TSA/Air Travel Question
Why was the group in front of me 6 months ago carrying a circular saw, nail gun and chainsaw? Watching TSA try to explain to them on exactly how many levels this was wrong was priceless.PA Girl wrote: See, this is the type of thing I would have wanted more info on. Why was he carrying a large screw driver? For work? For fun?
In the late 90's when I was still in the travel business, I sold a tickets on USAir to a local young woman and her mother from STL to the east coast. A few weeks later I got a call from an investigator for USAir wanting their phone numbers etc. He said they were not in any trouble, but he needed to speak to them. They had carried on a chain saw, in its case. He wanted to know which security points they went through etc.
They had stowed the saw in an overhead bin, and were seated when they mentioned to another passenger that no one had even asked them about it. They were very innocently taking it to a relative. I'm not sure if the plane was in the air yet, but the pilot did come back and take it away to the baggage compartment.
I'm pretty sure some people lost their jobs over that!

Is this why no one can find him? He and 2 other terrorists tried running out of the cave at the same time and they got stuck next to each other in the opening?2Feathers wrote:I can just see Osama in a cave somewhere pouring over Stooges re-runs to see how he could use them for his next wave of instructional videos...
Slowly they turned, step by step, inch by inch...
