I can't believe I'm agreeing with Chucky Schumer on something, but whomever in the TSA made the decision to allow pocket knives on board should be fired pronto. Then fire his or her boss, and so on. Oh yeah, where is LESS THAN ZERO on this one? By the way, Chuckie, you can always write legislation to overturn the TSA's decision. That IS one of the perks of your job. In addition to making speeches and standing behind Reid, you get to introduce bills in the Senate.

    There's a t-shirt on snorgtees.com that says: "I got to second base with a TSA agent." lol. I think if you know you're going on a trip, one should wear that shirt.

    It's all in the small print. This initiative was intended as a below the radar effort to grow the Swiss economy - part of the Administrations effort to undermine ours. Anyway, the rollout was to have the TSA purchase a huge amount of Wenger or Victorinox Classic Army utility knives, limit their sale to airport gift shops, and of course, require all passengers to buy one or be denied boarding. Profits would go towards a new TSA mohair uniform initiative and to underwrite the production costs and distribution of Swiss manufactured SIG assault weapons to all Swiss citizens, thereby supporting another Administration goal of arming the rest of the world, while disarming America. Really; any stupider than Solyndra?

    Nope. Just a milestone. (That's why they call it that). I don't believe the points LS has implies anything other than being involved and knowledgeable. LS better not leave. Inclusion is really in the Producers Lounge. (My opinion) I'm not there. Not yet anyway. :)

    well, I see where you're headed with that, you are in favor of inclusion at the risk of offending potential or future participants. Is that correct?

    5,280 feet. How about going by meters (1600) or yards (1740?) I can't remember that one exactly. Then there would be more in the crowd, right?

    Okay.. I'm lost. This mile high thing. I KNOW what a mile high club is (I have a pilot friend), BUT.. maybe I'm over thinking it. My points are almost the same feet in a mile...am I way off base? Not sure how that equates to "points" and miles though..?? Okay...I gotta go get some work done...figure it out and let me know. :)

    OH! lol.... heat, you mean.. ha. We were talking about TSA so much I was thinking packing my bags and leaving with my new low point score.
    I wish I could always "pack", but I can't always...working on it though.

    LOL your gun! I hate it when people think I'm so clueless about weapons that I would never use the word "packing" to mean anything besides stuffing luggage. wait-maybe you guys don't use the word "packing" to mean carrying-

    It is glitchy. While I don't have the banner at the top of my screen, it shows "3 comments" for the Detroit post I put up earlier today, but when I click to view posts, there are 4 of them. ??

    Okay...let me clarify my response which came off as being rude... I was really saying it in a monotone oh-god-I-don't-want-to-talk-about-my-points-cuz-it-makes-me-look-like-I-don't-have-a-life. I'm a wee embarrassed and biding my time until someone (kh..cough) catches up to me! So, with that said....you had no way of knowing HOW I was saying it. Sorry. :) I'm a little touchy about my points. (And give kh a point for everything she says, even if it sucks (as if) so she can get ahead of me.)
