Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, and I'm sure there are others have all at one point or another spoken out about the US. Don't get me wrong I'm not pro screwing people's rights. But there is a constant threat and it is real. It's not JUST Arabs. There are many people I give a good look at. Ones that don't fit the traveling profile I've made for myself.

When I fly commercial - I look in the TSA agents face and tell them I'll take off my shoes - do whatever you want No problem - but if a middle eastern person comes in and does not have to do the same thing...... Which I have witnessed before....

They are going to have to call the cops to stop me from screaming....

When I see them basically strip search the elderly and let business men through without much... It drives me crazy.

I told one guy he was a slang term used for cat that starts with a P. That was a strange time - thought I might get in trouble - but he said nothing cause he knew what I meant...

Black and white men and women over 40 did not bring down those planes....

Everyone knows where I am going - It's like the story of the Emperor without clothes...

On the other hand I got felt up by a hot TSA agent once - she was not to happy after I suggested she should think about being a dancer

what scares me?

a high aspect BFM fight with a new rookie pilot up front that takes the jet into a 1 circle fight, but decides to go into the vertical, run out of airspeed and plant a boot full of rudder, cause the nose to swing through at an incredible rate to cause the, "yaw rate, yaw rate"......

i swear they are trying to kill me sometimes........

regarding "shaking parts" on the jet......looking back at the tail of an F-15 with the speedbrake out will make a believer out of you.....the two tails shake so much you think they are going to come off. Then when you get out of the jet, walk back to the tails and push on them...they wont budge...

yikes, THAT is a lot of force!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Tub Stackers of America make me nervous... something just ain't right when you trust your airline security to some pimply-faced high school dropout.

It just burns me when these retards grab my ID without asking, as I'm going through the metal detector, "for a closer look". I swear, someday they're going to have a closer look at my fist instead!

Then again, the world needs it's Barney Fifes I guess.

Trust no one. Every race is capable of committing inhumane acts. Although true, some races are more inclined to commit acts of terror. In the end, anyone could do it.

Default Flying was the easy part

The van service we used to have in NYC years ago. It was like a no-rules camel demolition derby -- the driver babbling into a microphone while boresighting potholes the size of the Beringer Meteor Crater. The vehicle shook and roared like a steam engine with square wheels, and the only springs it had were the ones poking you through the seat cushion. The front seat was the most terrifying, but the rear seat would over-G its victims. Finally, they would always double-park, so when you sprang with relief from the death-trap, you could be run over by a speeding bus.
