The Homeland secruity Dept. needs to wake up we already go thourgh a bomb dection device in order to get on the aircraft so how in the **** is taking away a lighter going to help. Since they already know if you have anything on you why would they let you board the aircraft. [soapbox][soapbox] We need to take control of the Goverment back there is a way that a term limit amendment could be passed without having to go thourgh congress. But if an when that ever happens we need to write it so a politican can serve a maximum of 16 years in any elected office that way we do not end up with carrer pol.

Yeah, I can see how that would have happened. Here is a funny story along those lines... Most of the time when I go train hunting, I have the kid with me. We never haven any problems when he with me. Everyine can usually tell whats going on. But one time I was by myself, I admit, I wasin public property but barley when I RR employee walked up and asked "Can I help you?" Well, that what he said, but what he ment was, "Ok, I have reason to kick your ***, now give me an excuse..." I felt like I just got busted lookin at dads Playboy Mag or somehting. So I responded after a startle smile came across my face... "Oh, I got the day off and came down here to do a little foamin and mess up my shirt." He paused and smiled then, and asked if I had seen anthing good and let me know that a one of the "mains" would one coming in soon , then we had a good little chat before he got called back. . Guess he got a kick out my repsonse. <grin> John k Best Regards, Big John Kiva Valley Railway- Freelanced road in central Arizona.

Harrier on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 5:11 PM FIRST 9-1-1 OPERATOR: What is your emergency? TRAIN: We wanted to report suspicious activity. FIRST 9-1-1 OPERATOR: OK, I can help you. TRAIN: This is the westbound train alongside Highway 111. We have a suspicious car that has been following us for miles. When we slow down, it slows down. When we speedup, it speeds up. FIRST 9-1-1 OPERATOR: We will send a patrol car out to investigate. SECOND 9-1-1 OPERATOR: What is your emergency? MOTORIST: I want to report a strange train. SECOND 9-1-1 OPERATOR: Where is this train located? MOTORIST: I am westbound on Highway 111 that follows the railroad tracks. A train is following me. Most locomotives are filthy dirty, but this train is sparkling clean. It is so beautiful I can’t help but stair at it. But, when I slowdown to look, it slows down too. I think something must be wrong. SECOND 9-1-1 OPERATOR: We will send out a patrol car to investigate. FIRST 9-1-1 OPERATOR: What is your emergency? TRAIN: This is the train that was along Highway 111. We are adjacent Canyon Road now. That car is still following us. He even got ahead of us, parked his car, and watched us as we passed. A crewmember went outside the locomotive on the walkway to ask what the strange motorist was doing, and why he was following us. The motorist didn’t say anything. Perhaps he is a terrorist that does not understand English. FIRST 9-1-1 OPERATOR: We will look into it. SECOND 9-1-1 OPERATOR: What is your emergency? MOTORIST: This is the motorist that was on Highway 111 that reported the train incident. I am now on the Canyon roadway. A big, strange man came out of the locomotive cab and yelled something at me. I have the slightest idea what he said. I think the train has been hijacked. The man could not possibly have been one of the crew. Any rightful crewmember would know the locomotive makes so much noise pulling up the hill he couldn’t possibly carry on a conversation with someone trackside. I think someone really should investigate. Besides, why is the train still following me? SECOND 9-1-1 OPERATOR: Sounds serious. We will expedite a unit and investigate. MOTORIST: Thank you. The point: A semi-similar situation actually happened, but events and circumstances were altered in this story to protect the parties involved. It seems cowards are super scared of their own shadows these days. America needs to get out of the stupid mode it seems to be in. If it does not, America could hardly be considered the “land of the free” with “liberty for all.” Osama bin Laden would rejoice in that.
