The movie distracts people, and they don't notice the guy building a bomb next to them. *nod* I mean DUH. ;)
I'm about to depart on a flight from Detroit to Honolulu on New Years Day at 7am. I am NOT going to be a happy camper when I have to get there at FOUR IN THE MORNING, and I have to remain seated my entire effing flight. -.-
Besides, if we have to stay seated "1 hour prior to landing" then the knuckle head is just going to get up 2 hours ahead of time. Or 1 1/2. So effing retarded. *sigh*
Also. Dude. "I think they should have the option of flying on special lower security flights, for those of us who'd rather take our chances with the terr'ists than the psychotic rule of TSA."
Yeah exactly -- since when is the last hour the only time they can do their terroristifying?
The only actual useful innovations have been the stronger cockpit doors and the policy to take down terrorists immediately rather than try to negotiate with them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they hijack the 911 planes within the first 30 mins of flight or so? I could be wrong on that, though. So stay seated the entire first hour, then the entire last hour... And too bad if you only have a 2 hour flight..............
AND let's add to the fact that, as you create rules, you're half-encouraging certain individuals to try and break it as a challenge. Like banning a book only gets it read more? Stuff like that.
I stick to my old-time adage that my dad used to say all the time: "Locked doors only keep the honest people out."
Meh. The rules are irritating, but they don't bother me too much. My only real irritant comes when they fuck the rules up. When I took Ari to Disneyland a couple years ago, they had just started the new rule that if you had a whole game console (like a 360 or a PS3) in your carry-on, you had to pull it out like a laptop. Well, the people at SeaTac misinterpreted that rule and made me pull out every piece of electronics in my bag. Camera, cellphone, etc. When you have a squirmy three-year-old with you, that's not pleasant.
Otherwise, I just make sure to wear slip-on shoes and pack all my toiletries in my checked luggage. Besides, I hear that they're already relaxed the in-flight restrictions and it's up to the captain's discretion what is restricted.
I couldn't agree more!! Terrorists have won because they have made the general population change the way we live!!! Not to mention if people want to kill someone, there are more creative ways to do it and you can probably find it on the internet anyways....sigh
I don't see how they're going to be able to keep up with some of the new rules. My favorite is the staying in your seat the last hour of the flight. What if you have to use the bathroom?! Are they really going to tell you that you can't go?
If they don't withdraw the rule there should be an organized movement to spray the seats with something that smells like piss as one disembarks the plane or something, in protest.
Something like all liquids and gels must be in separate containers of 3 ounces or less (I'm nor sure what that is in mils, 100, 150?), and they all must also be in a ziplock bag. It's utterly nonsensical, as (a) I'm sure you can make a bomb big enough to do some damage even with the allowable quantities; (b) one can smuggle liquids/gels in in other forms such as the soles of shoes, as has already been done!!!; (c) god forbid explosives be made out of powders and/or solids; (d) etc etc etc.
It's just really obnoxious because you can't bring your normal toothpaste/shaving gel/shampoo/what-have-you unless you check it (I don't check bags unless I have to, being as they've added extra charges for THAT); and I'd often probably bring fancy beer or wine as a gift to whomever I'm going to visit except it's forbidden as a liquid (even sealed wine bottles!), and I'm not going to check it because you know how they throw around bags ...
Seriously. And I expected this kind of assjerkery under Bush but I'd have hoped under Obama we'd have a more logical response to things. Apparently not.
