    Just another reason flying to the US sounds like more BS than it's worth...

    Hate how 9/11 is used as an excuse to go above and beyond to inconvenience everyday people. Frankie Boyle comes to mind here'

    Who gives a bollocks to be honest? It's the same sh1t you get off bouncers, Gardai with attitude problems etc. Just don't fcuking give them ammunition to shoot you with.

    After a minor inconvenience you'll be on your way to a lovely holiday whilst these ejits will still be going around putting stickers on passports. No brainer.

    Which is why everyone keeps saying that at the end of the day Bin Laden won.
    He removed everyone's civil liberties which is something even a nuke couldn't achieve.

    It's a good thing a real terrierist would never think of forging a stupid little sticker and putting it on his fake passport so he can sneak some nasty stuff onto a plane.

    So the sticker for your baggage tags, or the biometric barcode ref are 'interfering' with a legal document?

    So a big bad security man asked you a couple of questions and put a sticker on your passport before travelling to the US on a holiday. Talk about first world problems, what did he delay you like 20 seconds, wish that was the only thing I had to worry about on a given day.
    Unreal amount of arrogance posted here, ask for his PSA number? Report him? Tear the sticker off your passports? Get a life yis ****in knobs.

    Why is it necessary though? We're not even going into the mess that is the TSA here.

    I know where you're coming from, I haven't be across the pond myself since early 2001. No doubt when I do go, I'll probably end up in Guantanamo for something.

    You have absolutely nothing to worry about travelling to the US as long as have forms in order, nothing whatsoever.
    I lived in Manhattan between 2005-2009 nd travelled home 4/5 times during that time, also have flew over Boston,Chicago,Vegas nd Jfk again a couple times since moving home and not a second of trouble, well unless ure a complete drama queen nd think having a minor security screening before getting on a flight trouble

    I assume you haven't read the thread or you'd know why the OP was upset about it and how if the ICTS guy had been a little less of a dickhead there would have been no problem.

    People are getting pumped up over nothing here, he's an ICTS guy with absolutely no authority over pax or other staff or anything to do with the procedure of boarding or pax details. Let him have his little power trip and forget about him.

    You don't need to know that.
    There's no need for anybody to know. If people knew information about what goes on and what we do it wouldn't be safe as terriosts can abuse this.

    People don't need to know that ICTS is doing the same job that the DAA screening staff already did whilst coming thru the proper security channels in the Airport thus making the travelling publics life more stressful than it already is. ICTS are nothing, they serve no purpose, they cannot question you, detain you, off load you from a flight, have no say in what happens or goes on on a flight, they serve no purpose at all.

    It's not a pretty cool drive with many possible diversions though. It's eight hours of nothing which is renowned as being one of the worst drives in America.

    I like driving through nothing. The Mojave Desert is quite restful I find.

    The worst drive in America would probably be the one into LA.
