this country has officially gone down the drain

saw this story today and I dont even know what to say....airport security is getting a bit ridiculous. I seriously believe the terrorists could be winning this one because all it takes is the actions of one to change our daily lives and make our govt paranoid....but seriously this is just retarded

[unwed_transient]

it was the actions of several people and the profound consequences of a lapse in security that changed air travel and made the gov paranoid.

people always use the rare examples of moderate absurdity to criticize the higher scrutiny.

[Dousan_PG]

well
if u want to be strict, has to be even across the board
no sippy cups
no bottled water

anyways

[eastcoastS14]

meh I was only being half serious about that...I still think this situation is ridiculous

[Dousan_PG]

i guess ud have to see the vid about her actions.

but i dont think it is
america has shitty security
people border hop everyday
we got no legal id on us 1/2 the time

you want to be safe? you have to make sacrifices. kid can refill his sippy cup past security. buy water there. done. loss of maybe 30 mins w/o sippy cup. life goes on .im sure it will endure harder challenges later in life.

[chmercer]

TSA is fags anyway

My dad had a huge knife in his carry-on bag, and he forgot it was in there, and the airport security didn't even find it.

What a weird incident. She did look like she spilled it intentionally. I do think there was some unneccessary hassling though.

[Edgar]

they are just doing thier job i guess

media takes shit to the next level, like always

[Phlip]

Sure, they were doing their job at the airport, but someone explain this shit:

ha now thats fucked up....how do you sleep at night after deporting a retarded guy

[Phlip]

ha now thats fucked up....how do you sleep at night after deporting a retarded guy

A retarded guy who you SHOULD have legal papers on, such as US birth certificate and everything else you should need, that shit is saddening and fucking DUMB

[fliprayzin240sx]

I still dont fucking get the liquid shiet. If I fucking drink it in front of you, would it be fucking explosive? Whats worst was this shiet started the same week I flew back to Philippines (3 days to be exact). Imagine the mayhem in the airport since nobody (TSA) had no fucking clue what to look for. 20 hr flight was fucking horrible.

[eastcoastS14]

worst part of the liquid explosive thing was that it proved to be completely false....they busted the guys who they believed were plotting to blow up planes with liquid explosives based on intel they recieved but they found no proof that they had developed or were in posession of liquid explosives

[fliprayzin240sx]

You'd think they have an idea by now as far as what theyre exactly looking for. Liquid is too fucking general...It gotta be more specific than that. Is it thick with the same consistency as oil? Color? Smell? Taste? etc etc

[eastcoastS14]

yeah i mean hate the fact that just because of the actions of one guy we are all affected. guy puts a bomb in his shoe, take off your shoes...guy gets liquid explosives, no liquids on planes...so stupid

[fliprayzin240sx]

I should tell TSA that farts are explosive...I can light my fart on fire and has a nice fireball depending on how much bean/cheese burrito I ate. I wonder if theyll slap a felony on your ass for farting after the security screening area.

[kouki_s14]

I heard on the radio a few weeks back that some actor(name slips my mind) was stopped and questioned.

Security asked him what he was doing at the airport.
he replied, "I'm here to shoot a pilot"
He meant "shoot a pilot" as in film a pilot episode for a new tv show.
Security took him into custody and it took them 6 or so hours to realize what he really meant.

[C. Senor]

that's a pretty sad day right there. we should be bombing people instead of arresting people over a damn sippy cup, or like the other day when they caught 36 cholo's found out they were all illegal and shipped them the hell out. not ship out the handicapped guy.

[S14Josh]

When i went to florida a couple months ago i had a big ass waterbottle in my pocket. I forgot to take it out as i went through the security checkpoint.

They didnt even notice untill after i had collected my backpack from the scanner. it was more of a "DAMNIT BOB! That guy just walked right past you with a possible explosive in his pants...GRAB IT!"

[jilo]

fuck the liquid explosives, that was die hard. and this country has been fucked for years, its just much more obvious now

[ixfxi]

i carried a massiv bomb once..... onto a plane.

it was fucking MASSIV, serious.


anyway, TSA let me on.. no problem. i even showed them de BOMB. I said to them "this is a massiv.... massiv bomb..... and it blows up, like a bit of dynamite... MC [email protected]!$!" .. the lady looked at mi face........ NICE. looked at mi BLING............. NICE. looked at mi DONG........

VERY NICE.
