    ' According to a statement posted Saturday morning on Air Canada’s Web site, the Transportation Security Administration will severely limit the behavior of both passengers and crew during flights in United States airspace — restricting movement in the final hour of flight. Late Saturday morning, the T.S.A. had not yet included this new information on its own Web site.

    “Among other things,” the statement in Air Canada’s Web site read, “during the final hour of flight customers must remain seated, will not be allowed to access carry-on baggage, or have personal belongings or other items on their laps.”'
    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/27/us/27security.html?_r=1&hp

    They can't mean all personal items, surely? People at least will be allowed books and magazines, right?

    Anyone else a little amused that the attempted terrorists basically just set his nuts on fire and was proceeded to get donkey stomped by an amsterdamian?

    First thing into my head was the christmas line about chestnuts roasting over an open fire.

    Second thing was a loud declaration from the amsterdamian:

    BY THE POWER OF A MILLION HOOKERS, I SMITE THEE

    did I get that wrong? I was like "oh I'm gonna mix up 'who's' and 'whose'" and then I did it anyway.

    Well, my flight is delayed another two hours or so

    go up to the closest airport employee and say DELAY THIS in your gruffest and most badass voice

    then fart as loudly as possible

    People need to stop posting that clip in these situations.

    It's entirely reasonable to expect stuff to happen when the business you're interacting with says it's going to happen. Fuck what Lous CK has to say about it.

    If we just allowed people the dignity of having two overhead luggage compartments and they didn't charge so much for a single Coke, maybe these kinds of things wouldn't happen. It's our own fault, really.

    One of these days I hope the airline industry figures out how to run an airline industry.

    All of my contact with the airline industry is basically them getting mad at me the entire time I am in the airport or on the plane.

    Basically, I travel light and also don't give a shit. I constantly leave my stuff in the terminal and go get some coffee or whatever because honestly if someone wants to steal my tshirts and socks then more power to them. Then all the sudden security is flanking me at the book store asking me all sorts of questions.

    every time something almost happens in an airplane and it involves another passanger tackling the asshole i always think of dennis leery and his monologue about americans on airplanes armed with pens.

    it freaks me out though that even with all our high security, some asshole can smuggle high explosive on board an airplane, yet i cant get toothpaste or a nail file on an airplane

    So you are dumb and don't understand how to follow instructions, nor why those instructions are there.

    why can't I be upset that a company that has already taken my money is failing to provide the service that I paid them for

    a delay from 2:30-9:00 is not a minor issue, it's an entire day spent in an airport

    No but think about it, they come and find me instead of just looking in the bag or blowing it up?

    Blowing the bag up may be over kill and would cause panic

    But approaching what is possibly a live bomb is quite possibly the stupidest thing ever

    what the fuck
