Austrailian woman busted for swearing on American airliner

[trekgeezer]

I didn't know there was a law against swearing at flight attendants.  What's really silly about it is that what she said isn't considered swearing.  "Fair dinkum" indeed, just another case of the total lack of common sense in the world these days.

I know that Flight Attendants take a lot of abuse, and there is the heightened security these days, but comeon, this is a little overboard.

Crikey!

People still say fair dinkum?  At people?

Ahahaha!

You know, it's funny, Mancow was once talking about, among other things, flying really sucks now because the airports treat you like s**t (paraphrasing here) and if you for instance, complain a bit too much about how the flight attendants are treating you, you get put on "a list" which will make it even tougher to travel in the future.

Thought MC might be exaggerating a bit, but, I dunno...  He also about the time a male security guard grabbed Mancow's crotch.  Mancow tried to complain and the airline REFUSED to give him that guys name. Instead they're just like, "You'll miss your flight!"

And I've heard all sorts of stories of about the s**t women have to put up with being "searched" by security guards. ("Gotta frisk those curves, cant' be too careful.")

All in all, I'm just REAL glad I don't have travel...
