I don't know how exactly it's portrayed in the book (never had to read it, thanks to people like you!), but the most you'll often have to do is ID yourself at the gate and get buzzed through. Your identity is vouched for by the pilot flying the aircraft; your essentially flying on his or her security clearance. <br />Not that I'm eager to give James any credit for this one. I highly doubt she spent hours phoning up FBOs and Homeland Security personnel to make this scene as authentic as possible...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903444.post-50487867108132643062015-02-07T02:58:48.733-06:002015-02-07T02:58:48.733-06:00"Congratulations, Einstein, argon IS an eleme..."Congratulations, Einstein, argon IS an element! One of the noble gases on the right hand side of your periodic table, a fact I know without looking it up because it's a common element everyfuckingbody has heard of, and which is commonly used as a fire suppressant in server rooms because it doesn't damage the equipment like a water suppression system would."<br /><br />~Okay, THAT hurt my feelings. I'm 34 years old and have never heard of argon before this very minute, nor did I know there was such thing as a fire suppressant. Is that like being fire retardant? I honestly don't know. I chose not to take chemistry in high school (yes, it's a choice in some schools, believe it or not) but that doesn't automatically make people like me stupid. Now, if Ana had been talking about oxygen or helium and wondering if they're a gas, THEN I would call her stupid. None of us chooses when or where or how we will receive all of our knowledge, and you certainly can't opt to learn about something you don't even know you don't know about. Somehow I went 34 years without ever hearing of argon or "fire suppressants." It happens. I know a man in his 70's who had never heard of Anne Frank before I told him who she was just last year. Sometimes it just happens that way.Nunya Bizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02644949453313887907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903444.post-32763543418438945102013-09-17T16:17:20.293-05:002013-09-17T16:17:20.293-05:00Can you please stop calling stuff "retarded&q...Can you please stop calling stuff "retarded" in these posts?
