Myself and a few mates went to the Mid-West from the East coast. We were told to my surprise that you could 'carry on' luggage. We were all screened, and boarded the plane. When we arrived at our destination, one of us found that a 2" blade Gerber knife had been accidentally left in someone's 'dop'(shaving) bag...I nearly shit myself....I'm pissed, this 'Home Security' is a crock of shit, heads up out there.........

I think its pathetic that someone no longer needs a gun to hold a whole room or plane hostage, but some small knife will do just as well.  The public has become so weak and afraid.

Bill,
   With a "small knife" In the proper hands, I can assure you, that you will 'bleed out' before you finish making peace with your maker...I don't call that "weak and afraid", but a simple biological fact. Nuff said.......

Oh, but I feel SOOOO much safer with the National Guard guys watching out for us...NOT!

I was walking through DFW after coming back from vacation this month and actually saw one of those DUMBASSES stading around WITH HIS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER OF HIS M-16A2!!!  I almost went up to him to let him know how much of a dumbass he was, but figured that would be a sure ticket for a strip search and anal inspection!

Sorry to any of you NG guys that actually take your training seriously (no matter how limited it is)!

Anyway, I really wish there was another mode of transportation that could compete with airlines because I am getting sick of all the silly "safety measures" that really only do two things:
- Inconvenience the shit out of everyone
- Disarm law-abiding citizens by presuming guilt over innocence!
