Whether the story is true or false, I just fell in love with Tallywacker...
[OK, so I typed that and read it... and I left it JUST because of the ridiculous quotability of that statement ]

And the whole time I had a handgun on me. They did however warn me that nail clippers and gerbers weren't allowed on the plane, this was in 08.

Its cheaper to rent civilian jets than it is to buy new military jets, which are currently in short supply

Well I guess I got owned. But are we just talking about civilian airliners, leased by the military, or ones that are flying regularly-scheduled commercial routes WITH civilians on them?
I've seen troops bringing their packs onboard of course, but I didn't know they had weapons as well. Why not check them? Civilians have to check their firearms. |

That seems like overkill. If the government is getting the plane for hire, why couldnt they just fly to the closest civ airport to the base???
