No knowing what terrorist threat I might meet in the air! Thank God for my BOW AND ARROW!

America is still riding the initial wave of panic generated from 9-11, you've got to excuse them until they realize that there are far better ways to do such things.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

It's been almost 4 years. I guess that fingernail clippers can be the most dangerous hand to hand weapons in the world and ice picks are as harmless asplastic hooks. :rolleyes:


But one thing I have learned the hard way is to never, ever underestimate American paranoia.

Isn't this lifted from an example in Manglement's Guide to Using Buzzwords?

Terrorists shooting their planes down!!!!1 :shaking:

This is not a signature.
You did not see this.
It was all a dream.
You will not tell anyone about this.

Now go and read this signature again.

So, you actually bothered to scroll down, eh? If you're that bored, you might as well take a look at the links above.

I once saw a plastic spork placed in the Stanstead 'dangerous weapons' box next to the departures lounge. It was sitting next to an absolutely gigantic flickknife (in fact, it looked more of a flick-machete).

Long story.


Since I'm going to be flying in a couple of weeks, I would rather not have people bring a bow & arrow on board.

Make sure those trained in the martial arts are never allowed to fly again until they develop acute arthritis and are no longer able to function as lethal killing machines using their bare hands.

The government has something up their sleeves. Maybe it's those back scatter X-ray machines. Whatever it is, it's not good.
