NeoConMan Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 South African registration? What? So? Little side business I have . . . I was actually looking for a good pic of an unpresurized Cessna 210 Turbo. That's the first one I found. It would be an "N" number if it was mine.

Bender 4 Life Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I probably couldn't ever fly public airlines anyhow, my surgeon refused to give me a "verification card" for this: because I told him he was a quack and threatened to sue him for ripping a muscle in the back of my neck installing it. I'd probably have a meltdown when TSA wanted to "poke thru my stuff" anyhow, I value my privacy a little more than that, you know, something in our CONSTITUTION about unreasonable search.

TommyK Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I dunno. If it's what we have to do to keep the bad guys from getting on board, then so be it. I mean the other alternative is to pass out the pistols and switchblades along with the boarding passes so we're all armed. There is value in that idea. Besides, at my age and girth, it's the only way I can get a perfect female stranger to look at me all nekked. Tip: Leave your cell phone in your shirt pocket, so you have to go through the scanner twice, so she gets a REAL good look at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 The wife and I have a simple fix for all the Airline crap. We don't fly. No body cavity searches, no invasion of privacy, no price gouging for luggage or any of that piracy. Screw 'em. We'd rather pay Neo's family for the gas and drive, anyway. It does get a little damp on the way to Hawaii, tho.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 There ya go. I absolutely, positively hate to fly commercial - refuse to do so if at all possible. I have several tactics I use to steer the odds a little better my way if I must. I dunno. ... pistols and switchblades along with the boarding passes ... There is value in that idea. Arm the flight crew. Problem solved. www.tsa.gov/lawenforcement/programs/ffdo.shtm I know three commercial pilots who completed the program on their own time, at their own expense.

Pixel Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'd probably have a meltdown when TSA wanted to "poke thru my stuff" anyhow, I value my privacy a little more than that, you know, something in our CONSTITUTION about unreasonable search. Constitution? Really? Sorry, no. If you live within 100 miles of a coastline or international border, or enter an airport, you are in a Constitution-free zone. Your rights are suspended. Period. Go to the ACLU website and see for yourself. Step 2 of our march towards official martial law. I have a plan for the next time I fly, if I am selected for the porn scan or genital grope. I guarantee you, it will make at least local news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Just down the road from me in the Arizona desert; With Phoenix widely reported as the kidnapping capital of the USA last year, how many reasons do I need to: 1. Load up on guns & ammo at home and travel armed at all times. 2. Get PISSED at the "job" being done by those paid to protect the nation. 3. Personally call and harass ANY business stupid enough to pick up labor in a truck with their phone number on it. 4. Turn Town Hall meetings into disciplinary hearings with a public audience to judge treasonous appointees. 5. Attend every rally or march "they" hold. 6. Piss in the ear of every reporter I encounter at said functions. 7. Remind any citizen who cares that this is still OUR nation until we finish surrendering it.

NeoConMan Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Refusal of Airport Screening is Internet Hit Nov. 15, 2010 Associated Press SAN DIEGO - A man who refused a body scan and pat-down search at a San Diego airport has become an Internet sensation in the debate weighing fliers' security versus their privacy. John Tyner posted a cell phone audio recording of his half-hour encounter Saturday at Lindbergh Field. The software engineer couldn't board a flight after refusing a full-body scan that reveals an image of what's under his clothes. He also wouldn't allow a Transportation Security Administration worker to conduct a groin check. Tyner tells the worker, "If you touch my junk, I'm gonna have you arrested." Tyner's blog says he left the airport - but only after being threatened with a lawsuit and fine for failing to complete security screening. A TSA statement Sunday said body scans and pat-downs make flying safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have been asked three times in the last year if I can take my leg off before going through security? They look right at it and ask me if I can walk without it and it is clearly artificial from the knee down. On each of those occasions when I have explained that I can't take more than one step then I fall down, they have called the supervisor over. How smart is that, My dog has this figured out but them ??? The body scanners are just another huge waste of money so that the TSA can justify that they exsist.

cookieman15061 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yeah I fly four times a year on vacation and other than the hassle of taking off my shoes and throwing my money and phone in a bucket I've had no problems. Oh one time I did get caught smuggling 10 oz. of suntan lotion. Ticked me off that stuff cost a fortune at the resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeppers If we could ask the people that were on flights 11 N334AA, 175 N612UA, 77 N644AA, 93 N591UA and the people that were murdered in the twin towers.... My guess is they would be for tighter security at airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I wonder what would happen if somebody told everybody in the departure terminal to stop and drop their pants and shake their weiners around. I'll bet that about 20% of people would reach down and start doing it. Its just human nature. A certain percentage of people like to have someone else doing their thinking for them and making sure their lives are "secure". In all my years I don't believe I've ever witnessed more foolishness than what's going on with the TSA. Some mentally disabled guy with firecrackers in his sneakers and now everybody takes their shoes off. Some guy tries to make a bomb with weed and feed and everybody thinks the guy is one step away from blowing up the world. I don't fly much so its not for me to decide, but its pretty comical how scared everybody is about terrorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Seriously? You guys are worried about TSA agents looking at an image of you that looks nothing like a naked human body? It's not like they're doing it "for kicks"...personally, i'd rather them be overprotective than lax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Flew for the first time two years ago, I got pulled aside and got the extra search. I don't get why everyone gets all defensive about it. I mean its not like I was groped or anything, it took an extra five minutes. I found it hilarious when the lady told me to step to the side for an extra search, I look fearsome Sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
