:shocking:

wrists band you have to wear to board a plane that can shock you! ooooooo. lets just toss all our freedoms away for a few threats.


Naturally, the common people dont want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

yikes

if they were to do something like that... I cant wait till the first time there's an error and someone gets shocked who was innocent... or better yet, the system messes up and shocks the whole damn plane. Just to add to it, those with devices such as pacemakers.... I hope someone thinks this through before it happens.

and defibrillators. lets shock the heart out of beat by messing with the leads on the defibrillator :icon_tup:

It's amazing the lengths the government will go to in order to avoid doing the one simply unobtrusive thing that would have prevented 9/11: letting the pilots carry guns and/or tazers.

thankfully people are going to be allowed to carry guns apparently on them in airports, should make the braceleting ceremony that much more interesting.

When do we start heiling Bush?

Sounds like a great way to put the final nail in the airline industry's coffin. Go Homeland Security!!

I was telling my friends the way things are going it feels like it's only a matter of time before you will have to strip nude, be issued an airline smock/muumuu at your expense and be blindfolded in order to board a plane, the shock collars make a nice addition to the wardrobe.
