You're right, those comments from the customers are hilarious.

Top class thing; I am really amused to watch it!
What an Idea to construct this toy;
Amazing, no doubt this is a toy but children will learn many things from this, I am doing ccnp training, so later on I will discuss it more;

My 1st thought when I saw the image was "training the young". I looked on playmobil's site but the toy isn't to be found! (imagine that!?) But I did find this little thing on YouTube.

@jhonywillsh Mutallab purchased a one-way ticket with cash at the airport, had no luggage, attempted to board the airplane with out showing his passport and was supported in this attempt by some other individual. Full body scanners in US airports aren't going to do anything to stop this sh1t from happening in non-US airports.

Anyhow, being a good red-neck and having absolutely no physical resemblance to a 25year old Muslem and being an American veteran I'm 100% opposed to the crap we're being made to do in the name of safety! As my sainted great-grandmother used to say, "If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck then it just may be a duck!"

love the video expat! :lol: you are right, if other nations' airports let terrorists and bombs thru then all the equipment you can buy over here won't protect incoming flights from peril. no matter the amount of dilligence in security these people are determined and not every attempt will be thwarted. i don't know what the answer is, but giving up all our liberties is a start towards their goal of destroying our way of life.

Unfortunately, US airports are equally capable of security foul-ups (ABC News). It's a mistake to think of anywhere as "safe", it breeds a complacent attitude that leads to just this sort of failure.

security anywhere is only as good as the most inept of the low wage employees working there. as long as lazy people or people on a power trip are doing the security checks you will have problems. and you will always have people involved somewhere in the process. the whole thing is more a crap shoot than anything else.

All the more reason to quit pulling 85 year old little old ladies out of line to do a "random search" and focus on those that fit the (ugly word coming here - children are advised to avert their eyes) profile.

profiling has been made synonomous with racism by certain factions. it is a tool to be used to predict those most likely to commit criminal acts. like any tool it can be misused but they haven't outlawed hammers just because one was used in a homicide so it should be the same with profiling. not using a valuable tool for the safety of those who travel by air so as to be politically correct is an unfortunate choice at the least and criminally negligent at the worst(as in when people die because of it).

I fit the p-word back in 87, when I flew back to the States for my father-in-law's funeral. I showed up at Orly airport in Paris to fly Delta to Atlanta on a Sunday. My ticket was bought by someone else (my wife) in Atlanta on Saturday. Friday, I had slipped and fallen on some ice and beat up my left elbow, so my left arm was in a wrist-sling. Since we had only just moved to France, there was still all manner of stuff of ours at my MIL's house, so I had no suitcase. The only really positive thing going for me is that I was a US citizen by then. I got questioned and patted down after having gone through the other security, no big deal. Like I told them, I was glad to see they were being that careful.
