Otherwise known as Those Stupid A**holes wanted me to take off my wedding band and send it through the x-ray machine. WTF!? Between having to put all liquids in those see through anti-terrorist ziplock bags, not being able to carry any liquid in anything over a 3.0 oz. container, and having to take my shoes off I'm ready to say the bad guys have won. Also, the inconsistency from one airport to another is ridicules. If someone wants to do something bad on a plane they will find a way whether or not you have confiscated all of the fingernail clippers, hair gel, or cuticle scissors.

 

Uh, OK. Blame the President of The United Stated of America, everyone else does.

 

Bad day?

 

I agree, ridicules.

 

OK

You're only now "ready" to say this?!

They won the day the TSA was formed . . .

But it's not only the "terrorists" that won, this administration created the damn TSA, and has them doing all this crap and having us jump thru hoops to keep us in fear, which just furthers their power. So it's a win-win for both Shrub & Co. and "the evil-doers" . . . (they're one and the same in case you haven't noticed).

 

When they make me take out my piercings.....then I'll be pissed.

I don't blame President Bush anymore than I blame the GOP controlled House and Senate when the GOP had both. I don't blame the GOP anymore than I blame The Dems. They are both the problem and have offered no real solutions to any of our current day issues. A lot of blame can be laid at the foot of the idiot that sits at home and doesn't vote or doesn't take the time to research an issue and be informed or get involved thinking it doesn't matter. I just don't like being jerked around and having smoke blown up my a**. The TSA, Homeland Security, the various acts and bills that get passed that little by little strip away our freedoms make me no more safe today than I was September 10, 2001.
It's just the absurdity of it all. I bump the metal detector walking through which sets it off and because the lady with the power and the TSA patch on her shirt can't see any obvious metal objects on me like a belt, watch, or glasses she thinks to herself that maybe its his wedding band. And so what if that was what was setting it off. What do they think it is, a bomb? Maybe I was able to fashion an explosive device from some highly reactive material and shape it in the form of a wedding ring. sofakingwetardid! I need one of these and a few of these

 

Deal with it! If you have a better plan put it in motion....it won't happen over night and thats where most people give up. If you don't like the president get out there and vote, change peoples minds. This country rocks if you don't like try living somewhere else........

 

Yup. I never liked flying anyway. When the generation that raised in these times begin using the airports they will just take it in stride and consider that it has always been like this.

 

its all bushes fault. and those crazy republicans.........

 

You must of missed the Lord of the Rings trilogy....
Some rings can have a great power and if used for the evil, could reek havoc upon our great nation!

 

I probably shouldn't incriminate myself so don't tell anyone but...

I snuck a 4 oz bottle of contact lens solution in with my ziplock baggie. Further, I did not take said ziplock baggie out of my carry on. Shhhh!

I actually heard a great idea from a talk guy on the radio. He bought a bottle of hair gel on his trip, it was something like 12 or 16 oz; you really can't find anything smaller unless it's a sample from the salon or barber. Anyway, he was worried about throwing away $6 worth of hair gel but then came up with a brilliant plan...just stick it in his pocket. Yep, and walk right through the metal detector with it. Problem solved.

 

Unfortunately the Land of The Free is no longer free because of the terrorists.

 

"The Land of the Free" has never been free.
