The Chairman of Quantas was passing thru LA passport and immigration at the airport (the pits) and was asked to open brief case.

"You got airplane plans in here!"
"yes, I am the chairperson of Quantas"
"You cant be, you''re a woman"

True story

True story
Gerry,

One of the most senior Senators in the US was about to board a plane when he found his name on the No Fly list. He said:

"That's impossible. I'm Ted Kennedy." It was possible.

True story.

A woman was arrested for a T-shirt slogan violation at the President's State of the Disunion Address.

True story.

Another woman in San Diego was fired for having a bumper sticker on her car from the local Air America radio station.

Sadly, another true story.

Welcome to BushCo., Land of the Frightened, home of the Cowered and Disappeared.

Gerry, what say we do a trade. You give us Howard, we give you Dubya, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condi, Scooter, Rove, Scalito, Roberts, Perle, Frist, DeLay, Bolton, Wolfowitz, Feith, Bush Sr., Poindexter and, since we Americans are a generous lot, we'll throw in Lynn Cheney and a partridge in a pear tree.

Do we have a deal?
 
He can have Howard Stern, too.

Ted Kennedy was warned about being on the no fly list. He said he''d cross that bridge when he came to it.
 
But who cares if he was warned? He shouldn''t have been on it in the first place. I''m glad that he still flew and drew attention to this issue of people being put on no-fly lists for no apparent reason. He''s TED KENNEDY and it took weeks for his people to get him off. Imagine how frustrating it is for the average US citizen who''s on the list for no reason.
 
it is my understanding that we as ordinary people cannot get off the list once we are on the list.

Yea king teddy.
Maybe they didnt want murderers of young woman flying on the plane.
 
Probably you are correct! Martha''s Vineyard was not named for Martha Stewart.
 
storm, Were you there the night that poor young lady died? You act like you have first hand information. Do you have an axe to grind?
 
Well, I'm not condoning Ted Kennedy's previous actions, but I don't think that they should prevent him from flying. We as ordinary people can get off the list if we're on there in error or have a name that's very close to a person's who is on the list, but it's a long and arduous process. I know someone who's trying to do it now.

I believe this is true too.

My 11 year old niece is on "the list". Her mom and dad have to address this issue everytime she flies. They have to be at the airport long before they normally would in order to have her cleared each time. My niece always feels so badly about this, even though she realizes it is not her fault.

It is worthy to note that staunch environmentalist Kennedy is opposing wind powered electricity generators that would "spoil" the view from the Kennedy compound on Cape Cod. Not in MY back yard!

Mister,

Is a warning in your world enough? Does being warned that your name is on the no-fly list constitute a prison sentence?

If so, let me warn you: Mr Majestyk, Your beliefs are currently a danger to the future of this planet.

Feel good?
