The guy should have said it was a picture of an Australian replica gun.
The entire world has turned into ninny little titty babies.
GAK.
Next it will be names.
Flight Attendant: “ Mr. Bond, here’s you’re martini.........shake it, stir it, whatever.
The rest of the male passengers, hang on to you’re women!”
I’m at “that point”. Really, if I ever need to fly again, I’ll be ready to flush the whole damned trip and demand a 100% refund from the airline if anything gets to a point of complete and utter stupidity like this.
“You’re seriously saying I can’t bring a fictional novel, because a picture of a firearm on the cover constitutes some kind of threat? That’s really what you’re saying?”
‘Yes.’
“One of you is accompanying me to the ticket counter. Now.”
‘Why?’
“Because you’re going to explain this to the ticketing agent, and I’m going to ask for a full refund for my tickets and I’ll do something else. You don’t deserve my business, or my money.”
Can anyone explain to me HOW people have gotten this stupid?
CMBLAKE6 asks a very good question and the answer is,
It took a lot of hard thinking and hard work and much practise to get it right.
One must qualify to exacting standards in dumb school where upon graduation the subject majors at a famous school in Egypt named after a former king and called Faruk U.
If the subject does well there, they are then allowed to go on to the second level at the college called, Faruk U-2. After that they then become bureaucrats and minor functionaries in various positions where they are called upon to deal with the public.
They also quite often hold positions of authority. They generally live to old age by causing ulcers in others but avoid somehow any stress to themselves. They also get dumber with age.
This is why I won’t fly anymore, and haven’t for several years.
I love the fact that they have such a low view of other peoples tolerance, that they freak over the cover of a book. Do they really think anyone but themselves is going to give a flip about a book?
I believe finding two people in the same zip code that freak out over a picture of something is nearly impossible.
“OH, SOMEONE MIGHT BE OFFENDED OR UPSET OR SOMETHING!!!”
Idiots.....
