##| The rule "don't fuck with the airplanes" was intended to handle TERRORISM.
A) no it wasn't. It was to make sure we had safe flights. We had those rules long before "the fight against terrorism". It's just more pronounced todday. BESIDES, Their actions AREN'T being interpreted as TERRORISM. Where does it say that? Where is the RATIONALITY for people, in this day and age, especially in their 40's, to have a little common sense and not tell a flight attendant to basically fuck off. It ANGERS me to no end that people do not accept responsibilty for their actions. ##| The very fact that so few people care about what I consider ##| a true loss of freedom, that you all think that giving up ##| basic freedoms in the name of security is perfectly ##| sensible, does truly scare me. Where did I say we should give up freedoms? Telling a flight attendant to bugger off is a right, sure. Being a dick on an airline is a right, yeah ok. Being rude and not giving a shit about your fellow passengers on a plane is a right, absolutely. And it's the authority's right to prosecute if doing the above breaks a rule. A rule designed to make sure everyone else has a safe and stress free flight, in a several ton metal machine, flying through the air several hundred thousand miles up in the air. You know what, when I fly, I damn well want to know that every passenger, within the rules set out and agreed upon before boarding plane, are followed, adhered to, and upheld. Like I said, they want to go join the mile high club or mutually masterbate beneath the blankets, GO FOR IT!!! Just don't get caught, and when you do, apologize and move on. Jesus I am angry now. So tired of this petty bullshit. THEY GOT CAUGHT! HE WAS A DICK ABOUT IT! Gah. Bah. Meh. ##| -----Original Message----- ##| From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ##| Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 3:08 PM ##| To: CF-Community ##| Subject: Re: Couple charged under patriot act for snuggling ##| on aircraft. ##| ##| ##| I personally think that rule is asinine. ##| ##| The rule "don't fuck with the airplanes" was intended to ##| handle TERRORISM.
