I wonder if he still had to walk through the metal detectors and other physical screening check points. If not the security providers are damn lucky that this guy didn't have a knife or gun.

Note to self. Don't post at 10:30 pm after being up at 2:30am for a flight. Sorry

One of the biggest things that I want to see mandated in commercial aviation is restraints required for infants. The infant in arms idea is terrible, not just for the kiddo but for others in the aircraft as well. In the event of a crash or even unexpected rough air they can become a flying 35 pound projectile. My 2…

I would like to see the statistics on injury types with the normal airline harness versus the 3 point harness. The person quoted in your link was very vague about the actual benefits. The fact that the NTSB doesn't have them on their most wanted list makes me very dubious that the extra cost (remember it isn't just…

I fly a lot, not just up front but in the back as well. There is NO way that driving JFK-DTW could ever be faster than flying unless you purposely take a shitty connection. The TSA measures are also hardily draconian. I have Medallion status on DL so I get precheck quite often so that is obviously easy. Last year…

I personally don't like the sport pilot license and I think and IFR rating should be a requirement. I don't like the sport pilot license because I am uncomfortable with sharing airspace with someone who has only 20 hours of training and basically has a self-certified medical (I know way too many people who knew they…

And now IMSA has continued to make the rules up as they go along: http://www.racer.com/rolex-24-gt-da…

I couldn't agree more. Just that it is kind of hard to argue that by the book it isn't a penalty just because it is called unavoidable contact and there wasn't contact. Without a doubt should have been a no call. Although in light of the contact between the 555 and the 99 at the Bus Stop I don't know that the…

At first I was really smoked about the call but I went and looked at the rule book, I've posted the relevant section below. It is also a non-protestable penalty. The last FCY still chaps my ass though.

There are rumblings coming out of Daytona that Memo may have had an Arm and a Leg amputated. Just rumors so take it FWIW. Also, some new pictures here (warning a couple of them may be disturbing): http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/m…

Corvette has it on the GTLM cars for the rear with their Radar system. I suppose the could do the same for the front.

I saw this happen live, and thought for sure I'd just seen someone get killed. Especially when they showed a quick shot of the front of the car and one of the announcers just said "ugh" and they quickly went away and didn't show it again. It was the same feeling I had after Dario's wreck at Houston (although seeing…

Not this shit again. First it isn't a charity, it is organized as a 501(c)(6) which is a business league or trade association. If you are going to characterize all 501(c) corporations as a charity then the Teamsters are a charity too.

he looks like he is going to kill someone when she was asking the question.

Was at the game, saw it in person, yelled Boom Shockalocka.

I see very few facts in this case, only suppositions that were deemed fact by the arbitrator and MLB.

Deadspin voted? I'm pretty sure the ballot was filled out and signed by Dan. He used the polls from Deadspin as his selection method but as far as I can tell that was nothing more than a gentleman's agreement. He could have changed the selections and Deadspin could have declined to publish his reasoning.

Could you point out what rules he violated?

all of the people complaining about him giving it away, I don't see how that happened. He marked the selections on his ballet that Deadspin readers selected. At any point he could have changed them however he wanted and was under no obligation to go along with the group vote. It is his ballot and he is free to…
