Cigarette lighters to be allowed on planes again!

Anyone ever heard of a match head bomb? Yeah. Can't do that with a lighter.

I still want someone to explain to me why, pre 9-11, I didn't have to take out my laptop and now I do. Were the x-ray machines not able to see through the bag back then?
 
You know what really gets me and maybe someone already posted this. Didnt they make this rule after the whole Richard Reed shoe bomb thing? Okay now he was caught because a FA saw him trying to light his shoe with MATCHES. Thats right matches not a lighter. However we were still allowed to bring on matches? :crazy::crazy:
 
Allowing a Muslim on a plane is the same thing as allowing a cigarette lighter. They are both dangerous and smell bad.

I kid...

How about this one? The other day at Wal-Mart, I paid for something with a $2 bill. The cashier said, "I can't take that." I asked why not. She said, "I've never seen one of those before. It could be fake."

After I paid with some other bills, she asked a manager, "hey, do we take $2 bills?" The manager answered (with a puzzled look on his face), "Of course... why wouldn't we?"

Now that is a good one. The trifecta would be to ask if she has ever heard of the TV show - Fantasy Island, or CHiPS....highly doubtful...and the moment you realize that you are no longer considered young. Good thing you didn't try to slip here the Hillary $3 bill. :)

That's REALLY FUNNY!!!
















Ok, so it's not all that funny, but man...Bigey, you really need to lighten up. You're gonna give yourself an MI before you're 30 if you continue with this ridiculous anger you're hanging on to. ;) You get your panties in a bunch every time someone says something about Muslims (and correct me if I'm wrong....but you're not even Muslim, right?). Perhaps you should channel that anger and do something positive for your country like becoming a spy for the CIA, infiltrate some fundamentalist organization and assist in bringing them down.

Panties in a bunch? Dont know about that one.

I don't have anger from something ONLINE. That is not a joke, and with so much hostility towards middle east right now with the general public, all these statements are going to do is promote the garbage that's going on with the general though.

Comon bro, something positive with the CIA? I'm talking about stopping some non-needed hate words and/or statements. It's very offensive. It's like telling MLK to go join the CIA and take down the KKK instead of just trying to stop a problem with just spreading KNOWLEDGE around.

And for me not to be a Muslim, it should be a prime example. Treat people fairly, and don't discriminate. A 'joke' like that is a statement with some pun 'not intended' crap.

No one would like it if i was to make a joke with such an iffy situation, ESPECIALLY concerning airplanes since there is so much crap going on with misconception, profiling, and the like right now with MIDDLE EASTERNS (Hence, not all muslims) and the airport.

It is a joke in bad taste, and i for one will not just turn the cheek and pretend it's funny, when all it is, is a discriminatory remark.

We are lucky they did not ban shoes!!!
 
Biggie, you need to chill. Stop getting all upset over something that some clearly labels a joke.

Get over it. If you can't, nobody's forcing you to read the post.

Did you hear that someone actually did create and use a Bill Clinton $3 bill? Clerk took it, and manager called the cops when he saw. Turned out they couldn't even get the guy for counterfeiting because it's only counterfeiting if you create a fake version of real money. This wasn't a denomination in use, and it didn't resemble a real bill. Pretty funny....
