If I have a note from my doctor, and if I strip down completely nude before I do it .....

[Stinky The Clown]

..... can I go to the can less than an hour before landing?

Or should I just sit there and mess my pantz and their seats?

Maybe we can put saloon doors or airplane cans so we can watch you while not actually seeing your weewee/poopoo partz?

They guy who put Richard Reed up to it must still be laughing his ass off at our response.

1. Senator Vitter will have no problem with the new ruling. nt

[Hekate]

5. He'd probably want the stewardess to spank him, though.

:eyes:

14. If the flight attendant is smart it will not be with their hand.

And the flight attendant volunteers preferably a male to use a hard inanimate object.

[Hekate]

2. Duct tape & plastic sheeting. No wait, that was for biological warfare. Which I guess this would be

Stinky, I'm so confused.

3. I'm thinking the airlines should provide "flight uniforms"

Kind of like the paper gowns you get at the doctor's office.

You arrive at the airport, disrobe completely, dress in the "flight uniform," and then board the aircraft. Your clothes are put in a special pouch and loaded into the cargo bay.

At the end of the flight, you get your clothes back after you disembark.

The other silver lining (besides security) is an easing on restrictions toward Mile High Club applications.

:spray:

[BlueCollar]

38. why put that on the airlines?

It's a TSA regulation...

[timeforpeace]

4. Dude put it together in the head. Should there be no response to protect passengers?

[Stinky The Clown]

22. Dude .....

BOO!

[seabeyond]

27. QUIT FLYING. that is the only ultimate protection you will have that nothing will happen to you

on an airplane

[MercutioATC]

28. So how does the new rule address the issue?

What prevents a terrorist from going to the bathroom 65 minutes before the plane lands?

Isn't the real issue letting people who are carrying explosives onto airplanes?

[Pavulon]

6. I flew saturday. No change in security process. NONE (nt)

[frazzled]

7. Jeebus, people seem more concerned about their bladders on hypothetical flights

than they are about the 30 million people who are waiting to get their subsidies so they can buy health insurance.

Honestly, are you planning to fly from abroad to the U.S. in the next few weeks or months? If not, I'd not spend a lot of time worrying about it. Your bladder might explode from faux outrage.

[valerief]

8. You know, I don't know why they can't turn the seats into potties. Just

lift the lid and voila! A shitcan.

[varelse]

19. someone would figure out how to stow a bomb in one of those.

imagine the mess that would make :(

[valerief]

20. Well, there'd be a mess in them anyway. nt

[BlueCollar]

39. as a mechanic

I can think of several reasons...LOL

[babylonsister]

9. Stinky doesn't like to fly iirc. I don't know what the answer is,

but did this guy come pretty close to blowing a plane out of the sky or didn't he? I think technology thwarted him, not his will. Had he, would you be so cavalier about it? There will be others. And I don't know the answer.

I love going places, but if I need to stay in a seat for an hour, I can plan accordingly.

[SoCalNative]

17. " I love going places, but if I need to stay in a seat for an hour, I can plan accordingly."

Not always possible. Some of us have more delicate digestive systems and never know when it will mutiny on us.

[babylonsister]

18. Ha! You're right.

I've also been there/done that. Got a bad 2-week case of bali belly, was sick on a plane for 12 hours. Both ends. x(

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Stinky doesn't mind flying. Stinky finds the overreaction to 9/11 .... well ..... overreaction

It was the ultimate "keep 'em scared shitless" mind fuck from the bushies.

It has made the flying public members of the Nation Of Suspects.

[babylonsister]

23. But this prez didn't overreact. Isn't that worth noting also?

http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/12/why_obamas_golfing.php

Though I wish it was basketball, swimming, bowling, anything but golf! :crazy:

[Stinky The Clown]

26. Jeeeze .... not everything is about "this president"

This is about the overreactive people at TSA.

Barn doors and horses and leaving and all that kinda shit is what its about.

That and them sniffing our crotches.

[babylonsister]

29. It is now all about the President. He sets the agenda, and changes the

rules. Every president does. Do you think DHS is doing this on their own? They have their marching orders from somewhere.

So, do nothing, or do something. Not my call, and I hate all this security crap. But the toothpaste is out of the tube, we will always be faced with this.

[Stinky The Clown]

31. Yes, I do think this started with DHS

[Stinky The Clown]

30. I'll tell ya few things worth noting ...... one in this thread by ,..... uh ... who was it ......?

Oh yeah...... babylonsister. Real food for thought about the odds of this being so widespread that we all have to pee our pantz (literally) about it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7336767

And as to Obama, here's what someone said good about him not making *any* statements about this incident. Lemme see ... which poster was this ....... ?

36. Don't forget golf!

[Stinky The Clown]

41. Honestly ......

..... I'm missing your point.

Not arguing. I just don't get your point.

[malaise]

40. +1

And the new year greeting is remain afraid.

[Thickasabrick]

10. I always get in trouble for standing up and waiting for the people

to get out. The attendants tell me not to block the aisle but if you don't get in line, you never get an opportunity. Sometimes there are so many people waiting, that the last ones in line have to sit back down because we are landing.

I just don't drink anything anymore an hour before my flight or during. I hate those bathrooms anyway.

I think things will calm down and they will relax this stupid rule.

Although, I really wish people would not go in there and stay in there for like 10 minutes either.

Thanks for giving me an opp to rant about all the crap I hate about airline bathrooms.

[Atticus]

11. How about complimentary "Delta Depends"? nt

[CLANG]

12. If they do that to me, I won't piss in my pants

I'll pull it out (discreetly of course) and pee on the fucking floor! If everyone would do this the policy will be gone in a week.

[jmm]

13. More likely they'd give tasers to flight attendants if people started to do that. (n/t)

[LiberalFighter]

15. That would work if they only have to deal with one passenger.

But if more passengers become unruly it will be easy to disarm the flight attendant.

16. Foster Brooks on Airline Safety

[madrchsod]

25. foster would`t be pc today...

and this clip shows what a great comedian dean was. it would`t have worked without dean.

[valerief]

32. Agreed. Dean was a great 'straight man' for Brooks. nt

[pipoman]

33. While not a frequent flyer,

I have probably flown 50 times in the last 10 years and have been lucky enough to have never used the facilities on a plane..something about it grosses me out a bit.:hurts:

[JCMach1]

34. My average flight is about 10hr... that's just not possible for many of us.

[pipoman]

35. Agreed

my flights are usually no more than 4 hours, only once internationally (there is advantage to living in the exact center of the US). It isn't that I wouldn't use the heads if I really had to.

[JCMach1]

37. I am seriously considering just carrying an extra gallon ziplock...

Eeeew..., but hey I still have bladder problems from kidney stone stinting.
