Almost every day at my stand, I hear people complain about the increasingly absurd and oppressive “security” measures at airports. I am heartened that so many folks are coming to realize what a sham it is. The paper today had a story about how lousy the security us–in tests, undercover good guys were able to get fake guns through 25% of the time. (I assume they played fair and used toy metal guns instead of plastic jobbies.) Thing is, I happen to know an almost fool-proof way of getting a gun through almost any securuty checkpoint I get a huge kick out of revealing this to tourists, some of whom say “Now I’m REALLY afraid to fly.” Well folks, just doin’ my job–to comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.

If the government is involved it’s a hoax.
I love James’s comment up there, and it helps me get some perspective on what I’ve been readin on his site.
As for you, Greyfox, now Xanga knows why I don’t let myself get too comfortable around you.
If I didn’t know you I’d be laughing my ass off.
My youngest daughter on two recent flights had very different experiences. The first she was completely searched. The second wasn’t searched at all. The second being America West. I found it interesting enough. I can’t say that I have any desire to fly at the moment…at least not on a commercial plane. -Kristy
