep my ass out of their airports and their airplanes. I have a perfectly good vehicle. When I want to or need to go somewhere, I drive.
That's okay, Sport! The very same phrase was running through my mind (and out of my mouth to my husband) the whole time.
I can handle the stupid flak, because I know what I'm talking about here, and I won't budge an inch on it. This is the very definition of "unreasonable search" as cited in the Fourth Amendment.
And yet people STILL flock to airports and fly.
Give them a few weeks of refusing to fly and you would see some changes made. I decided a few years ago that I had “seen the world” and there was no where on this plant worth me going through this aggravation of flying anymore. If I cant drive, I dont need to be there.
And yes you are right.. thank Islam for this.
You should be banned from FR for that comment
You should be careful. Your ignorance is showing. The many people here who know me could set you straight on your gross misperception.
I will back you up to have him banned
i would think you are correct, at least for the people who are able to exercise the option to drive.
It’s not called the ‘Airline Security Administration’. It’s called the ‘Transportation Security Administration’.
Just wait till they install checkpoints on major highways.
Personally, when someone such as you obviously has so little self control so that was your reply for something as simple as someone pointing out your gross overreaction to something that 100,000 other Americans every day realize is a necessary inconvenience was so personal and out of bounds.... quite frankly I’m very glad they checked you very thoroughly for firearms.
Oh, it's still okay, but I was thinking of a different phrase--the grabbing of the P-word. Your point was still well-taken, though.
I haven’t flown for five years because of this crap. I simply get in the car, tune in Rush, and watch the sky as the contrails cross over head thinking to myself ‘You Damned Fools’.
Also, get to take my own food so I’m not exposed to any health risk due to a diseased third-worlder handling my food.
So it takes me an extra day or two. BFD.
