VIPER missions have been around for a long time. Similar to air marshals, except on trains and buses.

Romance Novel…;

He grasped me firmly but gently just above my elbow and guided me into a room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone. He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low, reassuring voice close to my ear. "Just relax."

Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing, and moving upward along my calves slowly but steadily. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so experienced, so sure.

When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my ribcage. And then, as he cupped my firm, full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply. Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine and into my panties.

Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and expectant. This is a man, I thought. A man used to taking charge. A man not used to taking `no' for an answer. A man who would tell me what he wanted. A man who would look into my soul and say...

"Okay, ma'am," said a voice. "All done."

My eyes snapped open and he was standing in front of me, smiling, holding out my purse. "You can board your flight now."

Does anybody know if the TSA will let me bring 2-foot rebar tent stakes in my carry-on bag? If I find some. Seriously. I have lost one set in the mail already.

They can squeeze my boobs all they want as long as I get through with my gear. :roll:

Well, My Dear Friend, I will give you an emphatic NO! If it's over 7 inches long (there must be a snarky line here, but it's way too easy) you can't bring it on a plane. You can't bring any type of tool or piece of hardware that's over 7 inches long. I lost a very cool, universal wrench with no sharp edges what so ever because it was 8 inches long. It could have slipped through security, but the agent saw it and chose to impose the "rules".
If you head to a Lowes or Home Depot in Reno, you'll be able to pick up precut pieces of rebar for your tenting and anchoring pleasure. :D

Well Home Depot used to list 24-inch rebar stakes on their website, but now they only show 12-inch. Yggy says he can cut some for me, but, I sure won't want to leave them behind. Maybe I can check a bag. :evil: I hate that.

Hey, :? I thought we had a gift economy here! Not to worry though :lol: these boobs of mine have been attracting random fingers since I was 12 years old :roll: so as long as you're not standing at a security checkpoint with one hand on an automatic weapon and the other inside my clothes :shock: :shock: :shock: talking dirty to me in broken English :roll: you are cool.

Seriously, you'll get more boob than you bargained for just giving me a hug...

MDF, if need be you can ship your rebar (and anything else for that matter) out to me and we will make sure it gets onto the playa by the time you and the Dawg get there. Always willing to help.

I'm sure that Home Depot chops up those pieces of rebar to sell in the stores. They may not show on the website, but they are definitely there. I buy those 24 inch lengths and candy cane the tops and then paint them bright orange. I also put a point on the end and grind off all the sharp edges. That would be the only reason you might want to ship something that heavy. Otherwise you can buy them once you land in Reno for very short money.

Oh, and to stay on topic: the TSA still sucks bull balls!

Okay then, the security checkpoint was in Peshawar, on the tarmac, "behind" a cloth screen which was more of a backdrop really; a crowd of bug-eyed soldiers; and a way-too-tall chick with hairy arms who admired my "big American breasts" while groping me thoroughly and leaned in to say:

"I can copulation with you every night."

Nope, not, hot... :lol:
