Starting Next Week, All Airline Passengers Must >
Starting next week, all airline passengers must take off their jackets before passing through metal detectors and will be subjected to pat-down searches and checks for explosives.
:BangBang: |
i can honestly say that doesnt surprise me at all
|
Whats wrong with that? Security measures already in place seem a lot more extreme. I'm a clean cut white dude and I get my shoes scanned and get patted down pretty often, plus they do explosive swabs on my laptop every time. :2 cents:

Juicy I bet you get checked a lot. |
?????
wtf!!! they always make me take off my jacket....even if the metal detector doesn't go off..... I think i've been getting owned. |
That happened to me last year when I arrived in FL. I had a suit on and I had to take everything off..Shoes and all because the detector kept going off. I found out that it was a gum wrapper setting it off.
Oh well..Whatever makes us safer. :( |
not a surprise but thanks for the information anyway...
|
That ain't the worst, they found out the 2 women who blew up those Russian planes had explosives in their vaginas :(
|
Don't they already do that? I"ve had them ask me to remove my shoes before.....a jacket is much easier.
|
they should have done that before! it's for the passengers to be more secured. it's for our own benefits!
|
for FLA while we were stuck at Laguardia I went out like 12 times to smoke so I had to go through 12x , no issues.
|
they should make everyone walk through naked :Graucho
|
I had to take off my shoes, and remove my belt, when I flew this week.
Fuck it, at least they didn't make me turn my head and cough. |
no problemo
I take off my jacket, belt, shoes already as I like to get thru' first time, not like those inconsiderate fucks who beep and then do "oh yeah" and start to pull out 50 bucks in quarters from 12 different pockets... I also like the old "dogs" and new (fibre disc things) combination for explosives detection. Oh and Pat down should be by a member of the OPPOSITE sex. Was this a little :offtopic ?.... :glugglug |
Whats wrong with that, they make people take off their shoes and belts so removing a jacket seems reasonable.

I get my shoes taken off every time. This is one of those situations where the commission is damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
They don't require this and someone gets through with a bomb in their jacket, the first thing that will happen is everybody bitching because they didn't check the jackets good enough. They do require this and we have everybody bitching that it's a pain, annoying, a hassle, etc. People just need to quit their bitching and realize that life isn't perfect. Sometimes it sucks and is a hassle. If they want to check my jacket for bombs, I have no problem with it. I can then feel comfortable knowing that Abdul will be getting his jacket checked as well. |

Well...I quit flying prior to all of the current "security" checks (because of my back) but even if I hadn't there is no way in hell that I would submit myself to...what I consider to be a humiliating experience.
I will not submit myself to questioning...or search of any kind...unless I have been placed under arrest...and even then I will be complaining. |
I am not surprised at all.... Hell, I got frisked coming back home from the Miami Internext! Almost missed my flight because of it!

They could strip you naked and put airmarshalls on every second row, but the plain simple fact is, when you get on the airplane there are literally thousands of metal objects that could be used as a weapon already on the plane... In business class they still give you metal knives or metal tea stir poker things, that are very lethal, your like 10 feet from the cockpit that is frequented by the stewards. Once you have a hostage or are in the cockpit , its over... You could down any 767 with a shoelace i bet.. Just play the odds and have 10 people hijack 767's with a shoelace and i can almost guarantee one would succeed.
With a small diamond stud chisel you could bust through an airplane window and de-pressurize the plane. Until they use the obvious solution that has already been explained many times to no avail.. THE COCKPIT SHOULD NOT BE ACCESIBLE FROM THE CABIN. That solves most of the problems right there. ( like 9/11 would never have happened ) They already have an access below the cockpit, they just need to bar the doors, and add an access from below. Very easy to modify almost every plane. I think to solve problems people need to think like criminals. Show me a good lock and i will stick a giant crack rock on the other side and watch how quick a crackhead gets it.. |
Every single one of who who finds this acceptable deserves to have every right you have taken away.
The fact that you are boarding an airplane does NOT make you a suspect in a crime that hasn't happened yet. There is no probable cause, and the Constitution and Bill of Rights describe unreasonable search and seizure. |

Some airports do that already.
I prefer to spend a little more time on security, so i'm not bothered. |

They should just strip search and body cavity search everyone!
They frisked my 12 year old son about 4 years ago at LAX. Against a wall and everything. He is the most innocent looking kid ever, well at least he used to be. |

on my way back from cali this weekend i was checking in for my flight in san fransico and while waiting in the line to go thru the metal detectors, there was a line of budest monks in their robes, shaved heads and man sandles... the security guards were taking an extra special liking to them... come on! they are MONKS

Better safe, then sorry I guess... :)

I never get searched.
Maybe it's because I always wear my leather WW2 pilot helmet. |

Nobody said it is acceptable, but nobody wants to be the guy putting up a fuss, and getting the cavity search behind the curtain - capice? |
Every time I've flown, I've always had more thorough security from canadian guards than US.
The last time I went through LAX the guy didn't even wave his little wand over me... and this was last summer when it was supposed to be a 'fuscia alert' or whatever the fuck that rainbow of fruit flavor system was set to. They had guys running around with supersized dentists' mirrors checking all the cars, but apparently the people were okay. Don't get me wrong, I have no desire to do a latex sphincter dance in some side room because I'm a foreign national... but hell, I'm a foreign national. How can you claim other countries are 'porous' and let through 'undesirables' when you don't even match my face to my passport half the time? :helpme |
