As a result of the bag search, a variety of suspicious items were found.
I’m gonna guess a bottle of water and a fingernail clipper. Am I right?! Am I right?!
And, no, the fact that the guy detained was in fact a baddie doesn’t make me hate the TSA any less.
aah the joys of the coming police state.
US Customs agent #1: What’s in the box? What kind of camera? How much did it cost? Do you have paperwork for it? I could seize it you know. Make you pay a duty on it. Certificate of origin. Blah Blah Blah. Check the box for commercial merchandise. I’m doing you a favor by letting you in.
Me: … (remember don’t talk to the police).
US Customs agent #2: Form please.
Me: I was told to check the commercial merchandise box…
US Customs agent #2: By who? Number 17? She’s a moron. <quotes seemingly random string of numbers and letters> Tools of the trade.
Me: Thanks, I’ll remember that. <smile>
Every time I travel to Canada I can’t help but think of it as some sort of bizarro world version of the US. Close enough to be familiar enough, different enough to be odd.
Also, I remember people being frendlier. Maybe it’s just Toronto?
Zombie movie, from the zombies point of view.
Can anyone tell me why Canadian immigration officers sitting behind a desk in the secure zone of an international airport would need to wear bullet proof vests and?
Also, if you feel the need to tell me three times (without prompting) that I have NOT been singled out for harrassment, the odds are good that I HAVE been.
Holy sh*t, looks like the crazies may have been right.
The World Health Organization is investigating a claim by an Australian researcher that the swine flu virus circling the globe may have been created as a result of human error.
Adrian Gibbs, 75, who collaborated on research that led to the development of Roche Holding AG’s Tamiflu drug, said in an interview that he intends to publish a report suggesting the new strain may have accidentally evolved in eggs scientists use to grow viruses and drugmakers use to make vaccines. Gibbs said he came to his conclusion as part of an effort to trace the virus’s origins by analyzing its genetic blueprint.
“One of the simplest explanations is that it’s a laboratory escape,” Gibbs said in an interview with Bloomberg Television today. “But there are lots of others.”
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, get your tinfoil hats ready
I hate having to get up early.
Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails, so you’re saying, ‘I hope America fails,’ you’re, like, ‘I dont [sic] care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq.’ He just wants the country to fail. To me, that’s treason.
Someone should remind Wanda that “Dissent is Patriotic” *.

In rural Africa, with limited telecommunication infrastructure the internet consists of printouts.
If you want to look something up, you tell a guy (let’s call him Google) and he gets on his bicycle, rides into the city, looks it up on the internets, prints it out, then brings the printout back to you…
Aparently the first video this guy submitted to the Cleaveland bureau of tourism wasn’t too warmly recieved.
I get the feeling that they’re not going to be too happy with this one either.
