Flight Shenanigans

[pablo]

Would you board a flight knowing it was delayed 3 or 4 times - like the one from London to Washington - as it was suspected of being used in a terror strike?

I really don't think I would...

Why didn't they just put all the passengers in shackles and be done with it ?

[happy joy joy]

2 be honest i prob would. just would be pissed that it was delayed

Betcha they'll cancel my flight to NYC in February. As it is, they'll take a picture of me, and have my fingerprints on file.

no they won't ireland is one of the countries thats been granted an exemption along with most of the eu

[Faith]

Oh really? I guess they don't think we have what it takes to be terrorists!

I probably would plan travel to america alright, but if the flight was constantly being delayed, while they checked the plane over a number of days , I might just cut my losses and forget about it.

Belly : Eventually we will have to have the right passports for going to the US, we were given an extension.

Here is an idea : How about bringing your own bomb on board ? The probability of having two seperate bombs on any one flight are surely minimal. ;)

I think in July or something. Maybe do a search on www.oasis.ie as they have all the official rules and regulations that citizens of ireland must abide by. I'm not what exactly will be stored on the passport, but i think it is an electronic photograph and possibly your fingerprints.

Its amazing that america can actually demand this, I suppose its their country hence their rules. But it means that hundreds of thousands of visitors must renew their passports before their due date, its a nice little earner for the passport offices.
