And there were rules about not eating the same dish at meals beforehand for the same reason - don't want all 3 cabin staff to have food poisoning from the same bad shellfish in the paella.
Glad to see that Airplane! had a beneficial effect on air safety rules.
They also hate calling something a "terrorist attack" if there isn't a pre-announced political message for the reasons behind the attack.
Well isn't that pretty much the definition of terrorism?
There was no warning from Al Qaeda before 9/11, that doesn't stop it being terrorism.
my first guess is that he's an ISIS sympathizer
I'm not sure a terrorist who had control of a plane and didn't mind killing themselves would just dive into a mountain. Why not turn round and crash into the airport? Surely you'd be bound to cause more death, destruction and disruption?
Real cosmetics.
Sounds like an expensive way of getting drunk to me.
Fry's and Costco nazi's can go fuck themselves.
Yeah, fight the fucking power bro.
Well technically he still has the right to refuse an unlawful search of his person
For those unfamiliar with costco they are not searching your person. They ask you to show your receipt and they take a quick look through and under your shopping cart.
Thankyou, some of the posters above were making it sound like you were being given a full cavity body search at gunpoint.
I have never, and will never, submit to exit searches like that.
They'll have to pry that receipt from your cold, dead fingers.
That goes both ways. I have a concealed carry permit and I DO carry my firearm everywhere. If a security guard were to so much as grab a gun in a manner threatening towards me, I'll blow his fucking head off.
Hey guys, it's the Navy Seal guy with over 300 confirmed kills! Let's see if we can feel his muscles.
Many states, including my home state of WV, have "stand your ground" laws where the bar to use deadly force is very low. In WV all that is required is a notice posted "Private property. No trespassing. Violators will be shot" notice. It is quite silly really. Our stand your ground law puts Florida's to shame!
If I saw a sign that actually said THAT, I'd be pretty STUPID to trespass, now wouldn't I?
As a non-American, if I saw a sign like that I'd assume the owner was joking, and if I did get shot I'd expect the police to arrest the arsebiscuit for attempted murder.
Interestingly most people seem to think that those people have some power to actually stop or detain you. I to just keep on walking, the worst that has ever happened is that person at the door yelled "Hey you stop! I need to check your receipt!" If you choose to not stop and they attempt to detain you the law is on your side since you can bring false imprisonment charges against them provided you haven't actually done anything else other than leave or attempt to leave with your legally purchased items.
If you haven't stolen anything, why would you decide to act like an arsehole? Does the little thrill of power over annoying someone on minimum wage doing his job make you feel better about yourself?
I don't get it.
I doubt that any of the "good actors" would ever use a nuclear device first.
Well, they already did. Haven't you heard about Little Boy or Fat Man?
That's different, the US was at war. Er...
One of the 'good actors' was the first to develop and has been the only one to ever use nuclear weapons. Despite there being no military reason for it other than to demonstrate a more efficient method of killing civilians than anything that had been developed before.
This is just another way to say "The US is bad and everyone else is oh-so-wonderful" which is a popular theme around
No, it's a way of saying "the US is the only country to have used nuclear weapons against mass civilian targets." Whether you think it's justified or not does not affect the truth of that statement.
What? Bush lied? Obama lied? Say it isn't so!
Whatever your view of Obama, you can hardly blame him for the Iraq invasion in 2003 when Bush was president.
> I can't think of any state that managed to stave off invasion because it had chemical weapons...
Yep. If you're fighting a modern military, it will be effectively immune to chemical or biological weapons. The only thing you can do with those is to get very lucky with a sneak attack, or attack civillian populations.
I think when Tony Blair was twatting on about Sadaam Hussein having WMDs that would reach Britain, the assumption was they would be used to attack civilians. If they had existed, that would have been a good reason for Britain not to invade Iraq. So it was lucky they didn't exist and we did invade...Hold on.
