    That's because those pockets are supposed to be just for emergency cards. The FAA tolerates the airlines putting magazines in there as well but it's not meant for passenger storage. The feds have been pushing that a lot more over the last few years.

    A warm Humvee during a driving cold rainstorm is a godsend for a soldier. But I think the coziest place I've ever been is in the drivers compartment of an M1 Abrams tank during cold winter night-operations. With the hatch closed you sit/lay in a position similar to a La-Z-Boy reclined all the way back and the heater

    "cowardice and irrationality"? Why name call? AIRPORT security — which the article is about — is paid for by a ticket fee. Which, incidentally, went up quite a bit this summer. It used to be capped at $5 each way.

    Those two things have nothing to do with one another. Airport security is paid for by airline passengers, not taxes. There has been a special security fee ($5.60 each way now) added to every single airline ticket since 2001. If you do not fly — and judging by your response I'm guessing you don't — you do not pay.

    Explain all that to people hurling towards the Earth at terminal velocity after their aircraft exploded mid-flight.

    Yes, in deicing the term 'contamination' refers to snow/ice.

    'Nobody sprays glycol into the engine inlet.'

    'Third, deicing fluid is very slippery, so it poses a safety hazard for people walking or working in the area.'

    1a. Best Twitterer.

    Wow, the love affair with Adam Silver ended pretty quickly. Wonder why?

    These are also among the most dangerous at an airport — for those around it. Most pushbacks don't have that great of driver viability coupled with the fact that you're often driving them backwards make it really dangerous for pedestrians on the ramp. Many a ramper has been run over by these behemoths over the years.

    Few vehicles define the Cold War like the reconnaissance plane and the SR-71 Blackbird was the greatest of them all. A Blackbird set the airspeed record in 1976 clocking nearly 2,200 mph – a record that hasn't been broken to this day.

    It's so fucking crazy to me that the internet has decided the Rodger Goodell is the real bad guy in this situation — not the guy who balled up his fist and knocked out a woman. We've gone absolutely fucking insane. I am blown away at how the media and union tuned Ray Rice into the victim here!

    This coming from a lunatic.

    Dude, comparing grams of drugs to grams of metallic objects is crazy. 122 grams of spice is over 4 ounces (a quarter pound), even if it was incredibly weak stuff that's a lot of 'personal use.' I'm not real familiar with current prices of that stuff (because it will fucking kill you) but it's worth well over a grand.

    And now, the NFLPA has managed to turn Adrian Peterson into the victim — just like Ray Rice. Can't a man knock out a chick or beat a child with a stick in this country without getting treated like some kind of criminal?

    For around $27,000 you could also get a newish Japanese/Korean SUV with 4WD, leather upholstery, heated seats, a navigation system, dual-zone climate control, backup camera and parking sensors along with a long warranty as well. And it will get you to the mall and back more than two times in succession without

    Or they're old and don't give a shit about anything anymore than being comfortable. Word.

    I'm sure it goes back further than this but the media called the Bucks' Glen Robinson, Ray Allen and Sam Cassell the 'Big Three' quite a while before the Celtics trio. Ray Allen has been in two big threes.

    6 or 7 years ago when gas prices started to go crazy again car dealerships in my part of the country (Northern Great Lakes) were almost giving away large trucks and SUVs, especially SUVs. No one wanted them because gas was over $4 a gallon. It took quite a while for sales to rebound. And keep in mind, this is a place
