Well that is a loaded question, pull up a chair...

It would involve obtaining launch codes and authorization, and me winning the 2008 Presidential election...

BTW, Wife Unit and I went to visit some friends that live in the nieghborhood across from Hobby airport...

And I made a point to look up on that ramp (crossover) entry into the passenger drop-off and pick up, and saw no checkpoint there...

My question is not to disprove the claim at all, but is it still there??? And exactly where in that drive up to the front of the main building??? Maybe we just didn't have a good chance to spot it...

And is it actually in place 24/7 or are they taking the weekends off...

We were passing by about 3pm this afternoon...

Just curious...

But thats beside the point...

The payoff from my booky in Vegas would be tremendous if I got it right...The odds of you or I or anyone else on this forum being in the right place at the right time, and clueing up on the situation to stop an attack in this country is astronomical...So it doesn't even come into play...

So I'm not too bent out of shape with the efforts (however rediculous they are) so far in this war...And these are just a few annoying little aspects of this deal we have to put up with these days...

Go talk to a family member who might have been around during WWII...See what they had to deal with...

And the fact that we carry guns almost has no bearing on anything with this issue, other than the off chance they may turn you around at some point...At which time you have the right to file a grievance which is in the Constitution...

Not at TexasCHLforum.com ;-)

I'm not doing anything today...I might mosey on over to Hobby and go check things out...

(The lawyers are cringing right about now...) :lol:

Or let them plan terrorist acts on the phone with no way to listen in? come on now. . . This is not time for the hypothetical "big brother is watching!" They are not looking for you or me or our guns. . .
Yeah, but in this case, at the very least, we would have been asked to stop and leave...

I imagine we would be given a close escort away from the airport...

At which time the person I'm going to pick up at Hobby is going to be pretty mad that I drove right by with the law trailing me...

The whole situation is rediculous...

I had not heard of this stepped up (boundary of the airport "pushed this far back") at Hobby...I only live a few miles from there, and when the "hightened" state gets raised even higher, I have never heard of them doing anything at Hobby, its always been at "IAH"...

But still the "random" stop, is still a stop...And we are required to disclose to the LEO our status...I'll always carry "to" the airport anyway, so I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there...

I have to wonder what they are doing to the folks just walking in...And not obviously into the "secure" area of an airport...
