    LC - it is ridiculous, crazy thing is, I think he was better than quite a few who made it. End of day, these hall of fames have much less relevance to me. Tom

    Any early takers on HOF vote for Rock Hall? Here is my bet, hope I am wrong - Iron Maiden and Billy Idol get screwed again. Phil Collins will get in this time. And by the way "New Edition" is leading the fan vote if you are interested....................................... On other news...

    Agree. Lax and sfo are always painful 365 a year! I am lucky so far at bwi as that is the major hub but so far so good. Hopefully it ends soon and the press can find a new story. Tom

    Mike Can confirm I flew out of Baltimore, landed in Austin today and no real delays at TSA. My precheck was 2 mins and in Austin, no lines I saw when leaving airport. So, I don't know, I think there are certain airports that appear to be hit harder b/c BWI and AUS are not small airports. So...

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    Paddy Unfortunately this concept doesn't exist in either side or party. They both, when in power, spend as much as they can. I am a fiscal conservative who has been continuously disappointed my entire adult voting life. Tom

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    I can't answer the strategy, etc. Typically, if Israel is involved, it is done with precision. It looks like today there were some sort of talks that are having a positive effect on the markets and oil prices are already plunging which should help in a few months time. (Gas prices here go up...

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    There is that............but I think you know where I was going with that! The Ayatollahs are just plain bad apples, bred in hatred and hatred in practice. They aligned themselves with a fanatical arm of the military that they built. Irony here is they hated the Shah for his corruption of the...

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    Agree, the current regime in Iran are militant, aggressive and preach the Death to anybody against them, mainly the USA and Israel. IN the past, if I recall, they also and continue to advocate for Death to all in the West. Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand they want death...

    Don't disagree with any of your points in the least. Unfortunately, seemingly every approach over the last 25 years has eventually deteriorated and been mired in crapola for a myriad of reasons. On a flip note, a current positive is the reduction of border crossings. It is a very difficult...

    Things that annoy me

    I think I am just lucky as I saw some of this footage too. Having precheck certainly helps. As for attacks, I can tell you as much as I fly, you become numb to the surroundings and routine. That said, yes, the large crowd in recent times is always a concern. I think I just put it out of my...

    Things that annoy me

    You will have to tell me which airports as this was a topic of conversation with my seatmate on Thursday's flight. Maybe I am lucky, but just have not seen it. Like I said, I can only think that the news crew is looking at busy times. NOW, one other thing is I go thorough Precheck, so that...

    Things that annoy me

    Mike Only pointing out one thing here - I fly every week, No delays at TSA in any of the airports I was at - BWI, Phoenix, Hobby, Austin, Dallas. I think what is being reported is biased. YES, TSA is reduced and I don't blame them, BUT, even when at full staff, if you got to an airport at...

    "Preference to Jews", what because of the atrocity that occurred???? I wouldn't call that "preference", sounds more like humanity.

    Seriously, this is bordering on offensive. Maybe on some opinions, you should let it go, unless you walked in my family's shoes and the tragedy that ensued, I would cut out the retorts as they get to be insulting. You do not have a right to judge others feelings about a certain subject. There...

    Damian It is sad that some parts of humanity "go there" to that point isn't it? Thanks for your color on my point. And to Brad who posted after you. There are certain crimes as I have described (and a few more I didn't I am sure) that are in this category. It is about justice and punishment...

    Furthermore, facts would support an argument that the US leniency on all crimes in the last decade and by that I mean no cash bail, early release, monitoring, deferred sentencing etc has actually shown that these criminals not only are likely to re-offend but they have at the highest rates in...

    Not entirely correct. There are a lot of murders which are not capital crimes. That is reserved for the worst of the worst. Ie premeditated, serial, ongoing criminal enterprise etc. There are a lot of heat of the moment murders and manslaughter that are prosecuted accordingly. Capital...
