What 'incidents' have you experienced in the name of Homeland Security?

[shance]

Bet you cant beat this one.

I was at a tennis tournament in Carson City at the new Walmart Stadium (literally its some new gargantuen Walmart something or other)and I went to the concession area to buy some bottled water.

So when I was buying the water, the guy told me he would have to take my cap off and throw it away. Not one to let this one go easy, I asked him why in the WORLD he needed my bottle cap??

You want to know the reason why he said the Walmart 'Society' refused to give me my bottlecap back?

Oh just take a guess........


Yep, thats right.....SECURITY REASONS!!

Well OF COURSE it was for security reasons, how could I have been so stupid?

Either they think I have one hell of an arm to beam that cap at some innocent old lady, or gosh, could it be they wanted me to actually BUY MORE WATER??

No, couldnt be, I mean after 9/11 WE ALL NEED TO BE SECURE FROM PLASTIC BOTTLE CAPS dont we?

This Security excuse is getting amazing mileage isnt it? And great profits too.....

I vowed to write a letter, but I have let my fellow DU'ers down on the job, and I didnt do it.*** I will find out how I can contact them Tuesday so I can clear my conscience of this asinine excuse for more profit.

Thats pretty hard to beat, but if you can I would love to hear it....!!

1. That sure is one of the best!

and just for fun, some of our finest first responders may get a charge out of ratcheting up their own personal Bakdraft-like 'THREAT ASSESSMENT." Sorry, it's only a joke, HA-HA, but I'm +10 years from telling that story, though God knows I regret my cowardice in not reporting the "incident." (Stymided by NON-DISCLOSURE and the need for $$).

2. When you won't take

the smart and effective security measures required, then you are reduced to taking stupid ones like this.

3. Six Flags Park searched my backpack for items deemed a threat

the contra band found, a peanut butter sandwich for my son .
The employee said "you can blame osama for that" I replied
"No I blame george bush and greedy republicans for disallowing
food to be brought in ."
