i won't tell you what i've gotten through to the plane* (cos -> dca & back); but suffice it to say, yes, they do suck

i want badly to take a block of sharp cheddar just to see if the rumors are true



*the first few times were accidental; then i just got curious if they'd ever catch it

*Sigh*

As of yesterday, when I drive through the recently installed, multi-thousand dollar, man-less security gate and do the whole airport badge/biometric thing, I now have to press a button to call airport ops, and tell them if I have anyone with me or not, because they have no way of knowing. All that so the guy who used to work in the booth before he was replaced with all the new security gizmos, who is now sitting in a chair monitoring the cameras in the booth from the terminal, can remotely open the gate for me and any one who might or might not be traveling with me, that he can't verify, can enter the secure area through a fence that just ends out in the middle of nothing and could just as easily be walked around.

so you're telling us it's only by the grace of the FSM one of those nearby antelope doesn't become FOD?

brilliant.

Well, the fence to nowhere, as I like to call it, is inside the "perimeter", as it were, but you do go from a "un-secure" area, to the "secure" area through the gate within the fence to nowhere.

I once spent a couple hours one after noon helping one of the airport ops guys chase a pug that had escaped from a dog crate off the airfield. We couldn't catch the little fvcker, and the chase only ended when the dog made it through the perimeter fence.

people who ship dogs on a plane really need a fvcking clue.

Seriously, I always feel so bad for those animals. The cargo pit is no place for any living creature.

Flights in and out of Bujumbura were often delayed by antelope strikes.

Beats coach. And I got no other way to keep the pets with the family when we move. Can't drive from Africa to India too well.

99% of my interaction w/ TSA has been rather pleasant, but i fear this may drop to numbers not enjoyed since blacks' nadir of obama approval ratings.

I've heard of "bus pants" but "aircraft socks" seems a bit extreme.

I think I might be stealing Silver's schtick here but if Extraordinary Rendition Airlines ever got up and running I'd be super gold platinum diamond on those muthafuggers in no time. Drug me at home throw me in the hold and drop me off at my destination and wake me with a bucket of cold water (water confiscated at the gate of course). Airports, bugger me they suck.

I read that last night. Between that, the drones, and the militarization of police forces, it sounds like "they" are planning for some serious push back from the populace.
