poop
wats the fail?
Look @ the computer screen.
At least they are still doing something.
If they don’t beat this match using the 3 card draw version, the airport will explode!
Let me guess…Keanu Reaves is the security guy!
u would be the right person for that job
Solitaire- Vegas Draw One FTW!
Hes playing a game on the computer.
Notice it’s Venice Airport (Italy) – their biggest fear is a flood not terrorists!
Fail
Double fail, since this person also got away with taking a photo in an airport.
Who says you can’t take a picture in an airport???? You fail
you can’t (or shouldn’t be able to) take pictures in security, anywhere else in the airport is fine…. or maybe that’s only in customs that you can’t
you’re not supposed to use cell phones or cameras in security or in customs, but if you’re just outside of these areas taking pictures of them no one says anything. pretty lame.
depends on where you are- flying into Kathmandu, I wanted to take a picture because they don’t have a jetway, they wheel stairs up to the plane and you walk across the tarmac, i thought that was the coolest thing- but when i pulled out my camera, the armed guards didn’t like it much. in some places air traffic is not separate from the military.
Let see, what do you have in the box?
A gun?
Who cares I’m about to complete my game…
NEXT
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THATS FUNNY OH WAIT NO ITS NOT
This is what happens when somebody forgets her computer at an airport security scan.
Somebody read that. Somebody is going to burn your lunch.
First my fingers, now my lunch. When will the burning stop?
When you stop using old sex toys.
I am approving the budget for the renewal of the toy chest.
Well, it’s not as good as shoe shopping, but it’s better than nothing.
Not as good? I was planning using the same approach: try several until finding the optimal fit.
And the chapstick is bigger.
There are just human, like you and me…
No Excuse
Lucky I am they didn’t took the picture 5 mins befor when there was the hustler homepage.
You must be very weird dude.
took me awhile to get this. i thought it was cos she could walk through easy, then i looked at the screen
The guard is probably just checking passes. This isn’t really a fail. If it were an x-ray or other tech it wouldn’t be able to play solitare. I do this sort of thing for a living and the passengers come in spurts. You can have a couple of hours where there are no people at all and then hundreds at once.
Sure there’s slow moments…every workplace has them…
…But there’s no excuse to have it open when there’s people at the security checkpoint. If you’re going to be goofing off when no one is around, minimize or close the game when people actually do arrive.
anyone who says “there’s no excuse” just hasn’t thought of one yet
this isn’t during security though, that’s the computer terminal when you are boarding from your gate, already well past security……
A definite fail……they should have played the black 7 on the red 8.
Haha, maybe they had a good game going
So this is how you can get on a air plane with a condom full of explosives…
Sir, is that a bomb?
No, I just walk around with a massive erection in my suitcase.
Well if they were on break…I guess it’s okay lmao
A general note on airport security…it seems to me that the people who invariably carry out terrorist outrages always LOOK just like the sort of people you would expect to do so….if you get my drift. What possible advantage there is in making ordinary mr. and mrs. Joe public line up for hours to have everything they own in the world X-rayed groped and rummaged through before they board their flight to a holiday destination of their choice (usually) escapes me completely. Does anyone in security really think 60 year old grandmothers from the suburbs are attempting to smuggle explosives onto planes in their undies?
A little common sense would go a hell of a long way IMO
if they would stop searching grannies, small children, etc. terrorist or anyone trying to smugle anything throu the borders would use it right away, the risk is to high, i peronally knew a guy who tried to use his 10yo son to smugle weed from europe, but he got cought, see what i mean?
I know what you mean but there’s a qualifier to that. If a terrorist tried to ‘use’ an average person that person would just refuse, right? but let’s be frank..the enemy is extremist Islam and we can profile to a certain degree. Unfortunatley if you are in that demographhic you might have to expect extra attention by security. To blanket every single passenger with extreme security just so you dont seem to be ‘profiling’ smacks of moral cowardice to me.
The terrorists win when they make air travel so troublesome most of us give up on it or the whole process becomes almost intolerable.
The last person who tried to blow up a plan looked like members of my family. We do not resembled extremist. You can still support extremist by being a sympathizer
Bad example….that particular person should have been scooped up or at least prevented from flying through security procedures irrespective of any profiling or his appearance. He should have been on the no-fly list in the first place. That’s another thing that bugs the hell out of me…a failure in intelligence means that now we’re more than likely going to have one more humiliatng process to go through and guess what…the terrorists have probably already thought of something else; meanwhile our security personnel will go through the pointless motions of trying to detect the previous attempt ad infinitum.
