DraconisRex Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 P-LEEEEEEASEEEE! GI Joe ain't no terrorist... And especially not a toy. (C-4 can be shaped into anything, including clothing, and there are ways to confuse the sensor dogs.) Give me a freaking break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parias Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 Guys, seriously, quit mocking the airport security goons, they were just doing their jobs. G.I. Joes are a valid and extremely serious threat to international security, and what these people did was fully justified in my eyes. I mean, geez, didn't any of you see Small Soldiers?

I'd be more worried about that 72-year old woman in a wheelchair than the GI Joe doll.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the poor sod (the guard) wondering if he's gonna get wrote up or worse yet, fired, for not following instructions. P.S. Draconis, Bomb dogs train in my warehouse. It's cool.

IceCold Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 Every minute they spend wasting time with POINTLESS activities would be better spent focusing on possible terrorists, but wait that is ethnic profiling Considering federal employees are now working at security WE are PAYING these people to waste time being MORONS!!!

What to do... What to do... By definition of function, profiling is exactly what a police officer is supposed to do, as profiling isn't just about race/religious divisions. It's about identifying people based on evidence, reported witnesses, etc. If you heard that a white guy just robbed a downtown bank, wouldn't you think it stupid that cops were stopping all the Mexicans and Chinese to bring in for questioning? I mean, come on, people! [ 08-07-2002, 07:46 AM: Message edited by: DraconisRex ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog's noses are the keenest around, because they don't smell the mixtures of stuff like we do -- they only smell the baseline stuff. For example, eggs, salt and pepper, we smell the combination. They can identify each seperate ingredient. Cool as a Santana concert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
