Default Al Gore bypasses airport security
This is funny. An airline employee escorted Al and his entourage around security screening. But it's ok, they took him back and made him walk through security.

He could have been planning to hold the flight hostage with a Granola bomb or some sharpened bean sprouts, then subjecting them to a three hour Global Warming lecture. Only then could the flight continue, after extracting a promise from each passenger to plant a tree as a carbon-emissions-offset.

Now that is my definition of true terror.

With the time wasted putting him through security, it's almost a sure thing that ManBearPig has escaped our grasp.

He's a private citizen, why should he not be screened like everyone else?

More "do as I say, not as I do"?

My concern is that an airline employee would do this for a terrorist.

Why didn't they shut down the airport and search it? Can Al Gore be trusted more than anyone else? He was pretty bitter about loosing an election. That could be probable cause.

Gore's being made to go through screening makes me feel no more or less safe.

Silly question, IMHO.

He's a private citizen, just as you or I. Same rules apply.

Search what for what?

Probable cause for what?

And he didn't ask to avoid it and when they asked him to go through it he did it happily.

What exactly are you upset with him about?

Are you suggesting that airport screenings should be something other than completely random or mandatory? What makes Al Gore less of a risk than you or me? ANY answer to that question would involve the dreaded PROFILING!!!! Which we are supposed to believe is just plain wrong!

I believe this is why they call it "policies"...that procedures are always followed without exception.

Can anyone say, without exception, that is not possible for someone to plant something inside a carry-on that the passenger does not know about??

Well, whenever a person bypasses security, they tend to shut down the airport and search it for suspicious items.

Anyone actually read the story? It doesn't appear to me that Gore requested that security be by-passed - does it to you?

But the thing I noticed ... Al Gore was catching a flight on a commercial jet!! I got the impression (in another Gore-bashing thread) that the guy only flew on private jets.

Well, first of all, I don't think anyone has ever said he ONLY flys private jets, merely that he DOES fly on private jets frequently (for nothing more than his own convenience). But, I would be willing to bet heavily that even when flying commercially, he is slamming his fat ass down in first class....representing a bigger carbon footprint than those flying coach!

And speaking of Al's fat ass...wonder how much of a carbon footprint all of the food he is apparently consuming is leaving behind!
