    scarab by that logic EVERYTHING should constantly amaze you

    where's the cutoff point to this

    no not constantly amaze and not everything. but just a little less whining about things that are, even at their worst condition, still breathtaking feats of human ingenuity.

    like, i live thousands of miles away from you. maybe six thousand miles. and yet we can have a conversation like this. I'm not saying every time i post on the forums, or use the internet or computers or anything i stand back in awe. Just that, you know, it's a little lame to bitch when things don't work perfectly.

    i mean, a six hour plane delay? I've had 24 hour plane delays. at a foreign airport where no-one spoke english. Sometimes there are 48 hour flight delays. Those are a thing, they happen. Six hours wait for a trip that will save days, maybe weeks from your journey time. I dunno, he obviously has internet access if he's posting about it, so there is no goddamn reason to complain at all. None that I can see.

    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.

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

    Yeah basically you are selfish and stupid

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

    Which is easier?

    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

    Also, I generally ask the nearest elderly person to watch my stuff and they never vouch for me when the bombsquad starts busting balls

    This is the stupidest. Old people are cunning, and largely willing to do whatever suits then.

    It's always the people you least suspect who are the biggest threat. Like how sex offenders are almost universally family or friends, and not strangers.

    I mean fuck I'm uncomfortable with all the open space beneath bridges

    the windows don't really let you see anything, and if there is little acceleration you don't feel like you're moving.

    I complain about the legroom.

    the coolest thing about my flights last week was looking out of the tiny windows and seeing my house! Hello house!

    this never made sense rane, sorry

    if you leave something unattended before the security checkpoint then nobody cares

    But if you leave something after you've taken it through an x-ray machine, taken off your shoes, and had your ass sniffed by three dogs, then people freak out

    The only reasonable conclusion I can draw from this is that security would not have an idea of what a bomb looks like if they were to encounter one

    Plus I mean what sort of idiot terrorist is going to leave a bomb unattended that is just dumb

    Your results are biased by your connection to your house, your sample size is too small, and something something something.

    like I said, they could just attend to the bag

    If it is that big a concern it wouldn't be a thing to just disallow carry on stuff.

    why is this dumb

    this guy tried to blow up a plane using liquid. milk is a liquid. they want to make sure it's really milk.

    I mean, I understand how ridiculous it is to screen every individual parent carrying milk for their child

    but I don't really know what else you would expect them to do to increase airline security, considering that their already unnecessarily thorough security screenings are apparently not enough

    everyone? no, but SSS flagged people may be asked to, and it's pretty easy to end up with a security flagged boarding pass.

    you also have to consider that asking everyone to strip would take far more time than simply doing an extra test on any unsealed liquids coming through

    because for people to strip they need privacy and would complain and refuse

    I don't understand why testing the milk was so crazy

    and why you're comparing testing liquids to forcing passengers to strip
