It is humiliating how you are treated. I have been with a plane this year after some years again. I disliked it so much that I didn't wanted to fly anymore. After this holliday I have decided again not to fly anymore again. You can not say anything, the officers feel attacked inmidiately and put you aside, Those eldery people with hanging trousers walking on their socks it is awfull and humiliating. In America we walked out a museum after we were asked to do the whole security thing. We didn't want to be treated as criminals just for a museum visit.biebkriebelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01539958495933835606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-53501362108070021532014-09-04T20:46:00.397-06:002014-09-04T20:46:00.397-06:00Everybody has a security story.

My dear hubby wears suspenders as his pants do fall down. If he goes smaller in jeans. He would look like he was trying to be 20. Now when his suspenders was asked to be taken off at the airport you can imagine my look and my kids look. . He looked like the young guys with the pants down to their knees. I had to laugh at him. Then they said the security what was his your name sir.His name is really Siep. But with his original passport and what he is called now. Sid now as the Canadians cannot pronounce his Dutch name. They call him Zip. Or Syp. So we had already gone through.And my hubby's passport is not like yours and mine. It is a huge paper from passport so 20 minutes explaining so then they had to get a Dutch security guard. Hones. My son said to me. Why is dad being held up. He looks funny with being all half undressed. So like you said. The airport is another story. Yet Obama is letting in all the none illegal immigrants come on in.Free for all in America. Perhaps he should take them in at the white house till they have not a inch of space for him to move. . And us Canadians are treated like criminals.<br /><br />It could be all sorted for the non emigrants. Don't let them get duel<br />passports. That is too easy for them. We have all kinds of diseases coming in, robbers and heaven who knows what. I think O is two bricks to short a load. If you here his statement now. He thinks he can fix thee war. In reason. You think. Well I don't think so. Two guys have had heads chopped off. Oh please someone get him and Ford dismissed.They don't know the right arm from the right. oh Red you think it was my blog here. You have me going in here. Look you can read this and delete me for this subject off your blog. Or someone will have me going through the wrong door or maybe I have.
