He said, “Once you cross that line, I can do whatever I want.”

I said that wasn’t true. I say that I have the option of saying no and not flying.

He said, “Are you going to let me search you, or do I just throw you out?” I said, “Finish up, and then call the police please.”

When he was finished with my shoes, he said, “Okay, you can go.”

I said, “I’d like to see your supervisor and I’d like LVPD to come here as well. I was assaulted by you.”

He said, “You’re free to go, there’s no problem.”

I said, “I have a problem, please send someone over.”

The actual business plan was that Clear would do detailed background checks on travellers, who would then be trusted to bypass security completely because they were extra-super-trustworthy.

The eternal optimism of the Clear mind - Joel on Software

I just went through the TSA screening process, so this is a topic I’d really like some answers on… like, has even one single shoe bomb been found since they started doing the absolutely silly shoes off shuffle with every passenger at every airport? Has anything even remotely suspect been found in a shoe? Anything?

Maybe I should read “the news” more often, but TSA is a joke. The agent who was checking ID’s joked that she was going to the TSA screener of the year awared today (because she was really fast and super friendly-unlike about 99% of the clowns I encountered during the whole laptop/shoes/conveyor belt act.

When I carried my plastic trays over to my seat, one of the agents followed me and stood very much inside of my personal space while I put my shoes back on and re-bagged my laptop, scooping up my two plastic trays with a slight scowl as though some security risk had just been averted.

Yeah, I love flying.

pie0: peetypassion: Virgin Airlines first to get Wi-Fi on ALL Flights WiFi on airlines! I SO hope this becomes a standard for the rest of the airline industry. Look at that pic tho. Such segregation. Macs on the left. Dell on the right. (via louvature) I saw this on a flight from Dallas Fort Worth to JFK. The lady was a bit of a bitch and wouldn’t talk to me about it because I was on a different flight. I should have booked my upcoming San Diego / LA trip on Virgin… the same flight is only a DOLLAR more than US Air. A buck for in flight wifi? Hell yeah! Next time, for sure.

WiFi on airlines! I SO hope this becomes a standard for the rest of the airline industry. Look at that pic tho. Such segregation. Macs on the left. Dell on the right.

Tunnel-Flying an RC Airplane, Chasing With a Car

Fairly realistic flying car offered for 2009 delivery

The idea here is that you still have your trusty flying vehicle parked in your driveway or garage, taking up no more room than a regular motor. You stroll out, fire it up and drive it away to a nearby airstrip. Here you extend/attach the wings, prop etc., and it’s up, up and away. When you get to your destination strip, you land, convert back to roadgoing configuration, and trundle along to where you’re going. [digg this now]
