So yesterday morning we wake up and we learn that yet another susposed alleged Terror Plot has been broken up by Security in Another Country ( UK but with intended American Airlines, yet susposedly American Intelligence is not involved). We learn that we will exprience more Security Changes Again.Basically we are not to take any grooming products, no soap, no hand lotion, suntan lotion, toothpaste. So I guess we are Going GreyHound, and by the time
we reach our destination we will indeed be the Great Unwashed arriving to Other Shores. Will we feel any safer? I don't think so. I mean they still will allow matches and lighters,I do think those could be used to Ignite Something? And we still have to take off shoes because of an incident involving a deranged individual 2 years ago.( We are the ONLY Country that is still mandating such a thing).So even though the Airlines do not offer food water or cheapass stale peanuts anymore, and you used to be able to bring your own damn snacks and Friggin' Peanuts, now you can basically fly, starve and stink at a great expense. In the UK you can't bring cellphone, or laptop , you have to travel with a plastic ziplock bag. And has Anyone thought that Maybe the Instability that we have brought upon the Middle East might indeed be feeding alot of AntiAmerica Hatred?? ( hell I think I even understand WHY Other Countries Hate us- it ain't rocket science). So I do indeed think that threats made against our Country and the Airlines is indeed possible. I also find it Interesting that Bush was warned right around August 6th, just like he was in 2001 ( remember the August 6th Condi Memo about Bin Laden that NO ONE wants remembered???) So here is my solution FLY NAKED...some smart person should think about setting up such Service. It would require minimal security...if any. Go Over to Kvatch's ( over at the Coffee Counter)....He has a Great Post up on it.... ( very eloquent with Great Graphics).

i am actually traveling tomorrow - but in my 06 bio-jetta -- running on US grown soybeans
not only should people be thinking about local politics/food but also travel...JMHO
thanks for the great blog!!
I'm stripping as I type! Could get a bit nippy at times, but maybe the airlines could provide afghans.
Goddess: You go and travel in your senisble jetta- wow..I am envious...( I actually would love to take an old diesel mercedes and turn it into a French Fry car...with that lovely earthfriendly smell ...)Have safe and Happy travels...
PeaceChick: You go and strip...hmm, about the afghans...wow they won't supply tissue at this rate..but MAYBE just maybe they would give us a little granny afghan...( My son wiseassedly pointed out last night that you can still bring knitting needles, crochet hooks on board...he is waiting for them to ban books as a "Security Threat"....hmm, yes, Orweillian Cynicism reigns here at the Enigma Cafe...Have a good weekend...and if you are flying...wow..bring a good book.
OKAY...MR6-6 ( my 15 yr old son) has contributed the ultimate plan.. Airlines should ALLOW...MANDATE.....EACH FLIGHT SHOULD HAVE WOMEN FLY NAKED- AND GIVE THEM RIBS TO EAT AS THEY WAIT- THIS WOULD DETER ANY ISLAMIC TERRORISTS...
( crew having homeland security or air marshalls on flights...this should keep ALL flights safe)
( pretty good eh? hmm, Maybe Homeland Security should hire him.....hehe....NOT)
Loved the picture; loved the solution -- make that pork ribs. The funk is disappearing as we can find ways to laugh about these Bushies and their failures.
Can anyone tell me what the code for IMHO stands for?
I think IMHO means IN MY HUMBLE OPINION....
( of course I am a humble bloggerss so what do I know???)
Now, my dear enigma..I simply couldn't fly naked, it would scare the small children and that would lead to crying for the whole friggin trip. We can't have that...can we?
But remember you would be performing a Service for Homeland Security... saving your country... ( and all that country- all you have to do is sit there and eat Pork Ribs - in First Class-scare off the terra-ists....)
I have not flown since 9-11 (not really out of fear I just have not had any place to go, yet.), but if they start having women fly naked I will purchase my ticket today!
Because clearly I am a pervert and I do get so very bored on long flights. It would do a lot to liven things up.
Of course I live in Alaska so the practicality of this might be a challenge. And I don't have to be naked do I? I mean I get so very cold as it is.
Gryphen: no sweetie- you just have to come and watch , we don't want you to catch a chill- well unless you want to.....I mean Be Vigilant- you know protecting the country and all. ( if you fly on the NAKED AIR- you would be a Patriot..not a prevert....)
All you have to do is Bring the Ribs...and oh, maybe a napkin or two...hehe...
( I haven't flown in a LONG time- cause it is too friggin' expensive....)
Good to see you ;-)be sure to have some cake...Birthday and all....
There was a discussion at my place about this being just yet another way for somebody to make money off of fear. Example: Almost all of the banned products, are petroleum based, especially the makeup products: Lipstick, liquid foundation, creme blush, creme eyeshadow, liquid eyeliner, mascara.
Now they know good and well that we women are going to have to replace these banned products if forced to toss 'em out, and isn't that helping out the petroleum business?
