9. Convicts don't pay for extra heavy baggage

4. Well, both are patted down by the government and

deprived of their privacy. At least once the convict is behind bars, he or she is fed. That's more than can be said of airline passengers these days.

Prison and Airports - 2 places to avoid.

[Selatius]

15. One pays money to get violated. The other gets violated, for free. nt

[Nay]

16. Passengers have to pay for the privilege of being abused.

[ixion]

17. convicts have more rights

they get to have a lawyer present.

[REP]

22. ^Winner^

[stray cat]

19. Go to the prison and hang out in a cell and see for yourself

[Cronus Protagonist]

20. No problem - do you want cryStal meth or heroin?

We can call my dealer and get all you want. 20 smokes a hit.

21. As far as I know,

TSA can't do finger waves yet. And passengers aren't told to bend over and spread 'em ... yet.
