Airport security not aplicable to Paula Abdul.

[Us vs Them]

From a forum on celeb gossip:

This may or may not be related to another incident involving Paula that took
place earlier yesterday. As TMZ.com just reported, Paula in Las Vegas about to
return to LA, and she “was running late for the Southwest Airlines flight,
and it went from bad to worse when fans mobbed her as she tried to board the
jet.” Then, an “airport skycap breached security by escorting Abdul and a
companion to the plane, without going through security.”

Perhaps the biggest news here is that Paula flies Southwest, but as a result,
“all the passengers had to be ‘reverse screened’ when they arrived at
Burbank,” TMZ reports.



Reverse screened?! Does this make any fucking sense to anyone?

1. At some airports you can move all over and stay in a secured area.

Burbank may be like that. The Denver airport is that way.

2. Abdul and entourage skipped security entirely at Las Vegas

and was 'reverse screened' upon arrival Burbank. This is not normal procedure. I guess if you're a celebrity, the rules do not apply?

3. Makes sense to me.

Theoretically, she hands contraband to someone on the flight. After arriving at Burbank that person boards another different flight.

It may also be a way to make everyone sure that they Idolize Abdul and don't mind being inconvenienced by celebrities.

4. So it's okay for celebrities to bypass normal security measures?

Frankly, with a last name like Abdul, I'm surprised she's not already on the no-fly list.

6. Didn't say it was ok for celebrities.

But it makes sense to "reverse" screen passengers if only on the assumption they'll be boarding another flight without having to otherwise go through a security check.

As a cast member of a mind-numbing TV show, she's already a security risk, but that's another subject.

8. She's also a parasite on society. So are all the Idol "winners".
