DraconisRex Posted August 6, 2002 Report 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!
Guest MIKE113 Posted August 6, 2002 Report Posted August 6, 2002 I hope someone is keeping track of these weapons , I'd hate for them to wind up in the hands of some rogue puppets!!!! [ 08-06-2002, 05:09 PM: Message edited by: MIKE113 ]
Parias Posted August 7, 2002 Report 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?

Barbie can now teach Skipper how to recognize and defuse weapons of mass destruction. Director of Homeland Security Ken sold separately.

I'd be more worried about that 72-year old woman in a wheelchair than the GI Joe doll....
Charles Lindsey Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 quote:that is why what they did is totally ludicrousLetter of the law and all that. 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.
Guest $iLk Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 Heard they made a woman drink 3 bottles of her own breast milk because they said she could be hiding something to throw at a flight attendant inside them.
Guest Grayfox Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 ok... now thats taking it a bit too far... maybe thats why i dont fly anymore, cause this crap has gotten out of hand... but hey, its LAX what do ya expect?
IceCold Posted August 7, 2002 Report 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 ]

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...
Fendi Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 quote:Originally posted by DraconisRex: Cool as a Santana concert...So I take it its not cool then.
DraconisRex Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 quote:Originally posted by fendi: quote:Originally posted by DraconisRex: Cool as a Santana concert...So I take it its not cool then. I was at the Meriweather Post Pavillion last Friday, when Santana came by. It was extremely cool. Best guitar player on the planet, imho.
Fendi Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 I'd reserve that honour for Steve Vai. Now thats a guitarist.

But I'm from a much older generation... quote:"And now we take you back to the good ol' days, when Def Leppard was real Def Leppard, Foreigner was real Foreigner, and the Soggy Bottom Boys had never been heard of yet..."
Guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 Here's an article about great guitar players, but it should really go in a different thread... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/2177791.stm
DraconisRex Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 Okay okay... Subject dropped from this thread... If anyone wishes to continue it, start another thread.
echo Posted August 8, 2002 Report Posted August 8, 2002 I know, as a mother, I feel much safer knowing GI Joe has been disarmed. He has forced himself on Barbie for the LAST TIME!!!

You know, being a toy might not be so bad sometimes....
