Sarah, I assume you meant that you are flying to (not from) SF on Monday, right? If you are already here, send me an e-mail about how to contact you and maybe we can get together for a drink/bite if you have time (I mean food - no groping, we're both married, LOL). Supposed to rain this weekend, but dry skies after that. :drinkup ADG |

UGH! I am flying 'from'. I have been here since the 12th. However,I am coming back in April(ish) time for longer. I already mentioned to Baddog that would mind doing a small webmaster get together. I don't know if you remember Tofu (used to work for adult.com) but he is in this area too and we met up last night and he is still doing sites and up for it too. So, hopefully next time! When I got here, the weather was amazing...not so much yesterday and today..lol |
you have to do that?!
|
I want the police to look at me naked
|
there have been reports of middle eastern men yelling "don't touch my junk" and being let on without a pat down. there we be a bomb going off on a plane because of this mark my words ...

these scanners and grope sessions do nothing to prevent it. |
If they want to put us through all of this they can at least give us a free checked bag.
|
i think what might work better is if the passengers patted each other down. sort of like those seminars or meetings where you shake the hand of the persons sitting beside you. that might help relieve some of the anxiety.
|
have they implemented the Scanner Fee and the Pat-Down Fee yet?
you know they will, it's just a matter of time. |

I was groped in London and Shannon back in 07 (I think that's when we were there??). And I've yet to know ANYONE who's gotten picked to be groped in the states. Many of my friends are disappointed :(
I'm just trying to figure out how to get groped w/o having to buy a plane ticket. |

In the end, there was no choice. I had to go through the naked scan thing and so did everybody else.

Whilst completely acknowledging how ridiculous security in the US is and how annoying it is to even have to take off your shoes now, it's completely fascinating watching people complain about radiation from the machines. The ignorance shown is astounding.
Firstly, there are two types of machines, one doesn't use radiation, secondly, if you are worried about radiation, DON'T FLY. Complaining about backscatter imaging before flying is like complaining about the carcinogenic effect of the alcohol in one beer someone is forcing you to drink before you get to drink your 150 beers. Flying irradiates the shit out of you. Does no one know this? |

Nobody flys more than JFK...
If the policy stays in place he is going to have sore balls from rough TSA agents and enough radiation to make his mustache fall off. :( |

People, there will be no boycotting. There will be no protests. There will however be a ton of patriot terrorist scared people in line approving everything and anything the govt says is good for their safety. So do yourself a favor and accept everything they give you. The sooner the better.
What I don't however understand is why don't the evil bad terrorists blow up buses. Can you imagine having all the petting and scanning done before you enter a bus. The money spent on the safety... It's a free country. And you get to glow in the dark, too. |
Being molested can sometimes be a good thing...

its all about the money, plain and simple.
After the arrest of the underwear bomber last Christmas, (former U.S. Homeland Security chief Michael) Chertoff hit the airwaves and wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post advocating the full-body scanning systems without disclosing that Rapiscan Systems was a client of his firm. The aborted terror plot prompted the Transportation Security Agency to order 300 machines from Rapiscan. Yet last spring, the Government Accountability Office reported that, "It remains unclear whether [the scanners] would have been able to detect the weapon" used in the aborted bombing attempt. And according to a recent report by DHS's Inspector General, the training of airport screeners is rushed and poorly supervised. In the past year and a half, $118 million in stimulus funds have been used to buy technology from Rapiscan, but all that money hasn't produced many jobs -- the ostensible purpose of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In fact, it accounts for only 84 positions, according to a HuffPost analysis of government data, meaning roughly $1.4 million was spent to create each job. Rapiscan has upped its lobbying expenditures in recent years, spending $271,500 so far this year compared to $80,000 five years ago, USA Today reports. |
