We had the same experience flying Virgin Atlantic. Everyone was fantastic.

What country doesn't want to include "people" that have no intrinsic morality and are not motivated by their connections to other people and society but to their own self interests and those of their stockholders. Why shouldn't these "people" have the same rights as ordinary citizens and be able to spend unlimited money to influence our political system. I mean really, what could go wrong?

Of course, it never occurred to United and the old asshole that maybe he could have stood up and let the young lady get out of her seat without having to climb over him. Sort of like a gentleman would do without thinking about it. On the last article about Rev. Barber, he does have a weight problem but the main reason for needing two seats is that he has a chronic, severe disease affecting his spine and hips that makes it difficult for him to bend, walk, or stand for long periods of time. It is also hard to sit in one position for very long or to twist at his neck or waist, therefore he did need room to move around in his seat. Besides, if someone skinny as a rail paid for two seats just so they would not have some obnoxious idiot sitting beside them, it's their right and their money.

But they usually fly untied. Unless they're about to be sacrificed to a volcano god.

“We wanted Searcy because overnight she became a viral meme,” XHamster spokesman Mike Kulich told The Huffington Post. “I think a lot of XHamster viewers really wanted to see her in action.”I'm never visiting Xhamster again!

Oh Dog, listening to that crap would give me the shits. I'm not sure I'd be able to resist heckling her.

No, it wasn't. I'm with Kareema. Telling your story doesn't detract any more than anything anyone else has said here. I mean, it's not like you were talking about assless chaps. Not that there's anything WRONG with assless chaps...

I get hassled a lot. It's not like I look suspicious, I have a high tech titanium wheelchair, and wear a coat and tie (old fashioned). But TSA just loves to give me crap. I am always polite and am well spoken. I'm really quite befuddled. I don't fly as much as I used to because of the BS. Strange.

I had the full boat, pulled aside into a private room, full pat down everywhere twice, wiped down with two different types of sensors. Completely dump out and search of everything I am carrying. Searched through by two different people. It was very odd. The weird thing is I had my iPad with me and I thought for sure they would look to see if it worked or if it was a fake full of nefarious things. They just picked it up and said OK and never checked.