Let me ask you…..the reductio ad absurdam in all this is that at the way we’re progressing we will all have to strip off and submit to a cavity search each and every time we want to fly anywhere….we’re already well on the way to that with these scanners that can see you through your clothes and certain flights will have mandatory pat-downs for everyone. Make no mistake theyre trying to see if youve got an amount of explosives concealed in your drawers…it aint going to be comfortable….would you yourself be happy about that? At which point do you finally say ‘screw it I’m going to take a ship or stay at home’?
The fact that he SHOULD have been on the list doesn’t change the fact that he looked like a normal guy… although I’m not really sure what that guy was trying to say. MY point is that he was black, not middle eastern. So yeah that idea doesn’t work.
I guess what I’m getting at is this…..we shouldn’t have a knee-jerk reaction to just make the general security more ridiculous every time something happens like this. I remember when the IRA were bombiing the UK in the 70′s we didn’t go nuts and start searching people entering pubs and so forth. At some point your security has to be weighed against the quality of life and dignity allowed to citizens.
Okay it’s a fair comment that the Nigerian guy wasn’t of middle’eastern appearance but he has been an exception to the general run of things. We seem to just go along with anything these days …we’re either worn out or scared stiff, I dont know which…when they wanted our nail clippers we should have dug our heels in then, IMO.
So your knee jerk reaction is to profile instead? Aside from criticizing the current method, which we all have the right to do, what would be your suggestion. I’m hoping for a different one that what you appear to propose, which is profile. Unfortunately in countries like The US, that means for each important location, we have to profile differently. Middle Easterners at the airports and Caucasians at major federal buildings? I don’t believe that would go over well and it would leave the door open for people who are not profiled to commit the same crime. I do agree with the nail clipper comment, though.
Profiling at least has the virtue of being of some use…taking nail clippers and hand cream off mainstream tourist passengers achieves absolutely nothing.
Seriously you know what would do more to cut the number of fanatics ready to do these things? An even-handed policy towards the middle-east in general and the Palestinians in particular. That’s a blatant injustice that’s been festering for years and it probably does more to incite and recruit terrorists than any other single thing. We will nenever have 100% effective, foolproof security at airports no matter what we do; the human element will always be present. Far better to reduce the threat at source.
If you mean they look like Muslims, um…no. The recent “underpants bomber” was African — without his accent, he probably could have passed for African-American. And the Shoe Bomber, as I recall was originally from Puerto Rico, but definitely not Middle Eastern or Persian.
I would say that if we start screening every Muslim-looking person at the airport, al-Qaeda will just send people who don’t look Muslim. However, I won’t say it because they seem to be doing that already.
Point is they aren’t white
My reply is that you’re right…some of the people who have carried out these attacks didn’t look middle-eastern..but every time I fly I seem to look around at my fellow passengers and they’re often family groups going off on a holiday..that sort of thing….do we REALLY need to take their shampoo and nail clippers off THEM? The fact remains that the people who carried out the recent successful attacks in the last few years..DID fit the profile.
Eric Rudolph, John Walker Lindh, and Timothy McVeigh don’t resemble islamic terrorists.
And they are all white, too.
And don’t give me that McVeigh wasn’t an Islamic terrorist. The victims of OKC are just as dead as those of 9/11.
wtf

wrong.
Why the hell would you play solitaire?
That game stinks.
Probably beats watching old, fat people on the new nudie-scanners, though…
This may be photoshopped, since the screen isn’t attached to an actual computer per-se, but instead to an ex-ray machine that contains a sealed. There would be no way to download a game onto it, since there are no cd or floppy ports. My company designs these machines (and the new nudie on too).
Wtf’s wrong with these peepz -_-”
They remind me, baby, of you.
What’s with the new moniker, chica?
I have teardrops in my eyes.
Me too – must be something about this thread.
I pulled on the thread and it all unraveled. Now all I have is silly string.
Maybe you can weave it into a net.
*creeps out of the shadows*
Good morning Failbloggers!
*goes on topic*
That can get someone solitaire-y confinement.
Hiya Shadow!
You’re such a card! I can see you’re up to your old tricks.
