I rolled the dice and got on the plane, and am still alive to tell the tale, but during the whole flight I was expecting us to blow up in mid air at any moment. Maybe they got the bags off the plane after these guys didn't show up for the flight, maybe not. At least they made sure the little old lady wasn't up to anything nefarious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619963.post-25844266531468136542010-02-21T13:30:38.829-08:002010-02-21T13:30:38.829-08:00that'll be enough of that anti-american, snark...that'll be enough of that anti-american, snarky wiseass bluster from *YOU*, buster!! eternal vigilance of all non-islamic/arabic looking/origin males between the ages of 15-40 is the price of FREEDOM, mr. teabagger government hater! <br /><br />one more time: the security forces are our FRIENDS. they're only doing their job in what cleverly seems to be a completely random, totally incompetent manner to HELP us and confuse the enemy. <br /><br />really, they're quite a lot like recon marines and navy SEALS: warrior heroes giving their all - except when they're on break - on the deadly dangerous front lines of the battle for freedom. ask them: they really believe that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619963.post-52634849286011631902010-02-20T21:18:56.022-08:002010-02-20T21:18:56.022-08:00Yes but do they pay you your bonus in US Treasurys...Yes but do they pay you your bonus in US Treasurys?
