Man at Airport Forgets ID, Hops on Luggage Belt
TEXT SIZE:
AAA
When a Columbia University researcher was denied screening to board his flight at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York for having no photo ID, he jumped onto a moving luggage belt.
Edward Hall III, 24, was trying to make a United Airlines flight to San Francisco earlier this week, when a TSA agent refused to screen him, police said, reports the New York Post.
"Can you put me in a suitcase and send me down the baggage belt?" Hall asked the ticket agent, who obviously refused.
"I just wanted to make my flight," Hall said to the police, who arrested him for trespassing about 20 minutes later near the tarmac, reports the paper.
Ironically, in an online profile Hall said he researches "human impatience."

And that guy does research for Columbia? Some valid date from him any time soon, if not before. And the brains in charge took only 20 minutes to find him. Some typical gov'mint employee efficiency. Signal the incident. Assess the exactitude of the assertion. Verify that there is actually a guy on the belt and that it is him, the same guy... Alert! Fill papers to get permit to apply for authorization to move against the possible alleged suspect... Etc... The guy had the time to blow up a dozen airliners!

Again, liberals have rules for other people but liberals always see themselves as the justified exception to any rule.
What on earth (WTF actually) are you trying to say isoopto? Are you disconnected from reality?

This topic has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with politics. So take your idiotic, completely off-topic, ranting b.s. and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Idiot.
