LA Airport Security

[law.of.averages]

So,

I'm in line for security at LAX. I'm waiting to roll my stuff through the x-ray. They keep saying "We recommend you take off your shoes and run them through the x-ray" Well, I took "recommend" to mean I had an option. But I got pulled aside, and had my shoe's "shined" with some kind of test cloth.

After that, I moved to my gate, (which happened to be the one closest to security) and sat down where a construction crew left a table, setup the laptop and started working... even managed to hook into the wireless leaking from the 'president's lounge' as well.

I'm there about 30 minutes when I hear security shouting Everyone stop moving immediatly. They repeated it 2 or 3 times to make sure everyone heard.

It's absolutely amazing how many people will hear someone say Everyone stop moving immediately and walk toward the speaker to see what the commotion is all about. People are IDIOTS!

I heard a radio bark "I have visual contact" but the rest was muffled. Thankfully after a few minutes they let everyone go again, and I wasn't stuck there while they hunted someone down.

Whoa, freaky stuff. Glad you are ok!

[Houdini]

Did you let them know you were the Law?

[nonstop]

I thought you were going to get busted for ganking bandwidth.

My guess, the terminal snack shop was down to their last donut...

No better use of tax payers dollars then a million dollar infered, gyroscopicially stabalized, laser sighted, bomb sniffing, donut cam.

I've been to LAX before as well, and it's definitely interesting taking off my shoes and walking nearly bare foot. Most of the people were douche bags as well. At least my flight attendants were hot

[Hoss]

Oh shit...that was me...I farted but I didn't understand what the big deal was.

Its the same way at Cincys airport. Taking shoes off is NOT an option...take em off or get a cavity search. Yet, there are security holes so wide that if I time it right I can walk alongside runways at night and never be noticed.

I almost got on a plane from St Louis to San Diego last year with a pair of hair scissors. Inadvertantly, they were in the little travel bag I had purchased. The security officer pulled me aside, searched the bag for until he found them. Proceeded to check how sharp they were and said "These aren't allowed". I responded "Uh.. I had no idea those were in there and I rarely fly.".

So he proceeds to tel me that he'd let it slide this time. Told me I might have problems on my return flight.

Duhh.. I said "Just throw them away, I don't want any problems over a $2 pair of scissors!".

So, if you have any intention of hijacking a plane, all you have to do is play dumb!
