I bet you can't wait in line for the toilet either.
 
2004-01-08 12:19:56 AM
I'm sure the people sitting next to me wouldn't mind if I shat my pants.
 
2004-01-08 12:23:30 AM
Since the 11th I decided that I'm never going to go on a plane. Not because fears of terrorism or anything silly like that, but in response to this sort of redonkulous security issues. And especially the government involvement with the airlines.

TheOmni: I too have the same feeling.

I'm not afraid of flying nowadays....it's just become too big of a pain in the ass.
 
2004-01-08 12:28:56 AM
Sounds like they're just trying to piss people off now. "Don't blame us... blame the terrorists"
 
2004-01-08 12:47:10 AM
man i always have to pee!! i'm the one that jumps up as soon as the 'fasten seatbelt' sign is turned off and runs to pee.

Have fun on your next trip to Hawaii. Or Europe. Or... Or... Or...

In my line of work, I often have to fly. Get over it.
 
2004-01-08 01:05:21 AM
Yes, because I go to Hawaii so often. And why do I need to get over you flying? I don't follow. I said that I am not going on a plane. I don't like the way they do business, therefore I am not going to patronize their business. And that's all there is to it.
 
2004-01-08 01:28:13 AM
This news really has me down in the dumps...it's really crappy what they're doing to customers in the name of "security"...I'd be pissed off if I had to hold it in while some shiat-for-brains took his time in the can...

/I'll stop now

Cool, then there is one less dumb ass I will have to put up with when I fly.

Thanks!

This isn't anywhere near safe enough. People should be handcuffed to their seats. If they want to pee they can press the call button and an air marshall will escort them to the rest room.
 
2004-01-08 01:56:32 AM
I don't think Gigli was that bad. I saw it on a recent flight, and only two people walked out.
 
2004-01-08 03:07:20 AM
Someone should just invent a shiatter built right in to the passengers' chairs. Problem solved.
 
2004-01-08 03:39:36 AM
I wish they'd show Secretary on airline flights.
 
2004-01-08 04:23:37 AM
HYM Miss Jones:
Amen. That's a great movie to manipulate the stewardesses (if there are any hot ones left) into taking her home from the bar.

And TheOmni wins for helping popularize the term "redonkulous." It's one step above "santorum."
 
2004-01-08 04:35:48 AM
I win!

And Secretary is a great movie.
 
2004-01-08 05:10:22 AM
As soon as people just start peeing and pooping in the aisles, this restriction will go down the toilet. I shiat you not!
 
2004-01-08 05:51:26 AM
Heehee. I am the bane of flight atendents every where. I have bad knees and cant stand sittin' in those cramped ass seats for the 99 thousand hours it takes to get anywhere so I walk around. I pace the isles. I linger in any available open area. I do my best to be quiet and not interfere with servicies, but I'm up outta my seat for a good half the flight.

And yes i still do this even after 9/11 and the ensuing silliness on board planes.

Probably gonna get my butt shoot by an air marshal one of these days.
 
2004-01-08 06:17:15 AM
mizike I've seen some hotties lately, but then again if I probably gave them a good spank have an air warden taser me (rather than put on a saddle and keep a carrot in their mouthes... neeeeigh.)
 
2004-01-08 06:17:51 AM
They'd have an air warden.. taser... bzzzzzzzzzzt aaaaahhhh!
 
2004-01-08 07:27:57 AM
MasterFartKnocker That Gigli line made me spill my tea over my keyboard. And you are forgiven calling other farker a dumbass! :D
 
2004-01-08 07:30:48 AM
I'm just gonna save time by locking myself in the toilet for the duration of each flight...
 
2004-01-08 07:31:17 AM
Just waiting for them to start sedating people.
 
2004-01-08 07:31:35 AM
i saw a great sci-fi movie a couple of years ago, it took place in the year 2008, to ensure safety on flights every passenger was sedated during fligt..i think thats a great idea - it solves the toiletline thingee to.

damn, u beat me to it (=

2004-01-08 07:32:33 AM
Not that I've read the article or anything, but is this new? Domestic United/American flights have been bugging people about this for a while (don't know about other airlines...)
 
