Hello, anybody here from Busan? I'll be landing there this Thursday and would like to get to know other ppl in the area.

I really could use some HELP on this next question though. What would you guys suggest is the best way to fly over with my DJ controler?

that's a link to pretty much show you how it looks. I can fit it in my carry on since I have one of those huge camping backpacks, but would that be a good idea? I'm worried that with the increased security that they're going to give me a hard time (especially since I'll probably bubble wrap it to keep it protected)

Any knowledge on this subject would be greatly appreciated!

TSA pat-down leaves Mich. man covered in urine
AP



ROMULUS, Mich. � A bladder cancer survivor from Michigan who wears a bag that collects his urine said the head of the Transportation Security Administration called to apologize for an airport pat-down that caused the bag to spill its contents on his clothing.

Tom Sawyer, a 61-year-old retired special education teacher, said the experience left him in tears before he caught a flight to Orlando, Fla., on Nov. 7.

"I was absolutely humiliated. I couldn't even speak," the Houghton Lake man told MSNBC.com.

Sawyer said TSA chief John Pistole called him Monday and apologized on behalf of the TSA. Sawyer told The Detroit News that he "very graciously" accepted Pistole's apology.

"Here I am, just an average citizen from a small town," Sawyer told the Detroit Free Press. "I told him, `I only want training for the agents on medical conditions.'"

Earlier Monday, Pistole said he was concerned about people such as Sawyer who have had uncomfortable experiences with agents. He told CBS' "The Early Show" that he had "great concern over anybody who feels like they have not been treated properly or had something embarrassing" happen.

Sawyer said that once he got through security, he changed his bag, but didn't have time to change his clothing and had to board the plane soaked in urine.

"I was embarrassed to death," he told the Free Press.

Sawyer was diagnosed with bladder cancer three years ago and had to have a procedure that left him with a urostomy bag to catch rerouted urine.

Claire Saxton, executive director of the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, said she's concerned Sawyer's story is indicative of a larger trend.

"TSA agents need to be trained to listen when someone tells them they have a health issue, because the one thing that Tom in his account talked about was he tried to explain and they just weren't even interested in listening," Saxton told The Associated Press.

"No one living with an 'ostomy' should be afraid of flying because they're afraid of being humiliated," she said.

you guys cry all you want. The system isn't perfect but it works. When I go to the airport, I'm thrilled to see big dudes with pissed off grins carrying weapons. I have no problem waiting in line or being put in a body scan if it means there is a greater chance that my plane will lift off and land safely. Anyone who doesn't like it can take the train. Anyone who doesn't want to fly into America can stay in Europe and watch soccer.

Of course everyone wants it to be better, more efficient. But right now, this is the way it is. The country is doing what it thinks best to secure the safety of the people flying. Certainly things will change and when they do this whole body scan thing might be written off as an expensive mistake, but perhaps it won't. How many explosive devices or weapons would it have to catch that would have otherwise made it through to prove itself as useful. 1?

Truth is, people always complain.

and to cite a singular occurrence in a system of millions as proof of anything is... well, that's just stupid. You should get a job on a cable news channel.
