8/17/2006 4:21:34 PM

it'd be funny if it was everclear.

8/17/2006 4:21:41 PM

exactly what substances do the tests look for, and what are the dogs are trained to smell?

is there a possibility of something harmless testing positive?

8/17/2006 4:29:36 PM

not positive the technical specs of the Transportation Safety Authority's tests...its possible there could be false readings but they said it tested positive twice...and of course racial profiling is wrong and bad but the woman was Pakistani

8/17/2006 4:31:00 PM

If tests positive twice,
don't let her on the flight.

8/17/2006 4:32:53 PM

exactly mr. cochrane...feds talking to her as we speak i'd imagine

I would totally blow up Chicago before Charlotte

8/17/2006 4:49:16 PM

I flew last week and things seemed intense even tho my brother got a tube of gel degree on the plane without knowning.

HA! shit

8/17/2006 5:11:07 PM

8/17/2006 5:21:37 PM

"The original security tests were done with an Explosives Trace Detector. The bottles tested positive for explosives, and a re-test confirmed the results. Local law enforcement was notified, and an explosives detection canine team confirmed the presence of explosives. "

Jesus, this is totally fucked up.

Machine gives positive test.
Machine gives positive test AGAIN.
Dogs give positive reaction.

WTF?

They fucking need to destroy those detectors and slaughter those dogs, and get new ones. This is fucking getting WAY out of hand.

8/18/2006 5:10:04 PM

i hope thats sarcasm

8/18/2006 5:12:32 PM

which part? my comments, or the actual crazy story?

isn't it fucked up that a detector gives a positive result twice, and then that is confirmed by a dog, but there were NO explosives?

i think even the detector and the dog are becoming part of the conspiracy and acquiring brains of their own; by giving positive results, they are obviously working for bush to up his ratings.

8/18/2006 5:16:57 PM

lots of people on here have trouble differentiating sarcasm with legitimate posts

not me

8/18/2006 5:20:02 PM

These are the expressions that the TSA will be on the look-out for. The six official expressions of terrorism.

There are, of course, a few more terro-expressions that should require an immediate strip-search...


"Ennui"


"Smirking"


"Power-Trip"


"The Silent Treatment"

Called It.

guess ill be getting searched, cuz im always pissed in the airport when im forced to sit around waiting on a bunch of retards who cant follow regulations.

8/19/2006 10:17:31 AM

Why'd they test the bottles in the first place? I thought it was just "ma'am, we're gonna have to take your lotion. You're not allowed to have it on the plane." But they're actually testing all the bottles of liquid they confiscate?

8/19/2006 10:29:52 AM

maybe she answered no to having any, then they saw them in the bags, then they tested them
