click on the link above to read about how Joan Rivers was denied boarding on a flight back to the states because--"a “jittery Continental Airlines gate agent” who thought the two names on her passport, which reads “Joan Rosenberg AKA Joan Rivers,” seemed “fishy.”"

i don't know about you, but i beginning to think that the terrorists have already won this battle because they have achieved what they were after-- to scare the living crap out of us. we can't walk by a backpack without getting freaked out and having half the city closed down only to find out that it was nothing more than a backpack that some kid forgot. first they made us take our shoes off cause some goofball tried to set his shoes on fire, now we're gonna have to pull our pants/skirts down and show our undies cause this dumb turdbrain decides that he wants to blow his "stuff" to smitherins--not thinking that if that happens-- all those virgins waiting for him will be for not- unless he just wants conversation.

yes i know that its serious stuff that we are having to deal with, but i honestly don't think that this is the best way of going about it. i would gladly go thru the neked scanner thingy if that enabled me to not have to strip piecemeal everytime i take a flight. i also don't think that just cause someones dark skinned or looks "arab or muslim(whatever that means)" that they should be targeted. remember the oklahoma bomber--he was white as snow and yet we didn't go around fearing every white skinned dude we saw on the plane or at the local rent a car place.

its kinda scary that this dude arrived at an american airport and on one was able to pick up on his trail of rather strong flags. i think that the american gov should make it mandatory that all foreign airports sending flights to the USA be required to body scan ALL USA BOUND PASSENGER AND LUGGAGE. i believe that right now, it is not required to scan all luggage--not a very good sign. we have to strip down to our skivvies and yet in the belly of the beast is a ticking bomb.

WELL, WHATEVER IS DONE-- NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE YOUR MOMS ADVISE: DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT A CLEAN PAIR OF CHONES ON--CAUSE U JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT HAVE TO BARE IT ALL AND THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!1
