Obviously plotting terrorism. Have NSA ferret out true identities and put them on "No Fly" list!

It's just kind of silly because the soldiers were carrying machine guns, but had their nail clippers taken.

I have to ask, have any of these ridiculous searches and item bans ever thwarted a terrorist attempt? Terrorists are only going to come up with new ways to kill people, I don't see the TSA method of prevention very effective.

Yeah the smell alone can make you gag. One of my friends friends was like "Hey try this" and I was like "Whoaaaa no one i can smell it way over here even though were are outside and the wind is blowing away from me, and I did some research about Sweden before i came here and I know what that is." He just laughed and nommed it. I gagged just watching.

I don't view redstate or Erick Erickson to be credible. I tried searching for news of this from elsewhere, but all news posts about it lead back to redstate and Erick Erickson.

It was an anonymous friend of Erickson's is the amount of proof that we get. That is not enough information for me.

It wouldn't be the first time Erick Erickson has made shock value claims without any real sources for backing up stories.

This is where our tax dollars go? I mean, now I know whose been eating all the bowls of stupids. We vote in *** who make rules who hire TSA ppl, who then hire the most imbecelic ppl imagineable, just to piss a few ppl off, especially where your going back to the Big wig's Tax dollar..

So if the Govt, has a military, and said Air plane co. says we have to inspect you..c'cmon?

There usually can tell who their own troops are, so there should be standard protocol.

Just sometimes, I wonder how this world even works anymore..

It's obviously not about the laws and rules. Because, you know, the M-16s and bayonets would likely have also been taken away.

Not only that, but are you implying that because it's a rule, it ought to be followed? Because in ALL honesty, nail clippers pose absolutely no threat. The flight restrictions on these random things are COMPLETE ***. The fact is, for example, a telescoping handle on a rolling suitcase would be a better weapon by far - yet they're all over the place. ***, the old ashtrays in the arms would be better.

But I am curious - are nail clippers dangerous? Compared to... pens? Fists? Shoelaces? Strong muscles? Are they stronger than, say, the rifles ALREADY ON THE PLANE, IN THEIR HANDS?

I was being situational with both sides of the border, dammit.

Sometimes the American dollar can just be as useless...
