Airport Security, My Ass!

a friend was allowed through with some "illegal" cosmetics because the security official thought "I'll let you keep this, because I know how expensive it is". Perhaps the terrorists should take note and put their explosives in a Dior container.

Or force-feed them Red Bull to the point that they are too jittery to fly the plane.

or just beat the hell out of them with your fists...

But EvilGentleman.... Red Bull gives you wings!

I wouldn't know, indykid. I completely eschew energy drinks and all hot beverages, such as coffee, tea or hot chocolate. But give me enough Dr Pepper and all hell breaks loose.

funny but i went to a TSA rummage sale and bought a can of 7up for 10 cents. by the way my wife walked thru the check point and she passed and when we went to our room we found a knife in the bottom of her hand bag. true. but i know that we can get upset with overzealous inspectors, but remember we still may have sleeper cells in this country and it unnerves me that the day the WTC came down, the people in paterson new jersey were cheering the victorius taliban. we will never get back the secure feeling we had, it is gone forever but then again i thought the berlin wall was forever, things change.

Actually jack, I generally agree on the need for incresed security. The lessons of 9/11 are not lost on me. What frustrates me though, is when we have very restrictive security for the average person, yet there are so many holes in other aspects of the security that the whole thing becomes a moot point. Security is a necessity that should be enforced all the way, and not half-assed, like what is being done here in Dorval.

It's sort of like what would happen if the police started getting serious about pulling over drunk drivers on the highway, but then they also open express lanes for the drunks on the side streets at the same time. Just does not make sense, in my book.

Three gates from the left end of this building:

NRA Air - when you set off the metal detector it's because you don't have enough.

Montreal airport is the worst airport in Canada and USA for racism. If you are a person of colour you are going to be singled out, frisked and your baggage searched even if it had passed through the metal detectors and scans and cleared without beeps. It seems French quebeckers are engaging in dirty racism. It does not matter if you area a hindu, or muslim or buddhist or whatever as long as you are coloured you are going to be harassed. Solution is avoid Quebec and Montreal airport if you are a minority of colour. That is the only way one can deal with these racists from Quebec.
