"Wheelchair on plane bursts into flames
Battery fire causes near disaster on British holiday jet carrying 229 passengers"
I can't tell you how excited I was to read this one. It had all the makin's for a hearty chuckle or two and then...it turns out there was actually no one sitting in the God damned chair! I HATE these teaser headlines sometimes!!!!!

Rectal Probes On The Horizon...
"Fliers Complain About X-Rated Security Screenings: TSA Agents Forced Woman To Remove Nipple Rings, Pulled Pants Off Disabled Man"
This is totally what it's come to.
I can actually see both sides of the coin on this one but there is a key statement in this whole article:
"But experts have said it's important to use common sense when balancing security and customer service."
I recently flew to Florida on vacation and can appreciate the heightened security measures as they are in place to protect everyone on that plane as well as the people on the ground. But there was also some security people who acted like they were the fucking Gestapo. Was very disturbing.
As for making someone take out their nipple rings, that's just plain stupid. I hope that women sues the shit out of the airline and that specific idiot who made her use pliers to take them off.
And the guard who pulled down the old man's pants...If that was me I would have bitch slapped the asshole. Jail or no jail, you don't do that shit right out in the open. Take the guy to a room and then have him pull his pants down.
Where is the common sense in all of this?
