..They couldn't catch a guy with a bomb in his shorts on a flight bound for Detroit on Christmas Day, but they are absolute hell on a poor disabled child with leg braces. The Transportation Safety Administration refused to allow a four year old disabled boy to pass through airport security without first taking off his leg braces. A Philadelphia Enquirer Columnist reports how screeners at the Philadelphia Airport made this insane request of a child making his first flight to Disney World last March. The four year old, born prematurely, has malformed ankles and low muscle tone in his legs, and was just beginning to walk at the time the incident occurred. His parents told airport screeners that their son could not walk without the braces, which were made of metal and plastic. But that didn't matter to the screener, who insisted that the child had to physically walk across the security checkpoint on his own. When the father, who is a New Jersey police officer, asked to see a supervisor, and told him that his 4 year old son clearly was not a terrorist, he says the supervisor told him quote "You know why we are doing this, don't you?" Well the TSA now says that the boy should have never been required to remove his leg braces. They say, the parents should have been told to take their son to the private screening area, and the TSA has profusely apologized to the family.
With all the training these screeners go through, maybe they could include a few classes in common sense and sensitivity, you think.
So here's my question to you all...
Is the TSA going to far when it makes a four year old disabled boy remove his leg braces to pass through a security checkpoint?
Post your opinions in the comments, I want to hear from you all about this.

Thinking about BlogSpot
Current mood: Jedi
So I'm thinking about getting a BlogSpot to make it easier on those non-MySpace users who want to read the blogs... Sounds like a plan? Yes it does... Anyway, I would like people to tell me what song they would like to have as the this "season's" theme song for the show... I'm working on a title sequence for it...
Nothing else going on for now. Uploaded 2 new videos to the YouTube. Check them out.
VIDEO FOR THE DAY!
I feel this song describes me perfectly... I heart it!! ^^ Plus, the girl isn't so bad on the guitar!

Inside Out
Current mood: Frustrated
A song by Emmy Rossum. I really love the lyrics. We all want to be accepted as we are and she has an awesome voice to go with it.
Random bits of stuff
A Recipe
Valentine’s vanilla cookies
* 90g (3 oz) butter
* 1/2 c confectioners sugar (icing/powdered sugar)
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 c plain flour (all- purpose)
* 1 egg
Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF) and line or grease 2 baking trays.
Combine the butter, sugar and vanilla, beating until pale and creamy. Then add the egg and beat again. Add the flour and your mix should form a smooth dough.
Take it from the bowl and refrigerate for just 10 – 20 minutes, then roll out the dough (1/2cm or 1/4in) and cut cookies with any shape cutter you like. Obviously hearts are obvious… ha.
Once you’ve cut out all the dough, pop them onto the baking sheet and into the oven for 10 minutes. We made pretty small ones, bite size, but if you make them bigger just cook for another couple minutes- not long. They should hardly have turned colour at all.
This made about 35 small, thin cookies for us, so double the batch if you’re making BIG hearts this year! These cookies are crisp and sweet, very smooth and durable for decorating so go wild! (We ate most of ours before we could decorate them.)
Here’s a good simple icing recipe for easy piping/writing.
Decorator frosting
* 80 g (2.8 oz) butter
* 2 c confectioners sugar (powdered/icing sugar)
* 1 Tbsp water
* 1/2 tsp flavoring (vanilla extract, lemon, peppermint, coconut, etc)
* a drop or two of food colouring if you like
Beat the butter and half the sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy, then add the water, flavoring and colour and beat again while slowly adding the rest of the sugar until the mixture is creamy.
Pipe onto cookies using a piping bag or cut a tiny tip off a zip-loc bag and squeeze the icing through there onto the cookies.

Sleeping Beauty

By the way, DO NOT watch "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief". Why? Well because they claim that one of the "Olympians" or demigods is the daughter of Athena.
Think about that for a minute...
...
...
...
Okay, done thinking? No?
...

...
Okay, let me spell it out for you. Athena was a VIRGIN GODDESS. Nowhere in her mythology ANYWHERE is she EVER anything but a virgin. Now don't bring up that "virgin mary" bullshit with me.
Athena was NOT a mortal woman filled with the seed of God. She WAS a Virgin. I CANNOT stand people who RUIN mythology like that. READ YOUR FUCKING MYTHOLOGY YOU BASTARDS!
