nklr dakar rally 2008 cancelled now tsa

[Tumu Rock]

Har, Har, Har!! When I was flying in/out of Las Vegas with my effed up foot I called for one of those airport wheelchairs...got the full search, including chemical wipes to check for gunpowder or Al Quaeda links or whatever... Even the guy pushing the chair said "Really, Section D security check??" when they announced it as I went through. Personally, I think the Dakar organizers should have issued semi-automatics and mounted rocket launchers on the vehicles...then see who shows up to do anything funny. Where's Bierdo?
