All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I have been, Dozer....ice water, Slim Fast and red wine vinegar. lol
There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
The only answer I found for all this hurt
Is there ain't not answer here on earth
Nobody thought sneakers were a threat either until a terrorist tried to light the fuse on his Reebocks over the Atlantic in 2001.
Now everyone removes their shoes.
How about trying to stop stuff before it happens then trying to play catch up all the time?
OP- just drive everywhere. Enough whining.
Piss off.
How about making realistic security decisions instead of reactionary policies and unnecessary bannings? This ban does not make us one bit safer.
Neither do the shoe searches because once they banned matches and lighters, shoe bombs aren't a threat anymore.
You think it's whining that the terrorists are changing the way we do things? That the government is making assinine security policies that don't make us safer?
And BTW, we've already been over this- flying isn't always a choice. And even when it is, why should I put up with this BS because of stupid terrorists and even more stupid government policies. It's unreasonable, unnecessary and doesn't make us any safer. The only way to make us truly safe is to just ban air travel altogether.
OP...it's not even 10AM...get over it...there is no reason for the crap that is taken into a plane...terrorist threat or not...you buy a ticket; you ride the plane...there is NO REASON TO HAVE TOOTHPASTE ON BOARD. period. It is not a singles bar. If you breath is that bad get it taken care of by an oral surgeon. Be thankful they don't make you sit there with your hands folded. Not get over it and get some air.
does it matter if there's a reason? The terrorists are still telling us what to do and the government is still making security policies that are reactionary and don't make us safer.
Why don't they just strip search us then make us check our clothes and board the plane naked? Will you be saying "get over it" when it comes to that?

So you would rather we don't do anything because it inconveniences you, right? So what if terrorists blow up a few planes, Op isn't inconvenienced and that is what counts.

I would rather the government comes up with policies that actually PROTECT us. IF this stuff is so dangerous:
a) why hasn't it been banned before
b) why hasn't it EVER lead to one death or injury, ANWHERE, EVER? Terrorism and liquid explosives weren't invented yesterday.
You think it's about convenience- I think it's about reasonable responses to risks and threats.
