LOL rammstein.
A lot of good points here. I get annoyed when I'm not allowed to get on a plane with a cue stick, too. Especially when, just weeks later, on the same flight, a woman with KNITTING STICKS is able to get on and continue knitting on the plane!!! I mean with those things, if you do it right, you could probably skewer two stewardesses at once!
And the shoe thing has got to be the stupidest thing ever. I don't know what came first, the prison shank or the shoe shank (sorry) but the point is, a shank from one location is also very useful in the other and vice versa.
So you take your shoes off b/c they have metal in them, a shank, b/c if you don't they would BEEP. Security people scan them, see the shank in the x-ray: "Yes, good job sir for taking off your shank-packed shoes. We SEE the shank clearly, therefore we will ALLOW you to put the shoes back on in 20 seconds and TAKE THE SHANK with you ON THE PLANE." I mean does that make sense??? What if I have 1/2 a brain and figure out that "Gee, they LET me take the shank EQUIPPED shoes on the plane. Maybe I should just make the shank have a sharp edge and make it REMOVABLE. That way, once cretins with the x-ray give me my WEAPONS BACK, I can take them out and have some actual use out of them."
How can someone make a *beep* more important than the *reason* for the beep?
that's all for now.
