One in four travelers smuggle liquids through TSA checkpoints {Gadling}

Nov 3rd 2011 1:29PM Gee,...What definition of the word "inadvertently" did you not understand? My brother "accidently" left a clip in his bag left over from a hunting trip. You said he should be "slammed in prison for years,.." From your reply, should I assume you are a TSA employee?

My simple point was that TSA gives us a false sense of security. Again, my brother walked through unabated with a loaded 45 clip in his carry-on while we watched an 80 year old woman being practically stripped searched. What,...? Did her hip replacement set off an alarm? I can sympathize. I badly broke my arm several years ago. I have three titanium plates and a dozen screws in the same. Am I going to be stripped searched and X-rayed everytime I fly? OH, BTW, the last time I flew, I had just broken that arm and had a shoulder to wrist cast. The only hassle I got was from a TSA agent "requiring" me to unlock and open my suitcase with one hand. She said I had to do it. I complied as best I could with one hand.

Nov 1st 2011 2:13PM Once, while traveling with my brother, we witnessed what looked like an 80 year old woman practically being stripped searched while my brother and I passed through easily. When we got to our destination and unpacked, my brother discovered that he had inadvertently left a fully loaded 45 caliber clip in his carry-on bag. Oh, I feel so safe, now,...LOL

How much money does Wal-Mart really save consumers? {BloggingStocks}

Jun 20th 2006 2:39PM We, people in the stock market, are just at the mercy of the major players. The NYSE and others are no better than going to Las Vegas.

I find it sad that "major" company's can "back-date" their stock options, while the rest of us "hang our asses/risks out! That is outrageous!
