6 hours on a fucking tarmac.
47 passengers stranded on a tarmac for six hours, then spending another three-and-a-half in a terminal before completing their trip.

Why?

ExpressJet Airlines, which operated the flight for Continental, says airline regulations prevented passengers from getting off the plane, and security screeners had gone home for the night, anyhow. Not only that, says the airline, but efforts to arrange a bus trip failed, and the plane's crew passed the legal limit on hours it could work, so another crew had to be brought in.

Tell me again how regulating this & every other industry MORE is going to save us? & those TSA fucks shouldn't get to go home for all the bullshit they put passengers thru. Fuckers out to be required, under pain of death, to man those checkpoints 24/7 w\ some personnel.

They're a gov't agency. Technically federal law enforcement.

Why do they need one? They already work for the biggest mafia in the world.
