US OFFICIALS BAN PASSENGER TOILET QUEUES
7 January 2004
Qantas Airways passengers headed for America best make a pit stop before boarding the plane. The Australian airline says US officials are now banning passengers from gathering near lavatories on Qantas flights to the US.

It's a move ordered by the US Transportation Security Administration. Commercial flights across the Pacific Ocean from Australia to the US are among the world's longest.

One top Australian official says the new rule is "a little bit hard to handle." But the airline says it doesn't expect this to be a significant issue.

http://www.airlinequality.com/ - good site actually, and if you are not yet decided on whether you are boycotting the US of A (I am ) then read some of the comments about experiences travelling through their airports. It should help sway you.

I like how the Brazilians started to fingerprint passengers, as they haveb't got the instant machine to do it like the Yanks have.

Then the yanks cry foul aout their citizens being fingerprinted as an entry requirement.

I've definitely decided to boycott American airports. Having to get all my luggage off a plane, check it all in again and then get on the EXACT SAME PLANE an hour later was ridiculous!

I didn't know you had to do that, BridgeMan! That's a BLOODY outrage!!

 

[JonBonJovi]

He should have used his bridgeman powers to avoid all that plane crap!...was it your day of or did someone in the states scare you with a box of redheads?

Unfortunately my powers to transform into a bridge only enable me to span up to five kilometres.

 

[JonBonJovi]

Well what bloody good are you then?

 

[Spiff]

I didn't want to be a superhero! I'm just an ordinary guy who happens to be able to turn into a bridge when the occasion rises. I never asked for this responsibility!!!

People should fly naked.

Oh look, pull yourself together, build a bridge and get over it for crying out loud!

 

[JonBonJovi]

He can't he "burnt them all"

 

[Spiff]

Life's too short for burning bridges,
And living one day at a time.

 

[spawn]

How could you burn yourself anyway, surely you would transform into a METAL bridge Spiffo!

 

[Spiff]

Metal reinforcements only, I'm afraid. Maybe the Old Gods will consider me worthy enough for an upgrade if I save mankind enough.

 

[spawn]

Ill see what I can do.
