Just because the blankets are nicely plastic wrapped does NOT mean they were cleaned. I have found many unpleasant things (hairs, dirty blankets, crumbs and even food)inside once opened. VERY disgusting! Been on several flight on United in the past few months. Just because the blankets are nicely plastic wrapped does NOT mean they were cleaned.

A pig pulled him over for nothing, and started to harass him, and the kid was videotaping the whole thing... when the kid told him this, the cop was insolent and claimed he'd just have the camera destroyed by his corrupt cronies. Too bad the camera was broadcasting to the web in real time. I think there are cameras now that will do that. Get one, and don't let the pig know about it. He'll be more likely to behave when he knows his misbehavior is being broadcast to the world. M, you should do what the kid in Missouri did.

Last week I took a photo (for filing a complaint with the airline) of a UAL "customer service" rep who refused to give me his name. (He was totally unhelpful, and refused to get a supervisor to come over when I requested one.) The airport cop very nearly clapped me in irons, and forced me to delete the photo off my camera.

A little surprising, to say the least. I just flew back from Korea to SF on United First Class, and my plastic wrapped blanket had a long black hair in it. A little surprising, to say the least.

I am always, always, always stopped at security - usually more than once. I asked a security guard once what gives? Why me? "Ma'am, you just look too nice. Maybe next time try wearing something scruffy." Huh? Julia Rosien Editor, http://gogirlfriend.com Love the picture of the nun being frisked!
