Pilot Refuses Full-Body Scan,Says TSA Doesn’t Make Travel Safer

 

Nude photos of passengers are viewed in full body scanners.

Last week in Las Vegas, I was asked to go into the full body scanner and refused. I was subjected to a public pat down that literally touch EVERY part of my body.. I applaud this ExpressJet pilot for taking one for the team and raising awareness for the frequent molestation that travels get in the name of airline safety..

From the CBS New York article:

A Tennessee pilot who says he’s tired of being manhandled by security agents is waiting to see if he will lose his job because he refused a full body scan.
ExpressJet Airlines first officer Michael Roberts was chosen for the X-ray scan Friday at Memphis International Airport. The Houston-based pilot says he also refused a pat-down and went home.
The 35-year-old Roberts told The Commercial Appeal newspaper he wants to go to work and not be “harassed or molested without cause.”

College bans energy drinks after 16 students hospitalized

Energy Drinks sent me to hospital less that 3 days after this photo was taken.

Over 2 years ago I rushed to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack only to learn that the energy drinks that I frequently consumed were really the cause. After that health scare, I’ve been trying to raise awareness of how bad these drinks really are for you. Talk to any ER doctor and they will tell you that college kids are coming in every weekend with heart problems called by drinking energy drinks mixed with alcohol.

Spread the word!

Check out this article by CBS about Rampo college banning all alcoholic energy drinks after 16 students are hospitalized.

Woah.. What kind of school is this?

I hope the creators of this ad weren’t graduates of  South Bend Public schools. Gives whole new meaning to asking the cafeteria work about the hair you found in your food.

Jamming with Peter Himmelman’s Furious World – Evil Ways

Had a great time hanging out with my pal Peter Himmelman during a broadcast of his rock and roll variety show, Furious World!

I was pumped when he asked me to sit in and sing some backup vocals on Carlos Santana’s “Evil Ways”.. Didn’t really know the song but lack of preparedness hasn’t stopped me yet! 😉

Of course, Furious World is powered by the trusty NewTek TriCaster!
