Well that’s stupid. People at airport probably need drugs more than the rest of us.

Maybe a better metric would be how many people did they succesfully screen out vs the 73 they did not.

I believe I already suggested the derek zoolander center for kids as a better alternative to the current security system. Hijackings are rare, our chances of dying in one are negligable, and resources would be better spent on a long list of problems that hurt far more people. Spend the money on health insurance for…

Actually, the answers are common knowledge and easily available.

Even if I accept that ISIS is 100% funded by our taxes (which is clearly the work of whatever people you don’t like) they are still not going to provide detailed, reliable identifying information.

Hey, I can play this game too.

Yep. The 95% fail rate at detecting bombs is damning. This does not appear to be.

Yeah, that’s a crappy situation with no easy solution. You can’t exaclt ask ISIS operatives submit their fingerprints and SS numbers.

At this point, it’s more of a caricature than an illusion, wouldn’t you say?

While I really hate defending the TSA, there might be less to this than it looks, for 2 reasons

Jeebuz, if you going to start a fight, take your helmet off first.

Is that the same shell gas station that is on that glorious ferrari shell commercial?

This is my nomination, but really, consider any of the hardcore soviet offroading trucks. While america went about criss-crossing its land with interstates, the soviets set about building trucks that could go thru anything the great russian wilderness could throw at it, all while built by drunks on a bender.

Like many others, I am saddened by the near extinction of manual transmissions. I don’t just want a manual in my super awesome sports car. I’d like one in my commuter box, my pickup, and my minivan. I don’t care if automatics become better than manuals in every single way, I still want my stick and three pedals. And…

And how is that different than any other country in the world?

Time to move the race to the third world, where public officials are more receptive to “contributions”. I’m sure Saudi Arabia would love to host it.

Get out of the middle of a large room. If you manage to come to rest in the middle of a large volume too far away to reach any walls (or floors and ceiling) what are you going to do to propel yourself to a handhold?

He may well had it coming, but wasn’t this something the other 10+ officers could have handled, or does every foul mouthed redneck require special weapons and tactics, with the boys in blue slowly turning into glorified meter maids?

After reading about a extremely slow chase which wasn’t endangering anyone, I tune it to see a full swat team doing their thing.

A friend of mine was testing for his MC license. I don’t know how this works in other states, but in Texas, you either go thru a certified class (the best way to do it), of you have to bring a registered, inspected, insured bike, the applicant, a registered, inspected, insured chase vehicle, and a licensed driver for…
