Is it me, or it silly to be intimidated by a 66 year old woman painting her nails? IHMO, this is paranoia to the nth degree.

If I am wrong and you can fit a WMD, IED, or ICBM in a nail polish bottle, please clue me in. This seems beyond silly to me.

polishing nails aboard airliners has been against
the rules long before 9/11..So any punishment is well
deserved

Authorities say she also kicked a Transportation Security Administration agent while she was being arrested.


Things that make you go hmmm...

uppity woman indeed.

illegal? Please, clue me in to the reason for that ban.

I don't know why anyone would defend such boorish conduct.

on our nails, but not while we are on planes. It's boorish to do it then?

ventilated bedroom, but in a closed cabin with recirculating air ... that's different.

finger cancer normally? This is the Lounge, you know. }(

But acetone in such an environment is a lung irritant and such insults accumulate.

:evilgrin:

The sulphur would actually do you good ... if you could stand it.

But in the spirit of your post ... hardy, har, har.

and I keep sneezing today for some reason. I ate a boiled egg sandwich earlier. What is the longest flight I could jump on very quickly?

:bounce: :bounce: Come on, laugh out loud or something. What's it gonna take? *Tickle tickle tickle* :evilgrin:

:crazy:

I'm hardly ever serious in the Lounge. I even half joke in GD. I'm just lighthearted that way.

I never take myself *that* seriously ... but it's just the edumucator in me that can't help sharing this $$$ knowledge I obtained.

I tend to want to let people know what I know too. The more educated we all are, the bttter the decisions we can make in life. :pals:

other people can inhale them.

Ever? Just curious. I release some toxic fumes sometimes too. I'd bet you are seriously hoping I never fly. }(

I'd sic Rabrrrrrr on them! :o

Of course, I don't like it when people wear too much perfume/cologne either. I guess I am just headache prone. :shrug:

Death to her! x(

:rofl:

Who spiked the Kool Aid when nobody was looking. Come on, people. A 66 year old woman is a major threat to our security? This really IS paranoia. I just don't get it.

but I was just reacting to my OWN sense of having been in an enclosed area without choice in the matter, forced to smell other people's nail polish or other chemicals. :pals: It wasn't paranoia on my part but real serious annoyance.

All lighthearded, I assure you. Btw, when you see my other reply to you in this thread, it will become clearer. We agree. :pals:

:rofl:

A grasshopper got into my duct work right in my bathroom last night. My cats sat in a row looking and listening. After trying for a couple of hours to free the huge green hopper, I finally sat next to the cats and watched for a while too. I hope he finds his own way out, because I am at a loss and I ain't sticking my hands down there. He might not be the only creepy crawly in that dark cranny. Or is is a nook? :scared: Anyhow, I didn't sleep well last night and couldn't try long enough to make up for it, so I'm sorta giddy today.

How are you doing today?

What's not to understand? :shrug:


It's flammable, it stinks and unhealthy in closed quarters.


She's an idiot for not just doing what security asked of her.

say "Security" in big bold letters followed by the words "Now lay down and do whatever the nice security guard tells you?" }(

Saliva is a liquid. I can just see those super strong air machines blowing people's faces all over the place before they get on the plane. :rofl:

riiiihggggghhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttt :eyes:

This ain't GD, ya know. Where is your sense of humor? That's it. I'm tickling you. :evilgrin:

I'd recruit for a stealth attack. Trust me, we sixty somethings can be just as angry and nutsy as any kid and we know we haven't much left to lose.

:rofl:

Plus there would be the element of surprise. My aunt is the same way. I remember once when she was pissed off about something and the guy walked away. She had just been diagnosed with the ms and had to drag her left leg to walk. At that time she could walk though. She was doubly pissed that the guy walked away. I can't remember what he had said that pissed her off, but she pursued him through the grocery store. She dragged her leg as she pursued him. He finally realized he wasn't getting by with it and waited while she stopped and leaned on a shelf while pointing her cane at him, all the while giving him what for. I know exactly what you mean, but not many people know about the spunk older people can have. I love it.

What if there were turbulence? She might spill nail polish on my bomb.

:spray:

They shouldn't have arrested her then. :evilgrin:

:rofl:

to match her hair colour.




:hide:

:hi:

:popcorn:

little old ladies with blue hair. You must be a teenager to stereotype people.

and the picture of Mrs Slocombe wasn't enough for you to figure out it was a joke? :eyes:

while in flight is a new massive Al Qaeda plot to make sure no nude nails are flying around nilly-willy in the airways, enticing men to do unspeakable things to those hands that harbor them. :evilgrin:

Nude nails...I like the way you think. :evilgrin:

liner is not permission to treat the plane as an extension of your rec room. What the attendants say goes, period, end of argument. It's not just for terrorism, it's for basic safety. Anything less is akin to ignoring the cop's instructions after you're pulled over. Keep your hands on the wheel and in plain site until told otherwise. Too many people treat attendants as some kind of lower class servant. Most of the time they're doing a pretty menial job, but they save lives when the shit hits the fan.

oh my god what i look like on a sunday after a saturday night....
