DHS Traveler Terror Scores Leaked

This is ridiculous. These types of security measures are both ineffective and don’t target the terrorists. They merely inconvenience innocent travelers while the “bad guys” simply go around ineffective security procedures. It happens all the time.

Without notifying the public, federal agents have assigned millions of international travelers, including Americans, computer-generated scores rating the risk they pose of being terrorists or criminals.

The travelers are not allowed to see or directly challenge these risk assessments. The government intends to keep the scores on file for 40 years.

The scores are assigned to people entering and leaving the United States after computers assess their travel records, including where they are from, how they paid for tickets, their motor vehicle records, past one-way travel, seating preference and what kind of meal they ordered.

Gettin’ Eaten By A Croc

No, no…not him – that was a stingray remember?

I read this today and almost spit my coffee out laughing.

Florida sheriff’s deputies jumped into a dark lake and pulled a naked man from the jaws of an alligator early Wednesday, authorities said.

Four deputies waded through waist-deep mud, wrestled the man free and pulled him about 40 yards back to shore to a waiting ambulance, Judd said.

He was totally naked,” Judd said of the victim, identified as 45-year-old Adrian Apgar.

He admitted that he’d been smoking crack cocaine. But still, it’s a human life,” Judd said at a news conference. “Our deputies don’t ask questions, they respond and they save people.”

lol 😆

Where are the Travel Deals of the Week?

Well, I was thinking about it and every week I pick the cheapest prices and the places I think you guys might find most interesting. Starting next week I’ll have deals to and from countries all over the world, inside and outside of the US, and lead you to some travel agents I know that have given me really good deals in the past.

FYI on the travel agents, it’s not a money thing, I never advertise or post anything for personal gain, I just want to help nurture that travel seed we all have…

So, all of this being said, where do you guys want to hear about? Perhaps I focus on England too much, or flights out of New York… or Fiji (which is a very bad place to go at the moment).

It doesn’t have to necessarily have to be somewhere you will go, but I’ll just keep them in mind and post some prices when they come my way. Although, if you are going somewhere – you can always let me know and I’ll put the word out too see if there is a good deal out there for you :D? Cause that’s what hommies do you know :mrgreen:

If You Drink Wine for a Happy Heart

Keep in mind the part of the world the (red) wine is from. All kinds of wine get you drunk my friend, but might as well do some good for your heart at the same time.

Those seeking a longevity-boosting tipple should turn their attention to red wines from Sardinia and south-west France, a study concludes.UK researchers discovered chemicals called procyanidins were responsible for red wine’s well-documented heart-protecting effect.

And they found traditionally made wines from these areas had more procyanidins than wines in other parts of the world.

The researchers believe the way that wines are made is the key.

In traditional wine making, said Professor Corder, grapes have a three to four week fermentation period, allowing for full extraction of the chemical from the skin and the seed.

Bitch in French

There are bitches in other languages to. In case you run into a francophone one say,

une garce – “a bitch”.

Of course this works for the ones that don’t understand as well. Use and abuse tout le monde!
