<p>They might as well change this, or just bankrupt the airlines. This is really crossing that preverbial line.</p>

22

<p>Wait, no laptops? They've gone TOO FAR on that one....I don't even know how to fix virus problems on my laptop, much less plant a bomb in it.</p>

<p>Eventually, people will have to fly naked. And when that happens, I'll know when to sell all my airline stocks.</p>

<p>here's the line: -------</p>

<p>TSA----></p>

<p>The point with no electronics is so you can't crack it open, cross some wires, and make a spark to set off an explosive charge or start a fire. In this latest plot, the terrorists were going to take the flashbulbs out of disposable cameras and use the electrodes that would have gone to the bulb to create a spark to set off the liquid explosive.</p>

<p>According to TSA, laptops are allowed (as of 8/11-- and the policy hasn't changed).</p>

<p>Privatize airports or start massive racial profiling.. The government is retarded. Applying the same draconian rules to everyone is dumb beyond belief.</p>

26

<p>Yeah exactly....I don't even know how to open up my laptop much less cross wires in it and short circuit it.</p>

<p>Actually, the best thing to do is just buy your own airplane and fly it yourself</p>

<p>oh yes, that'll go ridiculously smoothly. i can see it now..."why sure, i'll let you search me and embarrass me but not anyone else just b/c i look arab."</p>

<p>Are you so stupid that you think they can't just get some people that are middle eastern looking to do their dirty work? But I guess you like false security in exchange for lowering the class of a race.</p>

30

<p>^um, what?</p>

31

<p>Dude, just buy your own plane if you don't like the security</p>

32

<p>Yep. No liquids. But not just the airport! I went to the Natural History museum in Manhatten on Thursday, and they didn't let me bring any liquids in there either! At least it only costed me a buck to go in. :p</p>

33

<p>Son just flew to Vegas. No liquids, toothpaste, etc unless it is in checked bags. Electronics are okay for domestic flights. Go early, some airports security is taking a long time.</p>

No they can't. Think about it. The terror plot that was stopped recently was composed of Pakistanis, not Swedish nurses or American painters. No matter how much security has been stepped up, always the same people have committed the crimes. Time to end this PC nonsense.</p>

<p>Stupid terrorists, even though they aren't acheiving as many direct attempts on our lives, they sure are making our lives a whole lot harder. At least we're safe though, I guess.</p>
