Dari, ATOT...ATOT, Dari.

To answer your question:

As long as he's not on a terrorist watch list he'll probably be able to get on the flight fine.

SOURCE: I had a dream once where I was a lawyer.

Let us know how it goes.

I had a dream once where I was a mechanical god traveling through the universe. It was a very vivid dream resulting from a fever.

I still miss it sometimes.

The Bernoulli Principle will still work even if your friend is wanted by the police. He should be fine.

He should just call the police himself and ask if they're looking for him.

A friend is about to take a flight but he may be wanted by the police for a serious crime (depending on if it was reported). Is it possible for him to fly or will he be met at the airport by New York's Finest?

Just so you know, whenever somebody says something about 'a friend' in a forum, I automatically assume they are talking about themselves, and making a crappy attempt at assuming 'no one will ever know.'

This.

Honestly if I had committed a crime I'd just go turn myself in and ask to make the process as fast as possible so I can move on. They will eventually catch you. Running away only prolongs the pain.

Dari, I don't really understand how this kind of drama happens to you.

It doesn't. He apparently likes attention, and I suppose this is the most pathetic way that his brain is capable of creating it.

Murder, armed robbery, kidnapping, illegally aborting an ex's pregnancy - I would not attempt to fly, most other things I doubt the cops put that much effort into.

I don't commit crimes, however; only knuckleheads are the ones that get caught on low-level shit.

Pull a kimble and get the whole world on your ass.

Not making this up. Also not sure who else is viewing this thread so I stopped divulging info. The other threads were not made up either. Lots of drama happens around me but not to me. But it's only a matter of time...

You are already a person of interest.

Ehh, I don't think he's that interesting.

Not really how planes fly, but this isn't the thread for it.

Really? I've always quietly wondered if the Bernoulli principal was over-credited for flight, and thought it had to do more with Newton's third law: wing is pitched upward, so air strikes it and is directed down, wing is pushed up.

If you read sailing books, when they explain how sailboats sail they actually say that's Bernoulli as well. Again, I think it's a bunch of shit. I think the air just hits the sail and is directed backwards, driving the boat forwards - Newton's third law.

Buy bus tickets with cash. That is the way to go.

You did stash cash in advance for your getaway right?

You can't take the bus if you're going to Venezuela.

EDIT: how much for that chemical formula you used?

Quite often you don't have to commit a crime to be wanted by the police. Perhaps an ex girl friend accused you of assault. Perhaps your ex-wife filed a motion that you kept the kids longer then you were supposed to and filed a contempt against you. There are lots of ways that someone could be wanted by the police without doing anything.

I've seen people travel to Mexico or even further south and then take a plane international to a non extradition country. There are lots of movies about this that can almost show you step by step how to do it. Obviously, I'm not advising you to do anything illegal and I'm just telling you about a movie I once saw. Don't forget to create new ID too, before you go to Mexico, Pedro.
