Al Gore bypasses airport security

This is funny. An airline employee escorted Al and his entourage around security screening. But it's ok, they took him back and made him walk through security.

Re: Al Gore bypasses airport security

Ha ha ha ha. Well, he is a civilian.
They made him go back and submit to security screening, Wa ha ha. I’d a strip searched his worthless ass…

Re: Al Gore bypasses airport security

He could have been planning to hold the flight hostage with a Granola bomb or some sharpened bean sprouts, then subjecting them to a three hour Global Warming lecture. Only then could the flight continue, after extracting a promise from each passenger to plant a tree as a carbon-emissions-offset.

Now that is my definition of true terror.

Re: Al Gore bypasses airport security

With the time wasted putting him through security, it's almost a sure thing that ManBearPig has escaped our grasp.

Re: Al Gore bypasses airport security

Wow good thing they screened Al Gore before he got on the plane. I feel so much safer.

He's a private citizen, why should he not be screened like everyone else?

More "do as I say, not as I do"?

Re: Al Gore bypasses airport security

My concern is that an airline employee would do this for a terrorist.

Why didn't they shut down the airport and search it? Can Al Gore be trusted more than anyone else? He was pretty bitter about loosing an election. That could be probable cause.

Re: Al Gore bypasses airport security

Gore's being made to go through screening makes me feel no more or less safe.

Silly question, IMHO.

He's a private citizen, just as you or I. Same rules apply.

Search what for what?

Probable cause for what?

You're post makes no sense. What the heck are you talking about?

And he didn't ask to avoid it and when they asked him to go through it he did it happily.

What exactly are you upset with him about?

Are you suggesting that airport screenings should be something other than completely random or mandatory? What makes Al Gore less of a risk than you or me? ANY answer to that question would involve the dreaded PROFILING!!!! Which we are supposed to believe is just plain wrong!
