Okay, I don't know how many of you people are very sensitive about the Sept. 11 thing, so if you are, please don't read this thread then bash me off or anything. I'm just complaining about how retarded the airport security systems are. My sister told me about that guy who was going to a game in Georgia and since he was late for his flight, he just ran right through the security system. So, he was caught and he was forced to do 30 hours of volunteer work, pay a $1,000 fine, and he was forbidden to go to the Georgia stadium for 3 whole seasons. Okay, now.....isn't that a little extreme and bizarre? I mean, I understand about the whole security thing, but for God's sake, they aren't even responsible enough to take care of anything! For example, in Georgia, at one airport, they forgot to turn on the metal detectors, so 100 people passed through, and nothing happened, right? So, when the dumb-asses finally figured it out, they had to call all those 100 people back from the plane to go through the metal detector again! Hello?!!!??! That is the most annoyingest thing!!! Every stupid accessory is now considered a "weapon". A pin, a hair clip.....anything that has a sharp point is considered dangerous. Okay, and if you bring any of those things, they'll immediately confiscate it and probably fine you. How dumb is that? I understand that a pin is dangerous, because it can poke someone's eye out....but, I'm wearing this ring, which is my favorite one, which is flat and star shaped and one of the points is sticking out. If I go somewhere, they'll probably make some big friggin' deal over it. Damn! Now, because of all this crap, I can't go anywhere in the summer because I don't want to go through all that and the flights will be delayed more than EVER. Anyone else feels the same way I do?
