More from Karno
OK, so I needed a CD of software for my "Cartoon history of Iceland" project. My computer bag (which was my carryon bag for the trip to Iceland) seemed the likeliest place to find the CD. But a thorough search of my bag turns up, not my software CD, but a box of 12-gauge buckshot shells. Remember how a .38 hollowpoint cartridge had somehow fallen in my bag on my 2010 Iceland trip? I was surprised, but grateful it hadn't been found and got me in trouble, then. But this time, I'm plain flabbergasted. A box of shotgun shells in the OUTSIDE pocket of a carryon bag - and 3 trips thru the x-ray machines fails to turn it up?? This is why I call it "security theatre"! Yikes!
Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, does anyone know where I can find version 5.0 or older of QuarkXpress for download? They're offering a 30 day trial of version 9.0, but my Macs here are too old to open it, let alone run it.

oh i know what you mean on that one karno i've done similar with a 4 inch lock knife that i use for work and a zippo lighter completely full 4 trips though the x ray and they got picked up on the way home when i had moved them from my carry on to the suitcase. its kind of stupid really
you think that's bad, I went threw TSA at a smaller airport and their sensors where set for paranoid, after practically stripping me down to my second layer of skin then they pulled out a q-tip and swabbed ME; not just my stuff. ME. then after that was over with they let me grab my gear and get to my plane (which I was five minuets late for) thankfully in my dash towards my terminal, with one shoe on and a sleeve of my button up shirt, got me to my flight on time.
in my mad dash I actually darted past the pilots of my flight, thank you TSA...

Hey, you could take out the autopilot with that, and planes are so complicated you can barely fly them without the autopilot these days

I refuse to get on any planes with suspicious looking pornographic artistic goateed terrorists, no matter their excuses. Holy crap!!
SEARCH YOUR BAGS EVERY FREAKING TIME! You're very very lucky the Homeland Security zombies are that stupid.
Next time expect a body cavity search.

A cavity search on Karno? Mmm.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGEL2muzPEE
Well it's lead and brass neither will set of a machine since they are all looking for iron/steel metal parts. Until some nut jacks a plain with a brass or copper khopesh, a lead balls in a sock or one of those flint daggers.
I would not be surprised that in the future you will be undressed, cuffed and sedated before being placed on a plane.

I would honestly not mind if they sedated all the passangers during a flight. Imagine, no screaming kids, no getting woken up to get a dry, disgusting sandwich that you didn't want anyway, and no crappy in-flight movies. You board the plane, you fall asleep, and when you wake up again you're on the ground at your destination.
Although I would miss the G-force pull at takeoff.

Oh well they can always put up some of those insta-barf thingamajig in the waiting lobby.

What, you mean unlimited sexual assaults aren't job perks for the TSA? Dangit! *tears up application*
Seriously....a friend of mine has a metal implant in his HIP and a med-card saying so and STILL gets the enhanced pat-down every time he flies.
Hey I know -- let's ass-rape everyone as a security measure at airports. C'mon, what terrorist would go near an aiurport if he knew he was going to get ass-raped? Huh? Huh?

Yes the good kind.
If what most people are saying here is true, then all this "security" people are being put through is a waste of time and money. Not only that, but it's an unnecessary invasion of privacy for whatever reason. Karno is legally allowed to own such things, so he wouldn't be in any trouble; especially when the "security" let him through the checkpoints without blinking.
On the other hand, one of two things *might* come across from him and others pointing out what really happens at these checkpoints. Either actual security will begin happening at these spots, or the fake security will be removed and stop bothering people over nothing. The way things are now, there's no actual point in it, and though I don't think it's a bad thing to have some sort of security, I DO think it should either be effective and thorough, or be removed.

Also, I've honestly never been on an airplane, and have no plans in the near future to ever get on one. Those things are scary in more ways than one, of late. And I hear that people who have an abiding fear of airplane flights then relent and get on one "just this once" tend to die.
Also, for your amusement, the web site that politely reminds you hand grenades are still a prohibited carry-on item http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtra.....d-items.shtm#6
german authorities have called off the body scanner experiemnt when it turned out it went off on people's sweaty spots under their armpits, but failed to show what testing people had on their bodies... and often failed to show things correctly.
they are nothign but a waste of ressources and money and can not replace a throrough search by intelligent humans.
paranoia costs money, apparently.

Before the time of the TSA, i got busted for having an kneaded eraser up against a travel alarm clock, in my fanny pack, with all my other arty stuff.
looked like plastic explosive an a timing device on the x-ray.
I had to explain what a kneaded eraser was, an how you use it..
even had to draw a picture in pencil, then ink over it. then erase the pencil marks to prove that it was an eraser..
Took like forever to convince them, cause they didn't want to let me touch any of the stuff..