2004-01-08 07:34:46 AM
The obvious solution would be to change all airline seats into toilet seats...
 
2004-01-08 07:34:57 AM
Beat me to it.
My headline was 'TSA to ban congregation outside toilets on aircraft. In other news, George Michael to give up flying'

Oh, well. One day.....
 
2004-01-08 07:35:22 AM
The terrorists have won.
 
2004-01-08 07:36:33 AM
This has got to be the dumbest damn thing yet.

I can't wait until someone gets pissed off enough (no pun intended) to purposely wet themselves then raise a stink in the media about how they couldn't go to the toilet because of these rules.

I hate to say it, but you-know-who have already won. And they keep on winning. :(

This isn't really new. They've had the rule in effect since the beginning of last year, have they not? At least the beginning of June, when I made a flight to San Diego.
 
2004-01-08 07:37:56 AM
luckyeddie

Your headline would've been better, as the article contains this sentence:

"a spokesman for the TSA...told BBC News Online that passengers could still queue for the toilet"

Have You Met Miss Jones and mizike

You want hotness, fly Singapore Airlines.

Wow. Just wow.

Since they decided to fingerprint people, i've cancelled my world travel plans 4 months from now.

I have a right to privacy. fark you goverment.
 
2004-01-08 07:43:50 AM
I for one would like to protest this law, which will make it that much harder to join the mile high club in groups.
 
2004-01-08 07:46:15 AM
The rest of the world really needs to shout one collective 'Go fark yourself' to these utterly paranoid security demands emenating from the USA.

Its gone from being a pretty cool country to a completely paranoid, christian fundamentalist controlled, orwellian state in the last 3-4 years.

Paranoia will destroy ya... (Ray Davies)

Chalk up another for the terrorists, who must be peeing their pants with laughter over this one..

It's being noticed atm because the US is demanding all sorts of things on overseas carriers.

Here in Australia, we were demanded to follow this rule last night...

Now almost the entire country of Australia is laughing at the US :)

Does it count as being part of the Mile High Club if you just jack off on a plane?

Only if you're seen.

That's the stupidest farking thing I've ever heard. Get over it-christ get out more. "I'm not getting on a plane cos our government sucks"!! Sheesh Cleetus!!

I fly Quantas a few times a year to go from LA to New Zealand. What exactly is the TSA afraid is going to happen while we all wait to crap ourselves? The thing is Quantas has individual movie screens in the seats of their 747's, and most of the movies seem to end at the same time, so naturally there is a queue (line for us Americans) to take a dump. I'm personally not concerned that Muhammed is going to be up to no good while the pissing masses are waiting to go. If we're all cleared at the security checkpoints, what could go wrong?
 
2004-01-08 08:10:33 AM
I never flew until a few months after 9/11, and I've flown about 10 times since then. It has never taken more than 15 minutes to get through security, and the most scrutiny my luggage ever received is when the screener pulled an alarm clock out of my carryon and looked it over.

I really don't know why everyone biatches about security so much. What was it really much different pre-9/11? Are international flights more of a pain in the ass?
 
2004-01-08 08:10:56 AM
Seriously? Crap.
 
2004-01-08 08:11:52 AM
If people don't use the airplane toilets as often as they used to, how are the plane operators going to have enough "giant,blue, blocks of ice" to drop on houses?

Ewww! I should know better than to eat breakfast and read Fark at the same time. *icky!*
 
2004-01-08 08:14:18 AM
If you end up pissing your pants, will they arrest you for using a chemical weapon?
 
2004-01-08 08:15:13 AM
This policy has existed for a while...the last two flights I took with American and Southwest had this policy albeit only for the front bathroom since it's right by the cockpit door.
 
2004-01-08 08:17:06 AM
Damn, now how am I gonna pick up chicks?
