Airport inSecurity 2008


"Flight 334 to Brussels leaving in 15 minutes from Gate 12"


"Mr. Lake...please remove all your clothing..put them in this bin..yes even those....

now please put on this terry robe for the flight..your clothing will be waiting for you when you disembark.."


"This way..Mr. Lake to the dental chair where the saliva will be suctioned out of your mouth...
good...."


"Boarding Pass..please...please dab that bead of sweat off your forehead before boarding..

"Thank you Mr. Lake...Enjoy your flight......"


On a heavier note...I found this poem in the pile of discarded preflight items..

They came for the boxcutters..I didn’t say anything..because I'm not a boxcutter
They came for the tweezers...I didn’t say anything..because I'm not a tweezers
They came for the shoes...I didn’t say anything..because I'm not a shoe
They came for the water bottles....I didn’t say anything..because I'm not a waterbottle
Then they came for me....and there was no one left to say anything

-Mascara

Stacy,

It won’t be funny when they will start to implement David’s prophesy.

David,

I am glad to hear your pa is still alive. For a minute I thought that he is...

(Stacey, what is "ROFLMAO?")
David, I fear that what you say (very funny, but simultaneously sad)might come to fruition. Problem is, they should be more concerned about behavior profiling than ridiculously focusing on the materials. I saw a TV news report & interview where the interviewee brought Israeli airport security up as an example we should follow: a deep interview of the passenger with specific questions, while observing his/her behavior. The US doesn't do that. It just makes you take off your shoes (!)

Very funny thanks for the laugh. Yeah it should not come true. Although some of it is true already.

All these security precautions, and when I flew out last week, they had everyone's checked bags sitting around the ticket counter, already checked, where anyone could slip anything inside. Didn't make me feel terribly safe.

i agree with lady-light, i think the reason they need to implement all these ridiculous precautions is because the poele working at the airport dont take it seriously, and dont actually use their brains when they do it. they function on automatic pilot!

they once took away a pair of tweezers i had on me, but let me on with a hooka (which is basically a big heavy glass bottle and a big steel rod) because it wasnt on their list of dangerous objects. how ridiculous!

Mookie you own a hooka?!?! Scandalous, lol.

Unfortunately I know from firsthand experience that a lot of the secrutiy people are on a power trip. Besides what do you expect from these literally retarded people earning minimum wage anyway.

when I fly they barely even check my id. I flash it, they look and I board. I've never had problems flying. even international it's easy to get on the plane. now coming back is a whole different story.
