The Angry Ghost of Bob Stinson

[Berunda]

Right! The anthrax letters. How could I forget those? When I was working at the New York Times the building was shut down about a hundred times over anthrax scares.

So Bamah and her friend stayed over Wed. night. Since I had to get up so early the next day, we didn't stay up all night partying. We did manage to have some pizza, drinks, and shrimp. It was fun, but I wish I coulda stayed up longer.

I hate having to walk around the airport in my goddamn socks.

Airport security is too stupid and poorly paid to catch any terrorists.  Can we just admit that and get them to leave us alone?

[Poop Fresh-Herbed Pickles]

The terrorists are not passing through US airport security anyway.

Now the government want to make a list of countries subject to "enhanced security."

The terrorists will see the list and just board in different countries.

How stupid is our government?

Have you ever noticed that "enchanced" is the buzzword for torture?

Now playing in every airport in America — Security Theatre

A riveting production, largely dialogue free, in which a high school drop out rent-a-cop drowsily treats everyone as a suspect. Babies get their shoes taken off, nuns get wanded, ounces and ounces of yogurt is disposed of. It's fun for the whole family. Everyone goes home feeling "safer"

It's what I've always said too.  Airport security is nothing but theater.

An interesting read for anyone who has ever been treated like a criminal for forgetting the toothpaste in your carry-on.

What I think is stupid is they confiscate containers based on the LISTED WEIGHT and don't bother to check the actual weight.  Idiot security guy just reads the label.

Plenty of "travel size" lotions come in a tube just as large as a toothpaste tube, but list a weight low enough to be allowed on board.  So what's being accomplished by throwing out toothpaste?

I'm at school, so no facebooking for me.

Here's my favorite airport security story. I was once traveling with a mandolin, and when I brought it through security a guard opened the case and said "Can you play this for me?" I politely demurred, saying the strings were detuned for travel, somehow assuming he was also a musician. He says, no shit, "I need to see you play this because it's a potential security risk." Obligingly, I start to bring it out of the case, and as I do he snaps "do not point it at me!" I gave an atonal strum, he was satisfied, and I now sleep securely with the knowledge that all bluegrass instruments are being thoroughly checked to make sure they haven't been secretly converted into directional string bombs that shoot flames from the headstock.
