  1. Re:The TSA has not changed policy on A Peek At the National Opt-Out Day Numbers · · Score: 1

    Did you read the email? They didn't pull out a pocket torch and go rooting around in her underwear; They performed the same Enhanced search procedure they do on everyone. It's still government sanctioned sexual molestation, but "inspect [her] vagina" they didn't. That's just inflammatory bullshit you added in to troll people.

    Shame on you for lowering the tone and spreading FUD.

    Write to them before every business trip.

    "Dear Sir or Madam, I'm writing to inform you of my travel plans between $DateX and $DateY. This trip would have previously required that I make the journey by plane, but I am unwilling to subject myself to the indignity of the current 'security' procedures in place being deployed at airports, namely the Millimetre Wave and X-Ray Backscatter body scanners ("Naked body scanners") and the Enhanced patdown procedure (quoted by many as government-sanctioned sexual molestation). I will therefore be making the journey by other means, and my business expenses will go to other competing services.

    The ticket price for the journey I would have made by plane is $xxxx.xx This is a direct loss of earnings for your company. Until these invasive and unconstitutional measures are rained in, and sane policies regarding air travel security are enacted, you will continue to lose my business, in both a professional and leisure capacity.

    Running total of business lost for this year: $xxxxx.xx

    Yours faithfully."

    Until they know why you don't fly, they'll just assume you're too poor / don't want to and write it off as "current economic climate" or some other crap.

    People submit to searches at an airport because they're leaving / entering the country, which is where the TSA's authority is. They also have no choice, as they're corralled into tight queues like sheep, and there are numerous other TSA agents, and other agencies, on the end of a walkie talkie.

    I'd like to see someone deploy a naked body scanner on a road crossing a state boundary; It's really hard to stop a car doing 65MPH, unless the driver wants it to stop.

    35 hours is LOOOOOOOONG nowadays. Most AAA titles on the PC come out in 18-20 hours.

    OP wants a game where he doesn't feel he has to play all the time. I get the impression that someone without much game time would want a game you can dip in and out of, as opposed to a monolith of narrative and cinematography.

    Think of it as like watching Lord of the Rings in 10 minute segments, every week.

    Why strap them to themselves? They can quite easily take a trolley full of suitcases packed with the crap. Add in some bolts, broken glass, ball bearings, anything you can think of, pack it with some clothing so it isn't too heavy and doesn't rattle when you move, and you've got 5 or 6 mobile Claymores.

    I'm much more wary of the people around me at the check-in line than I am air-side.
