I'm really confused. I'm guessing I am a bit older than you, and I honestly don't recall any major changes in airport security. It's always been the same - they x-ray your bags, and you empty out your pockets and go through a medal detector. Every so often they pull people out of line for better search. Oh, now we have to take off our shoes. That's a big change.

I just went to Hawaii in September. I spend more time standing in line to get on the airplane than I did standing in line to pass through security. I'm just not seeing an issue here.

Usually I don't agree with you, but you are pretty much right on this.

From what I remember flying, they always xray'd your shit and you walked thru a metal detector. You do have to take your shoes off and stand in that big ass machine that owns you with cancer.

I think any flights that will land on US soil they require all that bs shit. But if you fly in the same countrys I dont think they require a assrape. (some of the europe people could speak up)

What happened on 9-11 was a bunch of guys with box cutters went into the pilots cabin. They had taken basic flight lessons.

Today there are sealed steel doors that cannot be breached on the pilots cabin.

As far as "deterrent", TSA didn't catch the shoe bomber or the underwear bomber. They've NEVER caught anybody...except for drugs.

"illegal substances" Give me a fucking break. What the hell happened to you people? You all sound like my grandfather or something.

Flying on a plane is supposed to be a luxury ride with good customer service. You know, the way it was designed to be. It wasn't supposed to be the gestapo searching you before they cram you on overfilled flights. lol

I'm telling you that I don't feel one tiny bit "safer" (though I never felt very unsafe to begin with) with TSA agents feeling up Claudia Marie's tits at security than I would if I could simply walk out on the tarmac and board my plane.

And my point about the numerous hijackings and the handful of planes that were blown up over the decades was simply to point out that the govt. is not looking for bombs by searching us at security.
If they were, they would have tried this shit a long time ago.

They are looking for drugs. Failed war on drugs = YOU are searched like you were a bomber.

Nobody blew any planes up or hijacked any planes for a long time before 9-11.
The hijackings in the past were political statements by "terrorists".

The planes that were blown up in mid-air were blown up by bombs hidden in the luggage. The bomber wasn't even on board in those few cases.

9-11 was a unique circumstance that was immediately rectified by putting the steel doors on the pilots cabin.

The rest of this is just an excuse to search us.

Since you are coming at me hard about this, I can only assume you feel "safer" flying now. Even though they've NEVER caught even one bomb. You say it's a "deterrent".
No, being willing to kill yourself (as a suicide bomber) is the deterrent.

There just aren't that many of them in this world (and everyday there are less...lol).
The searches did not deter or stop the shoe bomber or the underwear bomber.

If somebody is actually crazy enough to kill themselves they WILL find a way to get a bomb on that plane. And I guarantee you that the TSA will be too busy staring at Claudia Marie's tits, or fumbling around my dick looking for non-existant drugs, or strip searching somebody's grandma to catch that one crazy fuck that will do it.

Actually no...If any of you notice, the Security set ups at airports are all fairly new. Most of them are almost awkward because they weren't there when the airport was built.

Pre-911 you could take someone to the airport and walk all the way to the gate with them and say goodbye as they boarded their plane.

And when you picked someone up, you met them as they walked in off the plane in the terminal.

Yes, our checked luggage was searched sometimes (and I hate that because they steal anything of value). But walking through metal detectors and xray machines and being randomly frisked NEVER happened at any airport I flew out of pre-911.

I lived in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale in the 1980's and flew out of both those airports many times.
Starting in the 1990's the Atlanta airport was my airport as I moved to Atlanta and then South Carolina. (Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world...I think I would have noticed getting searched)

As recently as 2000 I picked up Darby (formerly of Lavish Cash) at GSP airport in South Carolina when he flew in for a business meeting from California. I waited for him at the gate. I went through ZERO security to walk up to that gate and pick him up.

What a fool pumping his own gas!!

Oh wait..

I pump my own gas too.. :(

I remember when he had the best well combed shinny hair few week ago.
His hair looks like Trump's now.

@Yanks_Todd This is off-off-topic, but what's the status of Yanks Cash?

A while back on here I remember y'all making an announcement that the affiliate program was shutting down.

But I still log right into the admin with no problem. Did you guys decide to continue the affiliate program? I haven't tried to promote Yanks Cash at all since that announcement.

In August of last year (2011) we announced that we were putting the program on the market. However since then we have decided not to sell.

However while the program was for sale, all traffic and sales were counted and all payments were made. Nothing changed

So please feel free to promote the program again and let me know if you need anything to do that. :2 cents:

Bump because I can!

It simply blows my mind that some people see something different in the Democrats.

It so painfully obvious.






.

in Oregon he doesn't :thumbsup

I think Jersey is another state that the residents are not capable of handling a gas pump.

Last time I went "home" to NJ I pulled into a gas station, jumped out of my car, and started pumping my gas. Gas station attendant looked at me like I was on crack.

yeah its real funny :) his net worth is a small $250 million

mitt romney had no strings attached sex with a black man, briefly, and at that very gas station. that is quite another thing from just feeling his droopy stenchy elderly penis up himself beside his car while pumping gas.

seriously, barack obama had the edge with the young people. bush, mccain and even clinton just not cool enough for school. policies of romney and so on before him just didn't appeal to the young people because they weren't socialist enough and too conservative. whenever you would see any of the republican candidates with children or teenagers they would be dressed like charlie churches wearing crosses around their necks and holding a holy bible. if the republicans had entered a frontrunning contender on the ticket a bit like ryan but less conservative and campaigned more about the fundamental needs of americans, not so much special interest in any way, shape or form, then he would have put up a strong fight and could have been elected president. when the special interests get recognised, it puts their necks out on the chopping block i can guarantee it.

nope.

maybe 2016 but knowing republicans they can never get anything right that's why i like democrat more than them. but then i don't like democrat much either really, the united states government needs more independent politicians.

democrat and republican, no difference, same shit different bucket and we all suffer go fuck yourself d.c.. :321GFY
