You quoted my message, but I don't think I suggested anything to the contrary. And I agree: The whole thing is stupid.

Fair enough. Ironically, I hate Latin and so never bothered to learn how to speak it.

Main Entry: 3sic
Pronunciation: 'sik, 'sEk
Function: adverb
Etymology: Latin, so, thus -- more at SO
: intentionally so written -- used after a printed word or passage to indicate that it is intended exactly as printed or to indicate that it exactly reproduces an original <said he seed [sic] it all>

Sorry to all for creeping the thread.

TSA is great a couple months ago I was flying out to go on a boat trip with my emergency gear. When I was packing I missed the flare gun and flares but, thats ok cause TSA missed it too. Nothing like letting a firearm on board even if it was accidental. Just makes your feel real nice and safe.

The fact the flare gun was orange probably threw them off.

This really chaps my hide - where were you when you got searched? At your Base? in a crew area/room? did you have an airport badge for that airport?
