A Transforming Experience

AIRPORT guards stopped a man boarding a plane — for wearing a Transformers T-shirt showing a cartoon gun.
The robots aren't in disguise anymore.

It's just beyond nuts.

That's funny, last time I got on a plane, I was thinking about a fish. No, officer, I swear it was only a fish I was thinking of, DEAR G*D, WHY ARE YOU POINTING THAT GUN AT ME... BANG! MEDIC! Please someone help me! BANG! I'm sorry I asked for help, officer, please stop shooti.....BANG! (Standing over the still-warm body) Yeah, Mike, that guy was really asking for it. Look! That woman is nursing an infant! Could be a terrorist! Call for backup!

10 years ago they were confiscating G.I. Joe 1/6-scale solid-plastic rifles 3 inches long.
You flying anytime soon?
Me neither.
And the complicit airlines can auger in, financially.
That's when a plane spirals into the ground nose-first.

This airport security thing is nuts no matter how you slice the pie.
I a big bag of pork rhines on the plane with me and make sure they can be seen by everyone. I don't eat them but have been using the same bag for years, (that was before I refuse to fly any longer). Last Aug. I had a family member die and I had to go back east to be with the family. I was forced to fly do to the short amount of time involved. I had to get a new bag of pork rhines. On the way back on my first flight to my connection. The Stew asked me to giver her my bag of pork rhines because it make some other passangers upset. I asked her if the people were Islam and if so she better get herself in gear to TSA becaue these people may know something that needs to be known. The guy next to me picked up on this and told her, "I agree with him get moving to TSA, now"! She left and very soon after that the doors shut and we where off. I have no idea what happed after she left but my point is when flying in America today you are forced to deal with idiots. Not just any kind of idiot but idiots beyond anything we have seen in this country before.
Screw flying let the airlines go under.

Gosh, I guess a souvenir shirt from Philadelphia with the eagle, a drum and a musket would get one the shiny bracelet march.
Thoughtcrime.

I don't fly. Period. And I'm doing design work on a yet to enter service jetliner with several hundred preorders.

I would quite happily suffer a layoff due to a drop in air travel if that's what it would take to stop the insanity. Unfortunately, all too many people put up with the bullsh*t.

As Billy puts it: the endarkenment continues apace.

I was wondering which one of the blogs would post this.

Sad.

My question is, what happens to someone if they have a tatoo of a weapon?
