Howdy yokinazu,

Thanx for yer service

Now then..I reckon that yer right about the idiot behind the desk,but this has happened more than once at Oakland and that there desk jockey needs to be fired and maybe his manager too.

Another bone that I would like to pick,is that it is highly unlikely,that anyone-even a muslim jihadist,would be able to take a weapon from a Marine or anyone else trained in combat and not only that-but have a supply of correct ammo to use in any given weapon..and not only that-but be wandering around near a group of soldiers carrying empty weapons..especially if they are in the security area.

This is a crazy,bass-ackwards,pc policy and if we can't trust our soldiers to retain their weapons..then who can we trust ?

It dang sure ain't the liberals who are scared of guns !

I wish that you could have come back to the States through Dallas/Ft.Worth airport..not only would y'all have been properly disembarked,but treated like the heroes that y'all are.

Have a good one ! :jointsmile:
