Blown Opportunity Update
Well, they finally found the hidden backpack/jihad bomb yesterday. I know because I broke for lunch from a training session and security had that whole side of the building ribboned off. Bomb squad on the way. But no announcement! No evacuation! Well, except for a little something special I left for the janitors in the mens' room.
I was pissed. Kind of threw the whole post below into a bit of a Chicken Little thing. And I didn't have to tell you this, either, but I'm a stand up guy.
What did I do? I walked over to the security guards, and said 'I saw that yesterday. I was going to tell you about it, but it stopped ticking. For a little while.'
Now, irony ain't high on the attributes they look for in a security guard. I'll just leave it at that. But I think they brought out the skidmark sniffing dog from the K-9 unit instead of the explosives sniffer, because he turned around and gave them that baleful, defeated look that said Yes. Bum shit drawers. May I have my fucking treat now, you sick cocksuckers?
The skidmark K-9 was stationed in Tucson awhile ago - there was some fool who tried to steal a truck, then got the bright idea of evading the cops by hiding out undersides a trailer. The K-9 pulled the lil'fucker out... by the scalp. :D
There are times I wish I could give those dogs a steak...
Extra credit if you can guess the nationality!
Oh, and about the bomb thing - you must not be sporting a beard, or else you'd be regaling us on the niceties of asphalt texture.

Posted by: LeeAnn at August 16, 2006 11:25 PMDrug sniffing dogs sit too when they find drugs on your person.
Alas, V-Man you provide regularly true benefits of lighting up. You and your regular congregation witness a world most of us now neglect. However, I do believe my now increased sensory functions would have probably sniffed out the bum-shit drawers and that would have been advantage V-man. - ds
Posted by: Dishonorable Schoolboy at August 17, 2006 7:10 PMYeah, the security guards at the airport don't have the greatest sense of humor these days, either. Which, at first glance, seems reasonable.
But after ponder, I have concluded that it is not actually prerequisite to relinquish any and all personality before gaining the capacity to secure an area.
