And I would be more than glad for the detention if it means I will have a safe
trip. The moron who's running this nation, who said the war was over, a month
ago, who just today said we are still at war (switch and change around reasons a
few times to the tenth power) has also become adept at taunting the maniacs who
will do suicide, murders. His latest idiotic statement, "Bring it on..." has
got to be one of the more idiotic of his many other idiotic statements.

No applause please.

Howdy folks,
Saw an interesting clip on one of the local news shows. Turns out
the detection systems used at the airport are sensitive enough to
sniff out traces of nitrate fertilizers commonly used on lawns and in
gardens.
You are being advised if you have been around fertilizers to
shower and wear fresh clothes vefore flying. ( I wonder what is the
percentage of travelers who get up the morning of their flight, grab
something out of the dirty laundry bin and blow off a shower )
Travelers who golf are signaling false positives on the chem
detection machines because their golf clubs have picked up nitrates
from the fertilizers on the golf courses. Of course, any false
positive at the airport can mean a long delay while they check you
out.

Take care,
