found pressure cooker after something wrong with passport

[vontar]

"Initially, he said that he brought the pressure cooker for his nephew because pressure cookers are not sold in America," the complaint said.

 

I believe he is wrong on that, I believe they are still available as I brought one not very long ago.

My wife and I brought a pressure cooker home from Brazil in 2006. It was certain style that I have never seen for sale in the US.

OHHH FFS..seriously?..they going to ban or have banned pressure cookers?

That was a dry run, or whatever the term is.

 

Pressure Cooker Act of 2013. Just wait! Someone like Frank Lautenberg or Dick Durban will present some

cutesy pie bill like this. Women of America will take up arms against the federal government because a lot of

them can food, and this will be the ultimate tyranny. :D

Do I sense a rally on the Capital steps with men and women wearing aprons and "open carrying" pressure cookers?

 

I mean, they arrested the guy because he had a page missing from his passport, and was in possesion of a pressure cooker.

We need a law banning any kind if cooking device other than 10" or smaller pans. No one needs 3 quarts to cook a deer

[Guest Emtdaddy1980]

If somebody manages to build a bomb out of a bullshit politician can we get a ban on them? Edited May 15, 2013 by Emtdaddy1980

Oh, they aren't illegal, per se.  He just couldn't explain, to the authorities' satisfaction, why he had a perfectly legal object in his luggage.

 

Good thing he didn't also have a deep fryer and one of those giant Toblerone bars - they would probably have tacked on charges for violating Michelle Obama's health nazi initiatives.

As long as it keeps the kids safe and us when we travel, why complain?

quick, someone built a bomb out of a politician and maybe they will ban themselves before they read it.  :D

 

Actually maybe we can just get politician's reclassified as destructive devices.  They sure do a number on anything they touch.

Ms. Kraut. It's been ridiculous for much longer than this.

[Hershmeister]

Clearly we need a ban on High capacity pressure cookers. Or maybe just a ban on lids.

[Dustbuster]

they should be banned,especially since ronco introduced the "chicken magician" ......of course aclu will jump in soon because the pressure cooker is an item of religious symbolism.............

I just had an idea.  It seems that virtually every time a politician or group of politicians want to ban something, restrict liberty or take away rights, they say that they are doing it, "For the children."  Well, I have just had an epiphany.  It seems to me that if there were no children then they couldn't be  harmed, injured or traumatized.  Obviously, then, the solution - a solution that would take care of a large group of issues with one, simple solution, is to BAN CHILDREN!

 

I wonder how hard it would be to get sponsors for such a bill.

Funny, and fun to make fun of, yes.

But I *want* the security guys to open up pressure cookers.   That makes sense.  It makes a LOT MORE SENSE than most of the other things they do, actually.  Ban them? No.  But scan them, same as any other container?  Yes.   And if the lid is ON it and closed up tight, it needs to be treated with the caution due a bomb.   KISS method.... new rule for flying --- all pressure cookers shall have the lid NOT on and sealed for travel.  Thank you. 

Problem solved.
