whamo Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Did you ever see a stack of LP's on the Xray machine? I had a box of about 30 or so and brought them on. They did ask what they were and that was it. I thought they were suspicious looking myself. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jheis Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Steve: I seem to recall (from your earlier posts) that you are somehow involved with the air flight industry. What does the fact that you could have a couple of fairly serious looking capacitors in your carry - on tell you about the TSA "security" people? Too busy banning your bottled water or looking for bombs in your sneakers? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 well, that one time I flew down to Miami to pick up my 63 CW's I purchased the ticket last minute, one way, then arrived with no baggage. They had me down to nearly skivvies on that one! The hair probably didin't help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsteve01 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 James, Yes I do work for an airline. But I get the same treatment as everybody else when it comes come to going thru security, other than I usually don't get the strip search done, I have been pulled out of line at the gate and had my bag gone through by hand. I do get to cut in line if I don't want to wait in the lines tho.[] You know what TSA stands for don't you? Thousands Standing Around.............

customsteve01 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 I was in DFW (Dallas Fort-Worth) once and saw the TSA using the metal detector wand on a lady's legs and feet and she was wearing shorts and flip flops. She had no socks on but they still ran the wand over here bare legs and feet. I mean where was she going to hide any thing? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostinozz Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I find the whole post 9-11 heightened security a farce. I have flown at least 5 times with a knife since it all started. This was not intentional, I just forget to leave my knife at home. The whole scam makes everyone feel safer anyway, I guess.[:|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsteve01 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think its funny that they threw blame at the screeners that were working at the time of 9/11. The scumbags that hi-jacked our airplanes did not go thru security with anything that was banned at the time. So what did the screeners do wrong? The only thing the TSA did was change the rules and pay them more and hire more of them. I fly every 4 days so I see them alot.

Jay481985 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Well I remember they allowed knives efore 9/11 and then banned them and now restated them but with the whole no liquid thing I do not know if they rebanned it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popbumper Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Interesting. On a recent business trip, I took a handheld Rat Shack SPL meter. Security did NOT question it on the trip there, but flagged it on the trip back. I could tell they were "confused" - they asked me what it was, I told them, they had no more questions about it. Perhaps the guy knew what an SPL meter was, perhaps not, and was just looking for an answer. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Nectar Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 How could you hijack a plane with a cross over? That's easy: Everyone down -- I've got a low ESR cap! It's a good thing that those caps weren't Sonicraft Platinums. I could see myself enthusiastically explaining to TSA: "Oh, those are the hot new caps from Sonicraft. They are DA BOMB." And then I would say "Oops"[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not again!" [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
