hahaha, may only cause some heating effects. I hope they do some big tests, before trying to cook you on the airport.

Well this will make the airport even more horrible *sigh* I don't want to offend anyone but I'm all for racial profiling, I'm not racist at all it's just that the people who blow up planes are Muslim not Christians, Buddhist's, atheist's or any other religion other than Islam. I'm not attacking you moderate Muslim's just the radical ones.

Now if they can make a hand held version it might level the playing field between passenger and airport personnel.

Good thing we can all recognize a Muslim when we see one, then, since they all look like.

I volunteer to test it when they do - not necessarily at the airport though

I think racial profiling is a waste, the bombers will just find a different profile to use. Personally I think that this whole TSA nonsense is a huge money pit that's just making everyone wish they took the train.

They're already planning to put the TSA in charge of both trains and long-distance buses, last I heard, Mortis.

How long till you need to apply to the local office for permission to go and visit your grandma at Thanksgiving?

And isn't this what Osama is hoping for...

Mortis · 03-11-2011, 05:55 AM

Yep, I can hear it now.. "Vher are your papers, vhat do you mean you have no papers, guards, guards!!!

I find it amazing that the powers that be haven't looked into the history books a little, this is how all good Communist states started, unless they were overthrown from outside their borders. I just can't see Canada bothering or Mexico having a chance

No, but Canada may build a really big wall to keep the insanity to the South.

You can recognize them by their distinctive Muslim garb.

No Christians have ever tried to blow up buildings or impede transportation in the US. Health clinics, of course, don't count; women who are stupid enough to seek prenatal care at a clinic that provides abortion deserve to risk being attacked or killed on their way to visit their doctor.

(Hey, moderators? Where's the "sarcasm" font button?)

Sounds like a wise idea.

Mortis · 03-11-2011, 09:56 AM

Lets hope Canada decides to do it soon, I may be heading back soon. The last international flight I took was from Dubai to Malaysia, and the amount of time wasted by security, zero, zip nadda, I spent maybe 5 minutes waiting in line to check in, show my passport and wham bam thank you ma'am, I was sitting in my seat drinking a tall cool drink.

I have never had any problems flying in SE Asia or the Middle East.

Lets face it, Osama won, look at the mess in the airports, docks, train stations, bus terminals and border crossings. If all the terrorists wanted was to cause confusion and make the government waste billions, they have exceeded their expectations.
And as a bonus, Americans gave up many rights and freedoms, most Americans don't even know the ones they lost.
