Yes - I had a similar experience with 'security checks' where access was easily gained with IDs with head and shoulders pictures of chimpanzees. If you are the 500th ID being checked on a busy night there may not be a lot of attention to 'detail'.

Let's face it, to security guys, passengers all look the same.

This is an oxymoron. Stay calm and move along, please.

* that very same terrorist organisation promised us a "summer of blood"
* we are all more than aware that "security" is largely illusory
* arming oneself in the US is laughably easy...

Yet ... the only bangs I heard on July 4th were from fireworks (thank God - and the DHS )

So, WHERE DID ALL THE TERRORISTS GO?
Well there seem to be plenty in France for a start...

Sounds crazy? It is.
OK, how late do you want to make it, Pal? I have all day.
