At this point, I think people are trying to put the most stupid items in the carry-ons just to see what happens. They are looking for their 15 minutes of fame and calling the paper and TV reporters so they can get it. Listen people, if you have doubt about an object being a carry-on problem.............put it in your checked bag, PERIOD. -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU] On Behalf Of damiross2@attbi.com Sent: Monday, August 05, 2002 6:30 PM To: AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU Subject: Re: Kid's 2-inch gun seized They would do a much better job. I apologize for the language in the e-mail I sent. This so-called security crap has really gotten me ticked off. I'm due to take 2 flights in the next month on Southwest. I just know that the idiots at security will pull be aside for a at-gate security check, thereby blowing my chances at gettign my favorite seat on the aircraft. (Just about every time I fly Southwest, I get a very low boarding number so I can board early. Ilike the rear-facing seats in the front, although these seats are getting rarer as WN gets more -700 aircraft.) > In a message dated 8/5/02 8:12:06 PM !!!First Boot!!!, > damiross2@attbi.com > writes: > > << get the federal > government out of the airport security business. >> > > Maybe Disney could take over?
