Airport security silliness

[Wanwo]

I recently took a flight where I had no checked luggage because I was only going for a weekend. Going through my carry-on they found my tube of toothpaste, waggled their finger at me and took it. Too funny.

This guy had more trouble:

I went through Security at O'Hare in October (for those of you that don't know, that is ORD, Chicago)

I was hungover and possibly still drunk on a sunday morning.

I had a can of redbull in my backpack.

It went through x-ray and my bag got searched.

They pulled my can of redbull out but didn't remove the the liter bottle of Fiji water underneath it, which I really didn't know about.



How great is that security???


Oh well, I got drunk with Ducpainter and Zltful that night so all was good

Security is a joke! There has not been one time we have travelled that my wife has not been pulled out of line to get "searched". :

It's BS! >

I've never had a problem. Flash my ID, talk nicely to TSA, and I'm on my way. Been waved around to the head of the line twice as well. Got upgraded to 1st class one of those flights as well.

You guys need to shave your beards off.

Whenever I'm in the airport, they tell me that I don't have to go through security because they've decided to upgrade my coach ticket and fly me to my destination on a private jet instead.

So as a military officer traveling in uniform, and under orders, U.S. Code allows you to skip through secondary screening, meaning no metal detector/searches. Last month while in the St. Louis airport, on my way back to Iraq, I went through security, like usual, because I already stand out enough without skipping the security check. So my boots set off the metal detector. I $hit you not, they pulled me out of the line and put me through the whole scan. I'm talking searching me with the wand and their hands as well. They stopped just short of the cavity search. I was about to throw my "no secondary search" card, but it was clear that the TSA guys were way too retarded to know what I would have been talking about, and it would have just caused a bigger scene. So here I am, in uniform, on my way back to Baghdad, and these guys are concerned about ME having a weapon on the plane. I'm not even going to get into the appearance of some of the clowns that waked right by the TSA guys while they were busy with me. The system is broken.
