If you have not yet determined that we live in a police state, I have a nice bridge that I would like to sell you.
Hopefully, that bridge isn't in Baltimore...

« Last post by grizz on Today at 12:35:27 PM »Reports today about American flag burning, chanting Death to America and Israel protests blocking roads with very few if any arrests.
In my eyes, as a veteran and American, someone chanting "death to America" and burning the American flag while standing on American soil is a terrorist and needs to be dealt with accordingly and swiftly

Below is a link to an article on the new TSA procedure and how you can opt out, at least for now.

According to the article, you opting out will not cause you a delay.

Sorry-assed excuse time:
After two days of judging field dogs in hours of rain, sleet snow sometimes blowing horizontal on us and tired as all get-out... headed out of the mountains down into LA @ 0300 so as not to miss my 0600 flight out of LAX - I was thinking only of making the flight and was NOT being "situationally aware". And I did the herd thing and simply did what everyone else was being hurried through.
Only later did I have pause to consider and realize what had just been done to me (and ALL of the rest of the herd).
In retrospect (the hindsight=20x20 kind) I should NOT have complied, even if it created a "scene", got me ushered into "the room" and caused me to miss my flight home. They had me, my photo ID and that's been good enough for EVERY other airport I've ever been to (fly around the country averaging 3 times a year).
These bastards have been tightening the noose steadily for some while and as frogs, the vast majority still don't get why the cheese is free and the water is getting hotter.
I'm sorry I let myself and ALL of you down. Perhaps my experience today might give someone a warning and possible cause to do better than I did.

« Last post by Felix on April 15, 2024, 02:30:18 PM »Had to fly out of LAX this morning and TSA had a new wrinkle (at least for me) to add into their prodigious efforts at keeping us all "safe".
Apparently it wasn't enough (to keep us all safe) to simply match a photo ID (DL or Passport) with boarding pass...'Nope, they added in a digital photo-taking - so now, my facial recognition data is just about as official as the non-existent gun/ammo registry that simply isn't being compiled, a work in progress (because that would be in violation of the law, dontcha know).
On the plus side, my plane wasn't blown up mid-air, even though they gave me back my shoes, belt and Chapstick.