Plus: Since you can't carry on any drinks including even kids sippy-cups, which is outrageous-- the last thing anybody needs or wants on a plane is a kid screaming their head off because they can't drink out of their own sippy-cup-- but how much you wanna bet that the airports are now going to start selling $7.00 bottles of water and juice so that as soon as you get off of the plane in a state of dehydration, you are forced to pay thru the nose?
I agree with Tina...tres' brill!
what, are you trying to tell me those x-ray glasses that used to be advertised in comic books don't work? Women who fly naked should get to fly for free. flying men should pay double (at least). children? hmmm, best to seal them in isolation cones, to protect their tender sensibilties & the other passengers from hearing their screams for food, water, juice. I say the first muni-airport private charter jet service that advertises old-fashioned flights, no harum-scarum hooey, will be inundated with customers. Maybe Warren Buffet would be interested in this idea. D.K.
DK: It is an idea, but I glad that you see the pratical side- maybe that guy who owns VIRGIN Airlines will be inspired...and yeah, this is absurd- sport drink and a camera???? I don't buy it.....I just don't...and has anyone noticed that this shit always comes down when The Poodle and the King are on vacaion- and we find out George knew a Week ago.....and yeah this absurd- and it does mean women are throwing away all their makeup and the poor kids, and babies...and the one broadcast on it said that Breast Milk- it must be proven ( WHAT?????) to breast milk....fucking absurd....So I guess the airlines will be driven right into the ground - again. BTW. In the English newspapers the Arrestees are not all Pakistani- some are Islamic converts- born and raised in Britian....Sounds to me like a mosque was infiltrated...I do not know what to beleive anymore....I just know at a certain point sometimes we need a laugh...cause this is nuts....
Enigma is right about IMHO so I suspect JMHO is "just my humble opinion"?
I picked my son up at Amtrak today. He rode from Bakersfield CA here to Merced.
He said the train was crowded (unusual for our trains at any time) and that passengers had said Greyhound was as well.
I believe it.
I haven't flown in years either. Not fear; just noplace to fly to.
I quite simply can't afford it...at all.. a friend flew from Ctown to Detroit the other day- 700...that is absurd...and I have not traveled in a long time..and most people I know it is the same thing- they only travel when they can afford- or if it is an emergency....
Kvatch, I didn't know frogs could fly.
As a post-pregnant grandmother, I don't WANT to fly naked. But I wouldn't mind if the pilots were flying naked, and would come out of their cockpit to say hello.
But I am part of the coalition of the perfectly coiffed, so don't mess with my cosmetics bag.
DIVA:Hmmmm, Pilots naked- I am fine with that as long as they aren't drunk too....and I always like when they say hello- although they NEVER look like their voices....it's disillusioning.... And make up...whelp...I don't wear much and the bummer is that usually when I have it on no one really notices- and that too is disheartening- so I guess that is why I don't care...( But if you are prefectly coifed we should work to keep you that way and comfy....)
KVATCH: I love to fly, when I can...and I love the train even more- which just shows I am old fashioned ( and poor).
diva -- I worked for an aircraft manufacturer a few years back, and we had to call it the flightdeck because the term "cockpit" was considered offensive. Due to the nature of the topic here, I will encourage the audience to write their own joke here, ala Letterman...
Several people mentioned modesty for not wanting to fly naked, but then again, I think us fuglies outnumber those with 6-pak abs and hourglass figures by, oh, about ten to one. Might be hard to feel homely sitting next to Rush.
Might also be hard not to bash him in the mouth, though.
IMHO.
Whelp in my NOT so Humble Opinion....
I think if I was sitting next to Rush here is What Might Accidentally happen.... I would order a TALL Bloody Mary ...with LOTS of Ice...and then I would have a Awful Accident...And OOOOoooooops I would spill the drink...and watch him squeal like a little girl....
Be careful you don't spill any of that bloody down his piehole; it's my understanding that booze and Oxycontin don't mix. I wouldn't want...wait...what the hell am I thinking? Order the prick a double. Just be sure to have them hold the Viagra.
Meldonna, that is hilarious. Every time I fly, I hear "This is your captain speaking from the flight deck" and now I'm not going to be able to contain myself.
Eww, the thought of Rush naked is enough to put me off my supper.
This would inevitably lead to routine body cavity searches and airline tickets would go up due to the expense of the rubber gloves.
Here's my solution: Flood the passenger compartment with sleeping gas so that all passengers are unconscious during flights. This would virtually ELIMINATE the threat of airline terrorism AND save on the cost of food and beverages.
OMG Mel and Diva you are killing me....
Gugon: wow...a whole new idea...
Gugon, then it would be like a trip to the dentist? It does sound nice to just sleep & wake up refreshed at your destination. D.K.
UPdate: August 16th, Wed.noon
Today a plane was diverted from Britian to Boston ( was DC bound), because a woman was "unruly".She is 60 and susposedly had a panic attack...she will still be "held" and or arrested.
She probally was suffering lack of water, food,phone, makeup, toiletries,and even the comfort of goodies in a carry on bag....we'll see what the spin is on this later today.
