The cop was a douche. On the other hand, you should have had your car towed away immediately for being stupid enough to leave it double-parked in a no-standing zone at the airport.

You LEFT YOUR CAR, unattended, at the curb in the loading and unloading zone and entered the airport. Who does that? Haven't you noticed that even if you sit there IN your car to wait for someone, you usually get yelled at within 30 seconds? 9/11 or not, you deserved towing.

If we don't stand in no-standing zones, the terrorists win. Bravo, Ted!

The cop may have been an asshole, but he wouldn't have been an asshole if you hadn't been an asshole first.

Maybe you oughta get that asshole lawyer Pepin Tuma to argue your case, cause he hates asshole cops, too. You two have much in common.

If there's one thing that annoys me more then anything it's douches who ignore the no standing rule at the airports. The only thing worse is when a douche pulls in front of where you are standing waiting to be picked up and stands blocking the car attempting to pick you up.

He should have given you a ticket.

liam, you just might be right. but, unfortunately, sarcasm doesn't play well when written on the internets.

Dave2, I'm pretty sure that TomHandy is joking. Isn't that a line from Family Guy?

Now imagine that you were a Hispanic U.S. citizen. You'd spend the next three hours with ICE yelling at you that they're going to send you back to Mexico.

Dave,

Pretty sure TSA, but we've put a call in. Will update if/when the media folks get back to us.

TomHandy -- Stop giving terrorists so much credit, please. They don't deserve it. And 9/11 did NOT change everything. It didn't change the Constitution. It didn't change our borders. It didn't change or destroy our currency. It didn't bring invading foreign troops into our cities and towns. It didn't destroy our local, state, or federal government structures. It didn't plunder our treasury. It didn't burn down the White House. It didn't cause a U.S. civil war. It didn't destroy our schools, hospitals, companies, museums, parks, etc. It didn't ruin our environment. It didn't etc. etc. etc. What we do to ourselves is another matter entirely.

30 seconds to leave? I hope you left in a fog of tire smoke. You know what they say, nothing worse than a bored cop.

I may be wrong, but are you suggesting that 9/11 didn't change everything? Because 9/11 changed everything.

Was it TSA or MWAA Police?