I give a hand for such a greeting *claps*
He deserves an award (hint-hint)
*hint-hints*
Oh you do? That’s cool, Jam.
The guys who check your boarding pass do this a fair bit. They are not constantly checking boarding passes so they need to do something to pass the time. Saw this exact same thing at Auckland airport last week,
That may be the most annoying picture I’ve ever seen!
You’ve never been to Lolcats then?
clearly shopped
OMG! They use Windows Vista!
its to work out which random person to check… you never know which card will come face up next… so its a fairly decent “random generator”… if he wasn’t playing, you’d accuse him or racism or something!
Terrorism is a constructed concept created by the military industrial complex. I think the only people who actually fit in as actual “domestic terrorists” are gang members. But that is a purely territorial concept in its own right. Feel free to inform mr of how stupid my views are
What about Detroit?
Seems fake to me.
LOL.. it look like fake but for laugh sake, i’ll pass
Better use of security PC: Minesweeper.
Amirite?!?!?
You guys, it’s the new software for the security scan.
Incredible… I would fire him instantly.
This is the “at gate” check in counter, not security
that dude got fired
This is totally photo shopped, they don’t even have any games downloaded onto the computers to play with
no wonder terrorist got through
OMG someone should’ve reported his/her ass for not keeping airport security up to standards! And they wonder how the bad people slip through….geesh
this is the sort of stuff news channels would pay to see
wrong, because they don’t report negative items pertaining to government union workers…
Actually, he’s just happy to see you.
The store where I work has five computers, not counting the registers. Every one of them has the games removed — no Minesweeper, no Solitaire, no nothing. Well, I guess you could play Hangman using Notepad — but that’s easier using an actual notepad.
Hilariously enough, it was probably technically illegal to take this picture.
I saw this on a cop car’s computer once.
Lamezia Airport in Italy…
Southern Italy… at least he was at work because usually in those places airport workers give their best at the bar…
ah, don’t you love how useless our post office wannabe security is?
They have job security. They have the power to take you in back and make you miss your flight. Especially the fat ones… I would have submitted this photo anonymously to several places. Pointing out how well our national security is being handled.
bunk a chika bunka chicka WHERES THE CHAPSTICK
it’s lamezia airport in italy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamezia_Terme_Airport
Nah. They at least deserve to have some little fun. Though Solitaire’s kinda lame. *Shrugs*
I’ve seen just the same in the control room of a nuclear power plant once. I still don’t know whether I should be really happy that they have so much time to play, thus no problems at all, or I should really worry, as they run a nuclear power station on an operation system that is not known for its stability.
Why do we consider travel a basic desire nowadays? In 2008, only 30 percent of trips over 50 miles were done for business – the rest- for pure pleasure. Work is nerve-racking, the family needs to be fed and money is and will always be a problem. Meanwhile, there are hot deals on flights, romance is in the air in Paris no matter the season and life is still waiting for you at the corner.
Travel always was a basic desire. These days there are more possible destinations that’s all…
this is a line to board a plane… you guys can do better than this
when a nigerian terrorist goes thru security unchecked, u know something’s wrong.
And this is why we need full body screening. It will solve the complacency of TSA agents by allowing them to look at us passengers naked. They’ll be too busy aroused or amused to be wasting their time playing solitaire.
Actually, that’s a desk at the gate, not necessarily related to security. They are, however, on international flights, required to check passports– therefore they fail.
ha ha no wonder the “intel didn’t get around to not let that terrorist on the plane” the security guy was in a tense game of internet checkers
National securityFAIL
obeying Obama FAIL
Quite obviously shopped…
Why do I have a feeling this was shot at LAX…….
Oh no big deal just a person walking around with a bomb…. now where was I… nine on ten ya
This is what happened in Munich yesterday!
I KNEW IT!!!
Now if they could just come up with an excuse for all the sh!t that TSA steals from passengers’ luggage…
ah, but no one ever knew if it was a solitare win or fail!
Anyone else notice that they’re Facebooking as well?
Let me guess…Keanu Reaves is the security guy!
Anyone else notice that they’re Facebooking as well?
Its look like that they have great job!

Hi there very cool blog!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I’ll bookmark your website and take the feeds additionally?I’m happy to seek out a lot of helpful information here in the publish, we want work out extra strategies on this regard, thank you for sharing. . . . . .
