I swear the remote controlled helicopter I got for Crhistmas was strictly to annoy my pet.
Is buying a drone still OK?
No, its not.
Unless you are a Federal, state or local law enforcement agency. Then go crazy and use those DHS funds to buy a useless toy that some officer will spend 75% of his duties trying to learn and never actually master.
Yeah, thanks for convincing me once again that nearly everybody using hallucinogenics is employed in Washington, DC.
The terrorist have won already they have no need to attack anything, comrade.
TSA ought to check people going in and out of churches, those fuckers are highly suspect. And there is a restaurant I go to where I get something called pollo (tastes like chicken) and all of the people are either weird looking or dressed strange. You can also find them in the morning hanging around Home Depot. Plus, they all speak in some language that I can’t understand. I mean, where to hell is TSA to monitor these people. Plus, our church van was struck by a carload of Julios. They all jumped out and ran in different directions which is a strange reaction to an accident. And or course there was no insurance.
What, Sis? You never heard of a hit and run?
Not when they leave the car. It reminded me of rats scurrying.
Birddog’s right. We’re all screwed. We’ve passed the tipping point. Things like the movement to popular vote movement to screw the electoral college will only accelerate the decline.
Enjoy life while you can – soon there will be no life worth living anymore.
All of it is Orwellian but the worst is the last: Using cash… How dare people use legal currency…
And how “require ID from all new customers” can even be legal?
Be suspicious of people that carry a netbook, tablet, and iPhone into an internet cafe and appear to be distracted with texting and typing constantly, and they appear to be concealing the screen of their devices from prying eyes.
They are planning something.
You know they are.
Our fearless leader, er, messiah, is bringing our boys home. Discharging them into a world of unemployment. What to do, what to do? Oh! Every city should hire as many as they can as cops! Good idea.
Hope they don’t remember Big Sis warning everyone that people with military training are potential terrorists…
It’s like O’Bama is completely detached from reality. Big Sis says we ought to do and he gives her the big okee dokee. You need look no further than the TSA for proof. Hundreds of billions of dollars and ten years. Not one single terrorist thwarted. Not one. And then, as if to drive the knife even deeper they begin searching law abiding Americans anywhere, everywhere and even AFTER traveling.
And they could have come up with any number of names to describe the activity but they chose a vicious sounding acronym; VIPER. Stands for “Visible Intermodal Protection and Response.” WTF? Someone had to work overtime to come up with that.
Man, we are so screwed I doubt even Ron Paul could save us.
Sorry. I just wanted to add that I read a couple days ago that over half the TSA’s multi-billion dollar budget is spent on management activities. Feel safer?
Now the TSA will search you and steal your stuff.
TSA Agent’s Theft The Latest In A String Of Blunders
The cure is looking worse than the disease….
“Hundreds of billions of dollars and ten years. Not one single terrorist thwarted. Not one…..”
And here is the logic TSA will give you for that.
There was an old man in France who used to get up every morning at five A.M. He would then go and sprinkle a white powder on the roads.
When he was asked what he was sprinkling on the roads, he answered that it was elephant powder.
The person then remarked “But everybody knows that there are no elephants in France!” to which he answered “I guess it must be working then!”
I thought there were many schemes stopped.
Were we being lied to?
For those yes repliers, here’s one while I got your attention.
Please explain how you would wire up a large skyscraper so the demolition goes down in freefall.
The obvious answer is there is enough gravity potential energy in concrete and steel at height to bulldoze building joints at this speed.
While going into a gun shop and asking about the rate of fire and killing range of an assault rifle would mark you out as a patriot
Why do you need an assault rifle? Why are you curious about the killing range? What is so important about the rate of fire?
Are you planning something?
I know you are.
Well this year is the 200 anniversary of the war of 1812 – those Canucks are just waiting to storm Washington and burn the Whitehouse (again)
We need more agents to watch the agents that are watching the agents that watch us.
I just read the flyer internet cafes and turned you all in.
My propane distributor had a homeland security questionnaire for me this season. You can’t fuck around with the necessities of life with this crap.
The terrorists are everywhere. They hang out at internet cafes. They sneak around in shopping malls. They hide under the seat in the cinema. They drive the taxicabs. They pick up the garbage. They work at convenience stores and truck stops. They deliver the mail.
You never know where the next one will pop up.
Be afraid. Very afraid.
In reading through the first several of these, try ending with “the government”.
Interest in remote control aircraft –
Interest that does not seem genuine –
Possessing little knowledge of activity –
Demonstrating no interest –
Using cash for large transactions –
Great ! Now the terrorists have a detailed list of behaviours to avoid when buying from all different types of suppliers…
I am SURE I qualify as a terrorist since I buy lots of handguns and ammunition.
This country has gone bat shit crazy.
When I was a kid, I bought 22 ammo at my hardware store, and shot the rifle in my back yard.
Now, both of these things will bring the SWAT team to shoot my dog just to warn me how they run things now.
I had my identity stolen and the people were buying plane tickets and flying lessons with my credit card.
I reported it to the FBI….what did they do?
NOTHING.
Wow, I never had a Model Airplane, but I know some people who are into that stuff and one thing is well known to me: the max. payload of these things is always an important question to these intusiasts, because they like to attach cameras and other fun stuff to their models. Most of these points on the poster actually apply to most of the entusiasts.
If you guys like, I can give you some (since I am german) how to click your heels together and greet your UberAuthorities in the right manner. Seems like you need such knowledge very soon.
I went to the hobby shop to look at trains and some guy tried to recruit me to be a model plain enthusiast. It’s too expensive for me to get into. Trains are expensive enough. Planes just cost way too much.
They just don’t want you to have any hobbies anymore and sit in front of the tv only, sucking in all the government propaganda channels.
Oh….that is already the case. Sorry.
And soon all hobby shops will go bankrupt also. Just like everything else on those flyers.
Oh…that was their intention in the first place. Sorry
You gotta admit those multi-blade heli-thingys have some nasty potential. Imagine a container truck on a highway off DC.
The top of the container opens up and a swarm of heli-thingys come out each with a 2kg high explosive load.
These notices worry me. They are made by dopes. The most obvious point to note would be purchases of 10 or more that should send alarm bells ringing.
Here’s what makes the TSA so bloody hopeless. One of the worst serious of arson fires of homes we ever had was caused by one dude on the west coast using a cigarette lighter and nothing else. There was series of major arsons recently by some German guy mad at the government and he wasn’t doing anything fancy either.
Use the offercode “tripwire” for 30% off your next visit to gitmo!
Take a block of modeling clay into the store and ask them which plane will carry this much and how far?
Be sure to wear your balaclava and have a turban on your head.
If you see something, say nothing. Screw Big Brother and the drone he flew in on.
If you’re a pinball wizard, you’re SOL.
So basically if I was a terrorist I now know how not to act to raise suspicion. Congrats DHS.
