Airport travelers, great read

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20298840...eek/?gt1=10252

I can relate to this. Long security line at Huntsville. I removed belt, shoes cleaned out my pockets thought I was good to go. Went through the detector and was pulled out of line and sent to the 'glass room'. As the TSA agent was going over me with the hand wand, I noticed my large ring and said, "That ring has never got me pulled before." I assumed a light went off when I passed thru.

He said, "Oh, you didn't trip anything. You were standing in line with your hands in your pockets.".

The article above makes perfect sense to me.
I knew it was coming.
But I don't care, just keep me safe.

HELP ME! LORD HELP ME! JUST PROTECT ME AND KEEP ME ******* SAFE!
OH I'M SO ******* SCARED!

(that guys not smilin, get'em!)

Yep, that will get you. In the past one of the things they asked me to do if the detector went off was cover my belt buckle with my hands. They probably thought he was trying to sneak something through.

Obviously I wouldn't walk through the detector with my hands in my pockets,
he was referring to the 45 minutes I had stood in line. I'm sure I also picked my nose and scratched my ***.

Well, I wont be traveling by air no mo.

I never smile and have the face that would make a train take a dirt road. I'm so damn ugly I have to trick or treat over the phone.

If these buttplugs are going by facial expressions, I'll never get on board and it would be a complete waste of my time.

I hate tree huggin hippies.

Well, in my case, nothing I do, will keep me from being pulled into the glass room like Raoul.

It sucks to be as ugly as me man, you have no idea.

Well every time I go to an airport I have to be pulled over for "extra screening" because I'm on a TSA watch list because my name is so common and could possibly used as a pseudonym for a terrorist. I mean I'm all for safety and protecting America but having to be pat down and searched over three or four different times when I'm in the airport just because I have a "common name" is rediculous.

I could go into the horror story I experienced when I traveled back to the US from Paris but I don't have that much time

PS in case anyone is speculating I was never cavity searched
