When are passengers going to be required to wear mandatory "airline flight suits" with velcro crotch flaps so cavity searches can be performed at any given moment? ....

"AIRPORT guards stopped a man boarding a plane for wearing a Transformers T-shirt showing a cartoon gun.
Brad Jayakody, 30, was shocked when he was told to change his top if he wanted to catch his flight from Heathrows Terminal 5.
IT consultant Brad on a British Airways trip with four colleagues to Dusseldorf, Germany asked to see the security chief.
He thought the boss would "see sense" but he backed up the decision and threatened him with ARREST."

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

sometimes we all have to sacrifice a litle liberty, for some security, right?
surely.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
so now you've got worried, eh?
I've forever wondered what it would take for the revolution to start.
Apparently its authoriarian opression of man's "right" to petty consumeristic "needs".
Take anything. Anything. But not my Transformers t-shirt.
lol.
i love you cate; it just made me chuckle.

Seriously...that's more or less an Onion caliber article.
:eek:

im not worried. im amused at the stupidity of people. and as usual the rising moron level never ceases to amaze me.
its a god damn tshirt for fucks sake. id be more concerned about the drunken fools that they allow on the plane.

They could of just said..."uhhhm...fuck dude you're 30 and you're wearing a transformers t-shirt in public...isn't that reason enough?"

Therefore, when ever I fly I think hard and visualize sweetpotato and Joan Rivers in an attempt to avoid any complications.
They're not worried about drunken foools on their planes cause they know they're making money selling $5 drinks.
Next it'll be what books or magazine you might read on or before boarding. Welcome to terrordome a taste of our future.
Peace

i wonder if an antiflag tshirt will be allowed. afterall the firearms that make up the star on that are broken.

There must be more to this or the world has gone loopy.
It is a nice t-shirt. I was wondering what if someone had a tatoo on his arm, would they want to remove his or her arm? I wonder if his complextion had something to do with this, If he was white and blond/blue eyed would this be an issue?
Just wondering.

I found this also more than a bit ridiculous at the end of the article:
"last year Gatwick guards made a woman hand over a beef sandwich before boarding, and last week a PhD student was stopped for wearing a gun-shaped charm necklace at an airport in Canada.
Hand over that sandwich or else!!!
and no suspicious looking trinket necklaces you jihad terrorist!!!
unbelievable....ya gonna hijack an airplane with a frickin sandwich anytime in this universe?

I'm looking at it now and they want to give this guy hell. What's needed is more attentive agents rather this kind of harassment.

I'm sure there was a guy refused entry to Australia a few years back because the t-shirt he was wearing was deemed offensive and a terrorist threat?
It was around the time of the WEF I think?
Anyway, I find it laughable that a t-shirt will get you thrown off the plane but I wander on with my walking stick and hyperdermics in my hand luggage.
I even had a customs guy at Auckland airport tell me I didn't look like a terrorist and to have a nice day!

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Anyone care to test this by carrying a copy of 'Guns & Ammo' on board their next flight. I certainly won't try it on my way to see Pearl Jam in New York, but I think I may be inclined to see what would happen on the way back home.
I'll keep y'all updated.

I heard this guy speak in DC and talked with him after. He said he felt humiliated my the whole episode.

Anyhow long story short, I'm about mid flight and I decide to open it up and play some Call of Duty 4. There's a level at the end where you run around inside a jet airliner shooting up people with an fully automatic machine gun. I had my headphones on, and I only played for about 5 -10 mins.
I wonder what they would have done to me if a stewardess saw this.

Without thinking about this particularly ridiculous example, you would say you'd be ready to get rid of security controls (some of which are severe breaches of your liberty to travel) in airports?
Yep total nerd.
The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
I mean what's he gonna do... hold em up with his tshirt? Well the airline staff are probably so dumb they might fall for it if he puts his finger behind the tshirt and tells them to 'stick em up' :rolleyes:
Funny how I can carry an umbrella on board in my bag (with SEVERAL metal pointy things sticking out of it) which I'm sure could CERTAINLY be used as a weapon somehow... but I'm gonna hold up the whole plane with my moisturiser?
Verona??? it's all surmountable

Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
The liquid restrictions make absolutly no sense. I mean I can't bring my little bottle of water, but at the same time if I am travelling internationally I can walk into the airport duty free store and buy a giant glass bottle of flamable liquid.

why can't you? I bring water and soda on planes all the time. Nevermind, I was thinking about it incorrectly, you can't bring it through security but you can bring it on the plane.
yeah, a lot of it is ridiculous.
