Ok, Stein, you now have all of the elements you need to write a Broadway musical. I offer my services as choreographer.

Can't believe the let him board that way, but he sure looks like he was hoping to make a scene during the grope-down. What a sight that would of been.

I don't think we should get too worked up over this one. After all, he might have had a connection into Aéroport de Nice.

Wow--and yikes. I remember a protest by a group of women who went to airport security wearing bikinis. The photo of that was *much* easier on the eyes.

"Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

The madness which is now airport security is why I drove 1700 miles (round trip) to my high school reunion last fall instead of flying; and thought of all the 'busy and important people' and their stressful lifestyle while meandering along the delightful backroads and 'blue highways' of what is left of the real America.

If everyone would fly only when there was absolutely no alternative, the airlines would suffer financially enough to demand that we bring an end to the worst of this 'security' nonsense.

Sweet bezeezus! If he had been seated next to me, I'd demanded my fare back. Yuck!

Safety word: 'That's hot.' Er, no. No it's not.

I've been saying for years we need to severely regulate airlines again to get ticket prices back up high enough to get people like this back on the Greyhound buses where they belong.

Captcha: drag race.

Seriously, is Goldberg in charge of these things or what?
