Man, I'd love to have one of those things to drive around town while I'm at school. Granted I can tote too much around with me, but it'd still be fun.

after my personal experience, i don't trust those security checks, bunch of BS:

april after sept 11th, when security was at it harshest, i had to go through 5 metal detectors, 3 pat-downs with handheld metal detectors, and 2 shoe checks to get onto the airport (and also by the army guys with M16s) and when i got to the destination, i found out i accidentally had my swiss army knife with me, with a 4 inch sharp blade, and the other array of potentially dangerous toys. (all metal too)

seriously do you realize how retarded it is when they take away nail clippers and let me go through 10 security checks with a knife in my right pocket images/smilies/eek.gif

Really? Thats crazy you got through with that. My grandma, white hair and pretty old, was a threat becuase she has a manicure set in her luggage. They had to delay the plane so they could confiscate the set.

I went with my family on a trip to somewhere I forgot. My mom was wearing slip-on sandals, and my dad and I wore sneakers. Through 3 seperate security checkpoints, only she was stopped to take off her shoes, because of Richard Fucking Reid's crazy shoe burning bit. Conveniently, she was wearing sandals, so they just stopped her so they could keep the line moving.

Fucking Richard Reid, had to light his shoe on fire and be a cock about it, and now we all have to take off our shoes. I hope he gets herpes.
