I almost got a job at the Bob hope airport as a TSA screener.

you think LAX is bad? JFK made everyone of us coming back from Iraq take our boots off when we went through security for the layover. We had our rifles on the plane. Im sure its like that in other airports but still.

Did they do that to make sure you guys weren't smuggling anything back, or that they did it as a terrorist thing, cos the latter, well that would be weird

Man, I wish we flew into JFK, I could've had my family meet me We flew into stupid Bangor, ME instead. Fucking -20 degrees outside and we're all outside smoking like chimneys in our thin ass DCUs.

I got to skip customs completely when I flew into JFK on leave. I flashed my military ID and the guard walked me through the 2000 or so people waiting on line. It was sweet as hell

they screened us as if we were going on a flight like everyone else. Most of us had our boots on for 20 plus hours so it was their loss.

I've never had a hassle at any airports in the DC area, kinda funny given we're such an awsm city.

And ya I know that people have had issues with the watch/no-fly list. That's why we need something better than a list of names; because chances are your name isn't unique.

The LA Times called it an 'incendiary device', Voice of America called it an 'explosive device', and the Washington Post are referring to a powder.

Incendiary just means it can cause a fire. The method he attempted used powder that could have (chemically) exploded causing a fire.

Problem solved.

I'm well aware of what 'incendiary' means, and I'm also well aware of what the possibilities are. You aren't solving any problems; simply adding more speculation. I'm still of the opinion that when hearing four different accounts from four different sources on a breaking news story, none of them can be deemed particularly reliable, and I would still be interested in getting a consistent account of what happened. What kind of point are you aiming for here?

Update for you travelers:

Delta Air Lines Inc., the world's largest carrier by traffic, said its domestic and international flights were experiencing "minimal" delays Saturday after Friday's alleged terrorism incident aboard one of its Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flights from Amsterdam.

Discount giant Southwest Airlines Co., which flies more passengers inside the U.S. than any other carrier, also reported only modest delays. But AMR Corp.'s American Airlines and UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, the Nos. 2 and 3 U.S. airlines by traffic, respectively, reported longer delays on international flights because of heightened security.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Saturday that it immediately increased passenger-screening ...

I met a group of Irish on a St Patty's Day in Manhattan a few years back. We got to talking and I said "Wow, this is the one day out of the year you are absolutely guaranteed to get laid (because of their accents)", they winked at me and said "That's why we come every year!" Needless to say, I bought them a round of beers for capitalizing on their good fortune

I will let the current events speak for me. As for the Islamic apologists, good luck with your continued efforts to paint this religion in the basking glow of peace and tolenrance. Seems like it would be getting more difficult to cover for Islam, but I know the more shit happens associated with Islam, the deeper you pile on the sand around you.

From what I gather, they all hate Irish people except for Saint Patrick Day, when all Americans suddenly remember their "Irish Ancestry" and everything that's supposedly great about Ireland... infact, Galt proves me right sort of.

Most mainstream muslims, Sunni or Shiite, are as peaceful as you and I. Wahhabists tend to be the ones doing these sorts of things. So you are going to blockade the entire middle east just to punish no more then 1% of Muslims? Do you listen to yourself?

Nope it ain't the truth. The problem is ISLAM, it is being practiced in the extreme because that is what is taught. If you do not wish to convert or kill non-believers, if you do not wish to hold women or gays or infidels as inferior , then find yourself a new religion and call it something else. Islam is already taken.

and before you say it, yeah I know there are people out there blowing stuff up and calling themselves Christians. Same rules applies. Blowing stuff up and killing is not taught by Christ so find yourselves a new religion because Christianity has been taken. I know, you could call it ISLAM.

How many non-muslims have attempted to, or succeeded in hijacking or destroying planes in the past 30 years?

Loads. Certainly more than by Muslims (unless you look at it by death toll, when the figures are a bit skewed).

The most recent hijackings have been done by Mexicans and Cubans. In fact a huge number of hijackings have been done by Cubans. So much for the bright idea of blockading Muslims in.

We ALL hate Irish? link please.

Ya see, I have never said I hate ALL Muslims. I hate their religion.

Now you come out and say we ALL hate Irish, and we "ALL remember our Irish ancestry".

How is it, you are supposed to be able to get away with statements like that, while I get quoted and berated for shit I actually never have said?

As I remain consistent, I have no problem point out the inconsistencies of others.

How are death toll figures skewed, either terrorism in the name of the advancement of Islam has killed more or it hasn't.
