Airport security check points
Everyone travelling from/to/in the United States have seen the horrible and useless people called TSA agents. These people pretend they secure the airport and airplanes by “checking” all passengers. In practice it means they will yell and scream while they pretend to check your passport and baggage.
Since May 2009, the TSA introduced a new rule: you have to place your shoes on the belt and can’t place them in the bins anymore. They were already masters in throwing out water bottles, tooth paste (”it is not a paste but a liquid”), parfumes and other personal items. They also hold the world record for longest waiting lines.
On Amazon I stumbled across this great Playmobil security check point set:
The buyer comments are even more fun:
I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger’s shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger’s scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said “that’s the worst security ever!”. But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.
The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I’ve heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms of quality and motion detection, so I think I’ll get him the Playmobil Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead (it comes with a cute little memo from George Bush).
Fire trucks!
We are on the road with our rental car and the silliest thing happened. While I was in a store the girls had the car running for the airco. They decided to get out and the car locked all doors. Great! Car keys in car, engine running, doors locked. So we called Hertz and guess who came to the rescue with their sirens on? Two fire engines and a police car!!
They had the door open in no time, shook our hand and of they went, never even asked our name.
Well that was a new experience!
Tv streaming works with gogo in-flight wifi
Technology is so cool. The new gogo in-flight wifi works perfectly with the slingbox media player on the iPhone. I’m now in a plane 4500 miles from home watching TV through the Internet on my home UPC DVR!
TV on the iPhone
The slingbox media player is finally realeased and available for 30 dollars in the American app store.
The app works great but is limited to wifi only. AT&T and apple don’t like bandwidth intensive apps….
With this app and the slingbox on my UPC DVR I can watch TV while travelling. I wonder how this works on the new wifi network onboard Delta airplanes. Would it work? Watching live tv in the skies!
