Hey, he stole my idea

Except I'm unwilling to waste a perfectly good airplane, my variation included a Marine with size 12 boots and an open cabin door.

Hitler did the same thing to the Jews.

I see a trend here.

You know the funny thing of the Patriot Act is that I'm actually watched by the government, the reason being that I'm an Iranian immigrant with a very foreign-sounding name. Honestly, what could you hope to learn from listening in on my phone conversations and looking at my Internet history? "Recipes for Falafal"? "How to fix a detached shingle"?:rotfl:

Hopefully nothing but who knows? You're certainly a bigger potential security risk than my 77 year old mother. Have federal agents busted down your door and ransacked your house? If not what are you complaining about?
