LA airport security has been tighten!

[V-te]

I believe that the gov is going way to far with this. The US must surely have 308,264,000 terrorists living within.

Me make sense no post makes your to.

I meant that they are checking everyone. As if every single one of us is a terrorist.

Anybody could be a terrorist, so making sure people aren't going to blow something up is the best way of attacking the problem.

But using common sense, I would actually track down possible terrorists. It's not like everyone at every single airport is a terrorist.

If you know how to track down terrorists, please, tell the government.

I'm not saying I do, I'm saying that this isn't the best way to approach the situation. Besides even if they do find a "potential" terrorist, it is unlikely that they will do something about it.

If I really wanted to take over a plane and crash it, I would go with about 5 really strong (well-paid) people and take over with brute force.

I ALWAYS get stopped at the airports. They told me that Rubik's cubes look like pepper spray on the X-ray machine.

 

[ElderKingpin]

...that makes no sense at all.

Last month in Tampa, I got a "Random" search. Of course, rather than pulling anyone else, they see a kid with longish hair, stretched ears, headphones and visible tattoos. "Z0mg dat kid mst hav drugs!1!1!ONE!."

Pissed me off.

I'm sorry, but if you choose to look like the sort of person that is going to cause trouble, then you have to be prepared to take that sort of thing. It's your own fault, not the security's. The fact that it "pissed [you] off" inclines me to think that they made the right decision by it too.

When I had a beard I noticed I was treated significantly different. Quite reasonably, people think a guy with long hair and beard is the sort that will cause trouble. I had no problem with it. In fact, personally I thought it was nice to not be treated like a little kid all the time.

Well I AM the person who causes trouble, but they shouldn't just assume that . I get the not wanting to be treated like a kid thing, but it is a waste of time, and I am big about making my time as efficient as possible.


I just have bad luck with security guards in general. Not cops, but security. Thanks to a security D bag at my college I have a $300 fine facing me.

In the brilliant words of musician Corey Smith, F*** the Po-Po.

Imagine this.

*cuber solves rubik's cube*
Terrorist: Hey, you know how to solve the cube? Isn't that like impossible?
Cuber: No, I can solve it.
Terrorist: Then can you solve my cube? It's been scrambled for years.
*takes out cube scrambled that is lubed with NITROGLYCERIN*
Cuber: Of course!
*cuber touches cube*
Cuber: Hey why is this so wet?
Terrorist: Oh, my bag got soaked.
Cuber: Oh.
*cuber turns really fast*
KABOOOOOOOOOM
*nitroglycerin gets a shock and explodes causing the plane to blow up*

I hope i'm ok taking cubes and lube to japan.

Are nominations still being accepted for dumbest post of the year?

Over the summer I spent two weeks in Beijing. There was an amazing shop that had over 9000 weapon replica keychains.

Needless to say as I went through security I completely forgot that I had this buster sword, Zak's SOLDIER sword, and some other 1:8 swords in my carry on.

As I went through the check, which I had no concerns about as I had just survived the Chinese H1N1 screening procedure, I saw the security agents looking at the screen and start saying stuff in Chinese and laughing.

Then this serious looking 6' Chinese guard comes up to me and asks me to pick up my bag is like, "Knife". I have no idea what he's talking about so I start searching through my bag and come across my bag of small swords. I'm thinking, "WOOOOOOOOOOW of all the things to leave in my carry on". (I spent a decent amount of money on them and they're freaking cool)

So he walks me over to the security lead (who happens to be a really hot 20something Chinese girl). And she just starts laughing and says, "Final Fantasy" in chinese (which sounds something like "Bin-er Ban-dger"), and asks some of the other guards to come over and take a look. They all just look at the swords and start laughing. Some of them test the swords on thier hands to see if they are sharp. Then the girl gave me the most serious look she could and siad, "Don't use it on the plane".

I felt soooo good.

Admit it now, girls are very awesome is a billion ways.

Too bad they only have 15 second inspection time.

A-ha!
Inspector : (checking)
You : Hey! It's over 17 seconds! It's DNF, man! STOP INSPECTING!!!
