That is not what I am saying. Read the thread. I agree that people with beards are not protected, nor folk with glasses, nor would they be. However, if, as this guy says, you are getting RANDOMLY selected 80% of the time... Do I have to spell this out for ya? Someone is being trained to look at this guy and think "that is a duck" even if it may not be one. That is called profiling. And yes, if I am getting the "treatment" 80% of the time I fly, I would sue. It takes time out of my day, it makes me want to fly less, it affects my mindset. It makes me grumpy, and that is not a good thing. So, to recap for you, yes I agree with you, but I feel you fail to properly understand what profiling is, therefore your argument against is invalid. Also, the only way to change federal law to cease said profile would be to sue to have it reduced or to provide proper compensation for those that have a proper grievance. After all, if you did not want to sue, the KKK would still be loving the site of the "coloreds" walking out to an outhouse rather then getting the same treatment that every person has a right for. Then again, some don't realize what is being done to them till they walk away from the casino with no wallet. Which are you? Call me paranoid, call me whatever. I don't care.

I forget the guy, but the NYC cops brought him in, beat him, raped him with a plunger, got thier confession, and sent him on his way. He gets to Rikers Island, goes to Mercy, gets 1 mil, the 5 guys who did it are now rotting. Do a search on google for it for more info. "So I was thinking about doing a search for, latex bondage."

As long as your up to it, never forget that NY city's security force gave birth to the term "plunger rape" while beating said African descended people... Of course, perfection demanded in perfection attained....
You have a beard, you have glasses, you fit the profile of what someone has said to look for. That fits under the the Supream Courts ruling for racial profiling.
Besides, half of the middle east can look white easily, and I can look like I am from there after twoo weeks in Florida.
Keep track of your flights to searches. Now that all airport security is done by the feds, you could file a racial profile suit and win rather easily if your numbers are right.
Keep some good logs over the next year, and you would have a VERY interesting case. Oh, and make the person searching you sign the ticket page you log it on in journal and on your ticket stub. (thu preeveeus ehnttree wus not spehl ckekd) "NEVER bluff with super-weapons!" Dr. Evil
Would you need to a chemo-card to prove that you really had cancer and had to have the treatment? I hope and pray folk are not harassed, as that is very last thing that they need in their lives (very personal experience talking there).
On a rather serious note, it is interesting to see that someone even had the thought that someone carrying a dirty bomb strapped to them would "pose" (and I use the word here literally, so do not flame me here) as a cancer patient. Perfect way to disguise it, very clever. And to think that security noticed it at least commendable.

No, for Alan, the perfect lure is to hit him with a message about his penis size and send it to his laptop during to court proceedings.

Alan, Sue me bitch. I don't give a care. For years now, you and your have somehow gotten my email and sent me all sorts of shit that takes my time from me. My time is money, and if you want to go down that route, then go ahead. You take my time, I'll take yours. You can sue the anti-spammers all you want, but your dumb ass will smaked so hard your head will spin and will take you another 5 years just to get over that. So sue bitch. You take my server space, my bandwidth, and my time and force me to clean up the shit you leave on the internet. If you don't like it, leave us the hell alone, or find a better way of doing your "job"

Worst Sci-Fi ever? Battlestar Galactica, 1980 That was HORRIBLE!!! (and yes I know it was not a movie, but it was such a let down...and the wires...and Wolfman Jack...and the acting...and) DAD...have not seen it yet, I am waiting for it to download off of Kazaa, though I now wondering if my bandwidth is worth even trying to look at that piece of crap. Our ever present hope is that some will do a movie well with both good effect and keep true to the writer's intent, but ever so often, Sci-Fi is reduced to a light show voices rather then social and moral commentaries they are supposed to be. Tis a shame. "Bastard operators don't just win...they win and demoralize...that is REAL winning."

The only REAL features you will have in 2013 that are not in the pitcutre now.....NOTHING. All the same shit, all smaller. 6. Oh, and MS and DRM will by then rule all or fall by the wayside.

Every time some Nazi would yell "Mien Leavin" or whatever it was, take a shot. If he gets shot in the head, we take a shot to the head.
Then again, if I was shot in the head, would I have time to say "MY LIFE!!!!" before my ass hit the floor. More likely I would say "Stupid bitch, no wonder your name is BJ!" That, or ouch.
Ah yes, nothing wasted time like SC, X-Tank, Wolf and like. No wonder the users hated us.

Is there anything that truly catches your imagination? It used to be EQ, or Quake 3. I just tried UT3K, and well, it is nice.
That is all I can say about it. It is nice.
The last game I bought and was into was RTCW. Is this the end of PC gaming as we know it? Is our road that of being console unit's bitch?
The problem, as I see it, is that there is no game that caters to the PC's strengths. Nothing that makes me want to play, for lack of a better phrase, addicts me.
What would bring PC gaming back to the heady days of Doome, Civ2, Quake 3 and UT, when we ruled the roost? What would make something interesting?
Dead... Leechers, spamers, spyware, DMCA, RIAA, MPAA, ASS and all the other fun reasons why P2P will not work. I remember once when we were bored in a testing lab once and figured out the number of world wide users of Napster and thier like during the heyday of it all. If the recods company got thier heads out of thier ass and asked everyone to pay 15 bones a month... You would have done it...and tpo make matters even better, CD's would still be bought at least the rate they are now. Instead... Like I said, now it is ruined. Things are no bvetter now then when I was using a BBS and a FTP folders hidden on my CEO's root directory (a great use of wasted space by the way). P2P can work, but RM must accounted for in one or another. Remember, time = money... Even if your Dick Stallman -WAR TUX!!!
