You are aware that the "underwear bomber" boarded the plane in the United Kingdom, right? And that the United Kingdom is not a part of the United States, right? And that the TSA only screens folks in US airports, right?

Gosh I missed that... somebody needs a geography lesson. Perhaps said person is also one that thinks that ABQ is in Mexico rather than the US. :o

Sorry to leave this thread alone for so long, but I've been in the land of the slow internet (and surfing the web instead of sightseeing would be a crime in of itself).
Just to clarify: I've never sworn at a TSA worker and don't plan to. My thoughts were merely to speculate on what could happen to someone if they did. I would also prefer not to sink to such a level, but wanted to get an idea of what one might expect if they did, either intentionally or unintentionally. |

If TSORon is going back to school to study geography are you going back to learn proper grammar?:D

There are a lot of angry people who visit this FT forum. Perhaps everybody would be a little better off if this tone were taken down a notch or two.
Most reasonable people aren't necessarily going to be happy that an expensive, ineffective government organization which they are funding is subjecting them to frequent nonsense in the name of "security". |

So TSOron makes a mistake and you along with others immediately pounce on him saying, "get your facts straight before you type on a keyboard." Don't you think you ought to make damn sure what you're typing is correct before you publish it, especially when trying to make someone else look foolish??
While ignorance of the facts isn't necessarily foolishness, trying to make a point by relying upon ignorance does appear foolish to many. |