Don’t even know what to say on this topic. So much ideas are mixed in my head after reading it. Very problematic article I think
I was tired of being subjected to a full body “pat down” (why do they call it a pat down when it is really a rub down?) at the airport.
I have a hip replacement and have a card from my doctor stating this fact. Each time I fly out of Greenville/Spartanburg airport(GSP), I set off the walk through metal detector. Well, back in August, I removed all my jewelry, no metal was present on my body except the metal hip implant. As usual, I set off the metal detector. I offered to present my card from my doctor and they said they don‘t need it. I was subjected to a full body “pat down”. I asked why there was no hand held metal detector that could pinpoint the source of the alarm. The TSA agent said they do not use the hand held wand.
Then a couple weeks ago, I thought I would call the GSP airport and find out if there might be some other checkpoints that does use the hand held wand. When I spoke to a TSA agent, they stated “We choose not to use this equipment”. With this information I decided I’ve had enough.
I flew again 12/28 and thought I would speed the process along and wore a 2 piece bathing suit through security. I wore a summer dress through the line and as soon as I got up to the walk through metal detector, I took the dress off. Again no other metal on my body, and I set off the metal detector. I was planning on putting the dress back on after my screening.
Now the fun began. They took me aside and wanted me to go to a private screening room and I asked if the private room has video surveillance, they said no. I stated I wanted a video taping of my screening. Next a Greenville Policeman came over and asked why I am wearing underwear? Well, obviously he does not know the difference between swim wear and underwear. He also asked where I was from. I told him North Carolina and he said “you are in South Carolina and we don’t do this here” I told him that women, wearing bikinis, in LAX and Salt Lake City airport were let through security without pat downs and he said “well this is not LA or Salt Lake City”. He said he could arrest me for indecent exposure. What? Swim wear is indecent? I can wear the same thing to a pool or beach but can not wear any other place? Some of the clothes people wear out on the streets are more indecent than the swim suit I wore. He also stated “I am concerned you are not right in the head” so my wearing swim wear to prevent the groping is evidence of “not right in the head”?
I asked the screener why she can’t just “pat down” the areas that are covered by the swim suit and she stated that “We don’t know if you have some metal or explosives in a body cavity or under the skin” this is laughable. So the groping through clothing can detect this situation?
After about an hour, they said they could not screen me unless I had clothes on. They made me put my dress back on and groped me though the dress, even though the screener saw that I did not have anything but a 2 piece swim suit on. Crazy.
GSP does not have the body scanner as in other airports. I do not mind going through the body scanner since it avoids a “groping”. Also, at other airports, when the body scanner is down or they do not have one, I have been screened using a hand held wand that passes over areas of the body and if it goes off, they pat down only that area.
I feel that I am discriminated against because I have a joint replacement. Why is it I am forced to be subject to basically “feel up” every time I fly out of GSP? As I stated before, I would prefer a full body scan, but this airport does not have one. Why? I should have the right to not get groped because I want to fly. If I was outside the airport this kind of treatment would be considered assault and I would be treated as a victim, instead in this case the police threatening to arrest me.
Sure, I could always fly out of an airport that has this equipment, but when trying to find the cheapest and most convenient flights, this airport came up as the choice many times.
I am disgusted with the policeman’s attitude where it seems he made the rules what I should and should not wear through airport security. If there is acceptable wear through security, why is it not documented? I searched the TSA.gov web site for any rules regarding what can be worn and found nothing.
I think some guidelines should be developed that if a person chooses to go through security with swimwear, where it is obvious that there are not hidden weapons or outward metal then they should be given a different “pat down” than one with baggy clothing, excess clothing, etc. Ideally, use the hand held detectors.
Why is it an airport can “choose” what equipment to use to screen the passengers. I feel like I am being treated as a criminal each time I need to fly out of GSP, forced to get a pat down because they “choose” not to use this equipment.
As a tax payer, I feel that I am paying for this security at the airport, and therefore, should be able to avoid the groping hands of a stranger. I “chose” to wear my swim suit through security because I thought it would avoid this groping. They made up the rules that I can’t be screened unless I have my clothes on.
I am aware that there are necessary measures to insure the safety of travel, but if there is technology to avoid my personal space from being violated, then this technology should be used. The TSA agent said “Ma’am, you would make this a lot easier if you just let us do the “pat down”. Well, they would make it a lot easier if they got the right equipment to eliminate this embarrassing treatment.
