So I flew from Providence, RI to Seattle yesterday with a transfer in Chicago
Getting through the security screening didn't take noticeably longer and they spot checked people at the gate by patting them down, sometimes checking their carryons again, and testing any containers of liquid simply by holding some strip over the open container to test the vapors
the only delays I experienced were weather related
anyone who's bitching about these additional steps is a big fucking baby

every plane out of toronto into the states was delayed at least a few hours yesterday, and the man staffing the terminal said it was pretty much guaranteed to repeat itself for a week or so. The passengers getting off in Tampa ten hours late said that every single person was frisked regardless of the metal detector.
I think it's just crazy for international flights going into the states

I think it's just crazy for international flights going into the states
uh
I think it absolutely makes sense to have even tighter security for international flights that are statesbound
how does that not make sense?
how does it make more sense to be more careful with domestic flights?

whatever man, I've got to pack another bowl of patchouli scented sticky and get hella baked
i dunno why it took me this long to even look up what patchouli was, but im pretty sure ive never had a direct run-in with this substance. maybe someday...
someone leaving their items unattended in an AIRPORT
and walking away
I HOPE YOU CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE MIGHT WONDER IF THERE MIGHT BE A BOMB
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
the point is that then brown people can hide bombs in your stuff and get them through security because they now made a white bomb
god

I disagree
people may be less on the lookout before the security checkpoint, but you're a dunce if you think no one cares about an abandoned piece of luggage outside the checkpoint
the vast majority of the time the police/TSA will definitely respond if someone reports an abandoned package/luggage outside the checkpoint

5:00AM unintentional meant "I think that the stepped up security measures only apply for international flights going into the states."
I've had to hang out at a mall with my luggage before, and having my luggage on one side of the bench and me sitting on the other I had security guards and shit walking (or riding in their cute little golf carts) up to me constantly asking me if those are my bags etc
So, no it's not just this phenomenon that takes place whenever you make it past security at an airport

That was the link I lost. Apparantly he has found a way to profit from his heroism, being that news outlets are having to pay for interviews. Good for him I say.
Has it yet been pointed out that had the terrorist not sucked and/or the bomb had been built properly these heroes would be scattered in a thin film across a Detroit runway?

Still according to what I've read most people panicked and a few took action. Let them have their 15 minutes.
To make what I think is a valid comparison, take the dude from a few years ago who saved a guy from being run over by a subway train by leaping onto him and holding him down. That was a heroic act.
If you take these airplane guys initiative in awareness and apply it to train dude... He would have pushed the guy onto the tracks after the train had already passed and then been promptly arrested.
The first report I read suggested that the bomb failed to detonate due to a bad mixture or fuse or whatever, and that it has only burned instead of exploded, causing the guys lap to catch on fire (lawl!).
But that report is now lost in all of the aftermath reporting and I can't find the article from nytimes.com
my understanding is that he was having trouble lighting the bomb, but there was still a bomb attached to him
Not sure if it's totally clear but it's looking like human error in either the making or the triggering of the bomb (via injection of a ignition substance) made what should of been a big boom into a fire and third degree burns for the suspect.

don't you see the man makes his life stressful that way?
I think that's reasonable
Not everyone wants to blow up with their bomb

my bad.
Also I'm home! The system works
what a headline
So, no it's not just this phenomenon that takes place whenever you make it past security at an airport
Just don't roll around in flash powder before you head to the airport and leave your Quran collection at home and you'll be fine.

Apparently it is not an easily ignitable compound and he just set it on fire instead of making it blow up.
If he had a blasting cap or formal detonator they would have been toast.
