Seats in the upright position….

Politics, Terrorism

Obamaland: …hands in your lap where they belong.

Hero Jasper Schuringa thwarted an attempted terrorist attack by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab aboard Northwest flight 253 on Christmas Day.

The very next day, the Obama administration added new restrictions for airline passengers, including staying in your seat for the last hour of the flight!

But several airlines released detailed information about the restrictions, saying that passengers on international flights coming to the United States will apparently have to remain in their seats for the last hour of a flight without any personal items on their laps. It was not clear how often the rule would affect domestic flights.

The government is closed mouthed about all the changes, though Janet Napolitano said “new measures were designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same thing everywhere.”

Just because THIS particular terrorist decided to ignite his bomb during the last hour of flight does not mean others will have a like agenda. Plus, are we supposed to remain seated and watch while someone detonates themselves?

The nanny state has struck once again… but I dare say that no right thinking man or woman will adhere to the ’stay seated’ rule if they see what Jasper Schuringa did on the flight into Detroit.

Fools.

    The idiots. They don’t want us to read the last hour? Good grief. :angry:
    How about they install the machines that sniff for explosives.
    You know they will now install the “see you naked” machines at all the airports. This idiot went through screenings in two OTHER countries. They failed so now we can’t read on a plane – great, just great. Jiminy Cricket, what asstards. I’m glad he roasted his own nuts, explosives in his boxers – these guys are real prizes aren’t they?
    The problem here was security in Amsterdam and more spacifically Nigeria. Our security on flights will continue to be threatened until we fix security in other countries.
    But what do I know, I’m just a dumb infidel.

    I guess babies will have to be put in the storage bins…after all, they’re a very personal item.

    How about we START PROFILING INSTEAD OF SITTING IN OUR SEATS PISSING OUR COLLECTIVE PANTS???

    Uh, yeah. Telling terrorists they can’t get up is really going to stop them from bombing a plane. :hide:

    I’m not exactly an expert on Islam and I haven’t stayed in a Holiday Inn Express but I am wondering. What, persactly, was Umar planning to do with all those virgins after he burned his dick off? As for the new rules on flying, they don’t matter. I drive. If I can’t get there by driving, I don’t go. I won’t go anywhere where my revolver isn’t welcome. Love me, love my .357.

    Or my .38 or my .45 or my 12 gauge or my…

    Fucknozzles don’t want anything to stand in the way of a good terrorist plot.

    Well, too many of us believe in this country and would like to see her continue on. I think we’ll go after terrorists no matter what the “law” says.

    I was watching about this this morning on “Today” and loved when Matt Lauer said, “So let’s get this straight. Basically what is being said is this…you can’t guarantee our safety in the air, correct?” Response, “Uhh, well that’s not exactly what is being said, but yes, you’re correct.”

    ML: “Another question, let’s say I’m traveling with my 3 year old son who during the last hour of a flight, has to go to the bathroom. Are you telling me that I can’t take my son to the bathroom? He has to stay in his seat and soil himself? That seems ridiculous.” Response, “I believe it’s being looked at on an individual basis, and I’m sure an attendant or flight personnel would escort the individual to a facility…”

    Wow…so then flight attendants (because they hate being called “Stews” will be on potty duty? Walking people to and from the bathroom, making sure they wash their hands and don’t touch anyone else? Wow, there’s a job I want!

    Look, here’s a radical thought. Why not check the names being used against your “NO FLY LIST”?! If a person (A) Pays in cash, (B) has no luggage and (C) bought a one way ticket and (D) looks suspicious…PROFILE THE HELL OUT OF THEM and put then through the wringer.

    Geez, I’m getting to work on my way-back machine and going to go back to a time when it was pleasant to fly, people dressed for a flight, it was a special event. Hell, bring back Amtrak and let’s start using our railways! This is just stupid and beyond sad.

    Oh! I got it! In addition to buying your own snack and meal on a plane, at the beginning of the flight, you’ll be offered your choice of Depend or Absorbant Piddle Pad for your seat! Sweet!

    As far as I know, the 30 minute do not leave your seat before landing has be in effect since 9/11.

    And what your not hearing is that another unrulely muslim disrupted the same exact flight yesterday and also that that there were “several” instances of unruley passengers on diffenet flights into Detroit all day yesterday but none as rulely as the one being reported so they weren’t reported.

    Pam, they are testing. Activity A. brings being thumped unmercifully by the passengers.

    Activity B brings the airplane to the “secure area” and then everyone waits until nine bazillion FBI agents flock on board to arrest the alleged bad guy and to feel up all the 85 year old grandmas and the 92 year old WW2 vets.

    Activity C brings hard looks from passengers and crew but no other action. :hide: :angry: :pirate: :guns: :finger: :texas: :flag:

    Activity D brings that same thumping as Activity A but since there was no actual trouble, a huge lawsuit ensues, eventually bringing a ton of money to fulfill the next AlQ plot.

    All those :hide: :angry: , et cetera widgets were supposed to be at the end. Stupid internets! If somebody smart, instead of that numbnuts Algore had invented the internets then these contraptions would do what I wanted ‘em to do instead of exactly what I tell ‘em. Stupid Algore. I hope his legs grow together and his asshole is grown over until his body is as full of shit as his head is.

    And don’t get me started on the rest of that Donk crowd or I’ll use up a full week’s ration of ugly words on a Monday and have to go around the rest of the week biting my lip and kickin’ the dogs. Democrats are as deadly as the Moose Limbs, it’s just the difference between a fast action poison and a slow acting one.

    So sad of passengers :( The Airport authority should be responsible for that issue. Its showing the terrorists cleverness at the same time the securities foolishness. They cant even check the 200 passengers properly and how they run the authorities i didn’t understand.

    There are so many technologies is there to check the passengers. But I m wondering how they left him with weapons. They are doing all the mistakes but finally the people will suffer for all those things.

    Serve the passengers don’t put control for their freedom.
