Ok, so I am flying from Detroit to Boston last night. Going out of Metro's new World Gateway, the newest airport in the country. They have like 10 metal detectors for faster screening. I get there, and there is like a line of 150 people waiting. And only 3 detectors are open. THREE. That doesn't upset me, because I was flying first class, and they have a special security line for first class passengers.
So I pass the line of cattle by and step up to the metal detector. They have stopped the line, because they have 4 people lined up in the strip search cattle chute waiting for the Argenidiot to wand them. They were 2 old ladies like 80 years old, one young mother and a guy. So they make the WHOLE line wait while they strip these people.
Then we proceed through, and they are taking the laptop computer that have gone through the belt and setting them on top of the scanner machine. That's fine, but the guy in front of me had the exact same Dell I8000 as me. Since we stood there waiting for Jesus to come back while they stripped those people, the computer got jumbled around and we had confusion as to who's was who's.
THEN we get to the gate, and the RANDOM strip search commences there. ALERT: It is NOT random. I fly average of twice a week. 95% of the time, THE FIRST GUY IN LINE gets RANDOMLY searched. If you value your privacy, for god's sake, let some other poor sap jump to the front of the line, or you will be heading for the little table.
**sub-RANT**
So I get on the plane, and the guy next to me is sitting there EATING LETTUCE out of a little bag. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP. CHEW CUD CHEW CUD CHEW CUD. Reach into bag for more lettuce. Lather, rinse, and repeat. THEN he takes off his shoes and crosses his legs, protruding his beautiful semi-white socks into my area. THEN he gets out his Bible and reads a little, then turns the light off for 2 minutes, then turns the light on and reads a little more, then turns it off, lather, rinse, and repeat.... THEN I get out my laptop and start to fill out a report for work. No sooner than I get everything setup on the tray, and he is taking off his seatbelt and wants to go take a dump. He couldn't have done it 1 minute earlier when he saw me getting ready to work on the computer. No, that would be too easy.
Oh well.
**Rant off**
Oh wait. Did I mention the roads in Boston, how you CAN'T DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE ANYWHERE!!!! This city is the most screwed up city I have ever driven in! HOW MUCH CONSTRUCTION CAN YOU DO AT ONCE?!?!?!! Maybe they should fix one thing at a time, instead of destroying every road at the same time!!!
That's all, thanks for listening.
