"Where is the right mouse button?"

"Why do you have to drag the disc icon to the trash to eject it. Won't that erase the disc?"

[King Crimson]

no Ctrl+v to paste? hawgwash.

i guess the TSA people should all hang out at the Apple store more. all they need is a venti capp with skim and caramel...and some aggressively styley tortoise shelled horned-rim spectacles, too.

[GottaHavePride]

TSA people need to just not be ****in' tards. That would be a good start.

[GottaHavePride]

And yeah, considering most frequent travelers are the high-tech variety, it's part of their JOB to know what is legit technology and what is a fake "device".

[mdklatt]

My flight is long gone now, so I head for the service center to get rebooked.

That's why you're supposed to show up early to the airport, jackass.

[proud gonzo]

TSA people need to just not be ****in' tards. That would be a good start.no kidding.

Exactly.

TSA went on my **** list when they confiscated my hypo-allergenic shaving cream.

[Partial Qualifier]

Okay that settles it. you seriously can not be real.

Yep. There's all the confirmation we need. I guess it has been obvious enough. He started lightly with the VW. Then he goes to the two chicks in his apartment. The list goes on and on from there.

That said, well done, Sic'em.

Oh, and being a freaking BAYLOR fan of all things... geeze, we should have picked up that doozie right from the start. Like Baylor has fans...

[SicEmBaylor]

? They did confiscate my shaving cream...

I had my shaving bag in my backpack as I went through security, adn they pulled it out and told me that I couldn't have shaving cream on the airplane. They also took my can of Axe and toothpaste.

Admit it, your a little partisan on this topic, aren't you:D

[shaun4411]

white people shouldnt even have to go through security. we dont commit terrorist acts on airplanes.

So, you hadn't heard about the bans on liquids and gels? Seriously?

Actually, I'm surprised you were able to find the airport. :confused:

[StoopTroup]

Aren't there signs that let you know?

I knew about the ban, but I forgot that I had put my shaving kit in my backpack instead of my checked luggage.

Yes, it's my fault for taking it through security so my complaint here is against the policy.

[StoopTroup]

FYI...


Personal lubricants - You are allowed to carry up to 3 oz. in a clear, one-quart plastic bag. Volumes greater than 3 oz. must be declared to the Security Officer and cannot be carried in your clear, one-quart bag.

[SoonerInKCMO]

Yeah, there are signs. At Sea-Tac, they have a dude standing near the security line at a table with examples of things that are and aren't allowed.

A trained monkey could figure out what they can bring on board. :texan:

[StoopTroup]

You can check these items in your bag though....

Billy Clubs, Black Jacks, Brass Knuckles, Kubatons, Martial Arts Weapons, Night Sticks, Nunchakus, Stun Guns/Shocking Devices, Throwing Stars.

:sigh:
Yes, as I just said, I was well aware of the rule. I simply forgot to put my shaving kit in my suitcase rather than my backpack.

The rule is stupid.

[StoopTroup]

Also...

You can't carry on snow globes.

You can check them though.

that's a relief.

The first trip I made home from France, I had bought a rapier. I wasn't sure exactly how to get it on the plane, so I just carried it directly on. I had no problem at all except they had me leave the sword up front by the cockpit.

[BigRedJed]

"Can of Axe..."

Why can I not stop giggling?

[mdklatt]

I had bought a rapier

Maybe it's just me, but this might be the gheyest thing you've ever said here. And that's saying something.

Any word that is used in a Thin Lizzy song is not ghey!:mad:

It's not the word that's ghey, it's the buying of said object. By SicEm. In France. And can't you imagine him sucking on a cigar while he did it? In all honesty, at this point it's hard to conceive of anything the boy does or says not being ghey, so maybe I'm overreacting.

[Sooner_Bob]

So nobody owns a MacBook Air yet . . . I figured one of you nerds would by now. :D

"Sir, noone would pay that much of a premium for a notebook. Clearly this is something else."

[OUDoc]

Mac is the devil's technology. Good for the TSA to pick up on that. ;)

agree completely.
