I’m not boarding another plane unless I can bring my Bazooka.

ha! I am 6’3” so every flight is a painful ordeal to me. Why not just pump us full of sleaping gas and stow us away on shelves? Hell, I really, really, really wish they would. Not only would it be secure, but would be fast and comfortable. Gonna be delayed? So what — just give us another dose. No need to wake me for the bad TV dinner and shitty movie that I can only hear in one ear because of the crappy, ear-wax encrusted headphones.

on a related note, look at who wants to exempt themselves from those long, tedious lines:
The Aug. 5 memo recommends reducing patdowns by giving screeners the discretion not to search those wearing tight-fitting clothes. It also suggests exempting several categories of passengers from screening, including federal judges, members of Congress, Cabinet members, state governors, high-ranking military officers and those with high-level security clearances.

They are going to allow icepicks again? Haven’t they seen Basic Instinct?
I’m guessing archers traviling to a competition might want to be able to bring their bow with them. Don’t know if storing them in the hold would be bad though. Anyway really don’t think you could hold up the passengers with a bow and arrows. I guess you could do some damage with just an arrow though.
Are they going to allow crossbows too?

Being a big bugger myself (6’4″ 270lbs) I am forced to wonder who I might kill with a pair of nail clippers that I could not kill with my bare hands.
BTW: Never ask this question to an airport screener unless you have a couple of days to kill.
