Conservative Talk: The Weekly Worldview-Keep Your Powder Dry — 3 Comments

  1. Doug, regarding the story about snow globes being confiscated by security at airports I have a first hand experience related to that. I worked for airfield maintenance at the Anchorage International Airport when 9-11 happened and the subsequent establishment of the TSA and all the new security procedures, rules, personal body checks and confiscation of personal property. One time, and one time only, someone from Airport Security brought us the “spoils” of the war on the American citizens (err, I mean the war on terror). There were hundreds of Bic lighters, several dozen bottles of booze, a few bottles of lotion and other various cream rinses and so on, and a few cheep knives. Everybody on my work shift took home a pretty fair haul of goodies. This, as I said, happened only one time and it became obvious that the TSA figured out pretty quickly that they could keep the bounty of what they had looted from the unsuspecting air travelers for themselves. I also found out later that, while we were offered several cheep knives, Airport Security kept some very nice and expensive knives for themselves including several Ulu knives. Ulu knives are a Alaskan Native invention made for skinning and many that were confiscated by Security had expensive ivory handles. There were also a few other regular knives in that first haul with Alaskan Native carved ivory handles. I’m sure some are worth three to $400 or more.

    Bob Enyart has pointed out that security for whatever business you can mention should be conducted and paid for by that business. Airlines should be responsible for the security of their planes. Wouldn’t you think that if this was the case with airport security that the airline companies would be much more respectful of their customer’s property and offer to transport, mail or otherwise find a way to get a person’s property back to them? When the Federal government takes your property there’s nothing the average citizen can do about it.

  2. Hey Doug, my mom was born in Hazard, Kentucky! I was shocked and disgusted by the story about the 2 homosexuals at the swimming pool! Gross!!

  3. Looks like the biggest hazard in Kentucky is telling a homo he’s grossing you out at the pool! I’m taking the weekend off, but I’ll be back next week!
