Look out where the huskies go;

I'm thinking "Homeland Security" now, but to really stir up my neighbors, maybe "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" would be fun.

@AimAtTheFace: The DeWalt got plenty of regular use, and brand is irrelevant here really. I just wore out the batteries - they don't last forever. Extension cords are cheaper to replace than a good (or even bad) NiCad or Li battery and they don't have a limited number of charge cycles. Get a decent corded tool.

I was disabused of my fascination in cordless tools by a very nice DeWalt drill. I got it with two batteries and a charger, but eventually those batteries fulfilled their life expectancies. To get a replacement battery cost nearly as much as a new cordless drill and more than a corded one. I now have a very pretty

@pixelsnader: Sure, but now the challenge is finding a drive to load it up in.

@RogueA: They aren't supposed to do that, per their own rules. Part of the problem here is that the employees don't know the rules or the rules aren't followed consistently, as noted above by wheresmyjetpack.

@Dogen: BBW is like a friggin' vortex. We can't go within 5 miles of one without my wife thinking she needs the latest scent and forcing a visit. I hate going in there because all the competing scents make me sneeze.

@Fredy04: "Ravage! Pillage! Plunder! Maim! Put big hickies on all the fair damsels!"

@CaptainJack: I bet turnover at the TSA is pretty high. I know I never get the same stripper two nights in a row!

@RogueA: That's the funny part. The rules are written in such a way that I don't think they are allowed to suggest that she stand. Any legitimate assistive device, whether it be a chair or a colostomy bag, is to remain undisturbed during the security check. A creative person could get all kinds of stuff through

@Steve Williams: We aren't frequent travelers, so you'll have a long wait. I have taken fewer than 10 civilian flights in my life so I don't have a good sense of how things have changed in the last 10 years. I don't claim that the procedures are acceptable or not, but these horror stories are the exception, not the

@gizgizgiz: That was kind of my thought at the time as well. I think an explosives sniffer and a metal detector will be more effective than the full body imaging they want to put out there.

I flew in September with my 11yo daughter in her wheelchair. TSA pulled her aside for separate screening since a metal detector is useless in this case.

@Piero Giorgi: And because it's an ultralight, you only need a sport license to fly it.

I know myself well enough to know that this is exactly what would happen to me. That's why I haven't signed up with them. My alternative is the local library, but of course I end up paying for it in late fees, so I guess I'm not really saving anything.

@jpaugh: GET OFF MY LAWN!!! Damn kid!

Wow, has it really been 20 years? Where does the time go. Next thing you know Vanilla Ice will get nailed for doing something stupid.

@Tim Edwards: Yeah, it looks like the house just puked up its lunch and a four Loco.
