@#&%*@( MBTA wankers and bag checks

[juldea]

Now the MBTA is going to institute "random" bag checks. This is getting even more media/actual quotes from MBTA officials than the ID checks, so I'm guessing it's really going to happen. *expletive*

Anyone who doesn't ride the T regularly and wants to donate sex toys or porn for me to carry around in my backpack daily, JUST IN CASE, let me know. Especially if you have something... unusual.

That is, until I figure out some other way to get to work, or get another job that doesn't require MBTA transit, or they quit doing this, or something.

I'm curious, since they're looking for explosives, what will they do if they find the knife that I sometimes carry in my bag? See, a BIG old can of worms here, this is.

What will they think of my knitting needles? :P

Why not just carry this (http://www.securityedition.com/)? Might get the message across. Highlighting #4 in red crayon is optional.

I did mention that elsewhere in this thread (http://www.livejournal.com/users/juldea/545016.html?thread=2433528#t2433528). :)

LJ was so slow that I submitted the *wrong* comment text for this comment...too many tabs open.

galaneia just had hers confiscated at the airport. We are *NOT* amused.

her knitting needles or her security edition bill of rights?

[metahacker.livejournal.com]

Her needles, with knitting attached. After already going through security -- this was at the gate in Glasgow. Along with her favorite fountain pen. Because obviously she is going to high-jack an airliner with a fountain pen. (says security drone: "But it's *sharp*!!!")

No, she still hasn't gotten them back yet.

Man.

I am not amused either.
