Stripper Scanners at Airports.

I recently flew from Denver to Lynchburg and was chosen by TSA to experience the naked person scanner. Out of curiosity I went ahead and went into the machine. They had me take everything out of my pockets and hold it in my hands over my head. Then they yelled at me because my feet weren't in the little feet pictures on the floor.. The machine swirled around me and they told me to step out and stand on some more stupid looking feet things on the floor. They then stared out into space, not a word to me about what was going on, and then asked if I had something in my pocket. I checked and did not. He said there was a piece of paper in there...why would a piece of paper be a concern anyway...I thought they were looking for guns and explosives! So then he felt me up in my groin and on my leg. After he was satisfied there was nothing in my pocket, duh, he let me go. What a waste of the taxpayers money.

I heard that the guy who sells this salted gold mine of a security device used to run some government agency and has friends in high places. Good work if you can get it, i.e. selling unnecessary and nonworking very expensive machines that annoy the flying public!

My wife doesn't want to fly anywhere that uses the machine so we will definitely be reducing our flying by at least 1/2. I'm not sure I want to go through that again myself.

Everyone should write their congressperson and senators to get rid of this crap!

Side by Side Drivers from Daleville to Fincastle.

So it appears that the driving infection of the metropolitan areas of Virginia has spread to Botetourt County. We had the unfortunate experience of returning from the new Harry Potter movie at around 6 pm tonight. When we got off the interstate at exit 150, traffic was pretty heavy. Even on 81 it was a little thick. The usual offenders were in the left lane, but we made it in pretty good time. The ride from I81 to Rt. 779 was the usual cluster f**k of idiots in both lanes. When we got to the stoplight, the left turn lane was green. This effectively ruined the usual strategy of letting the turning traffic scrape off the slowpokes in the left lane. So here we go from Daleville to Fincastle, 8 miles of slowpoke hell. I was able to work my way up to the idiot in the old pickup that was driving next to the same car in the left lane for 8 miles with about 100 cars behind him and tried to work past him but he won the asshole of the day award! I...

Signs that say that you can't use your cellphone.

Some fast food drive thru's have signs that say you can't use your cellphone while in the line. Then you get up to the window and they are either on the cell phone or talking on the head set. That's a double standard I refuse to accept! The latest one was a car wash on Rt. 460 in Roanoke County near Botetourt County. The sign said to refrain from cell phone use for the safety of the workers in the automatic car wash. Here's what I could see from my car. And this in another part of the car wash. So if they were depending on my observation and reactions due to my non use of the cellphone, they are going to be dead! In Maryland you must use a hands free device if you are on the phone. As I look around me, no one appears to be acting any differently. Actually, before the ban, I would hold my phone up by the windshield so I could also see the road as I was texting or emailing. Now I hold my phone down by the seat so I don't get a ti...

Butt headed people who make everything political!

Both sides do it. Conservatives and liberals like to jump to conclusions that they think makes some stupid point of their political agenda. Today lots of crass liberals are basically saying that Sarah Palin killed the congresswoman in Arizona because there's a web site with the congresswoman's head in gun sites. These are the same liberals who laughed at this: Or this: These are ok but Palin's cause deaths! Somehow they missed the report that the shooter's my space page states that he was a big fan of the communist manifesto which would align him more with Obama than Palin.

Shit that Pisses Me Off
