So how's Irving pd doing after arresting a kid?

[svauto-erotic855]

My only question: did the guy deserve to get knifed?

3 Turkmen tried to rob me at knife point so I would say that they had it coming. Only one had a knife and I nearly killed him on the spot. The other two just got slashing cuts to their hands and forearms. I tried to make a police report but the police did not speak good english so I gave up and left. After a few days they put two and two together and since I was an American travailing abroad they got a red warrant issued for me that got me picked up the next time my passport was run.

Edit: You quoted my post before I could add the part that said "self defense is a crime in most European countries".

No I was not tried in the Hague. I was going through border control (back when Europe had boarders) and my name popped up for knifing a man (self defense is a crime in most European countries) and I got to see the inside of a very, very old jail for awhile. I was not in the pool business at the time.

Is this the story where you broke out and spent months walking across the continent in the middle of a war zone, or was that Africa or the Middle East?

[LANTIRN]

I was for several years. I was working for a mining company. My job was visiting rock quarries across the US. My monthly route usually involved 10 or more one-way flights. (a red flag for the TSA) Also these quarries usually blast on a daily basis so everything I owned was covered in ANFO dust. I constantly set of the bomb sniffers.

Took me two years to get a TSA variance.

That is very plausible and the kind of stuff you would expec them to flag, especially the one way flights since that was such a big deal right after 9/11. I was actually expecting gasser to throw in some off the wall scenarios about board members involving buying legal guns, discussions on here, and other things that don't actually put you on a no fly list.

Hah, of course. And I'm sure you represented yourself and won at the Hague for crimes against pool cleaning humanity?

I was once but they caught me pretty easily.

What makes you think anyone from this board would be on a terrorist watch list?

SVO is probably wanted by interpol.

Dude it wouldn't surprise me is several members of this board were on that list.
