The P.O.P. Factor

"Just the facts, ma'am." More often than not, politically correct bullshit won't be found here. Pardon me while I exercise my 1st amendment right! I welcome all to my little world of bitches, moans, gripes and complaints, and sometimes, the downright freakin' odd. Take a seat and join me. I love a good story.

TSA - Those Same Assholes

Everyone who reads this blog already knows that I am not a real big fan of the TSA. In fact, I loathe them and everything they stand for. A non-regulated branch of our government who has too much power and like a bunch of bungling, bumbling keystone cops, just can't seem to protect anyone.  A bunch of power hungry idiots with badges who can't get a grasp on the meaning of the words, "diplomacy" and "The Constitution."

They keep coming up with these so-called safe and less intrusive methods of screening the flying public. Unfortunately, they conveniently left out the part about the health risks involved in their super-secret x-ray machine. Flying has become ridiculously expense and an inconvenience. The Supreme Court sided with the TSA, citing that the security of the flying public was detrimental to our nation and that it did not violate a person's Constitutional right to be free from an unlawful search and seizure.

I, however, will continue to exercise my 1st Amendment right to express my displeasure with them, both verbally and in writing.

Case in point -- here's a wee chuckle and the unpleasant things one encounters on an average trip to the airport.

The Entrepreneur

The man is a genius and there's no doubt he'll be rich very soon.  Imagine, a rubber pasty you can wear on all your private parts so the TSA screeners can get the message.

Pilot Error

LONDON, England (CNN) -- British police said they stopped a United Airlines pilot from flying while intoxicated earlier this week, pulling him from a Boeing 767 aircraft at London's Heathrow airport and charging him with being on duty while his blood-alcohol level was over the limit.
Scotland Yard said that Erwin Vermont Washington, 51, was taken off the plane just before take-off Monday. Washington, of Lakewood, Colorado, has since been released on bail.
United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said that "the pilot has been removed from service" during an investigation.
"United's alcohol policy is among the strictest in the industry, and we have no tolerance for violation of this well-established policy," she said.
Washington remains in the United Kingdom, Scotland Yard said.

Flying is so easy. So easy that you can do it when you're drunk or using your laptop.
