Re: Jay hassled at airport for wearing BAKSHEESH! shirt
Jeffrey Goldberg's article in the November '08 issue of The Atlantic would suggest that due to the "security theatre" mindset at Homeland Security, Jay is probably less likely to get cavity searched due to that shirt. Make sure to catch the part about the author getting through security on a fake boarding pass, getting the "security squiggle" by a DHS pen, and getting all the way to the gate. Interesting relevant excerpt:
On another occasion, at LaGuardia, in New York, the transportation-security officer in charge of my secondary screening emptied my carry-on bag of nearly everything it contained, including a yellow, three-foot-by-four-foot Hezbollah flag, purchased at a Hezbollah gift shop in south Lebanon. The flag features, as its charming main image, an upraised fist clutching an AK-47 automatic rifle. Atop the rifle is a line of Arabic writing that reads THEN SURELY THE PARTY OF GOD ARE THEY WHO WILL BE TRIUMPHANT. The officer took the flag and spread it out on the inspection table. She finished her inspection, gave me back my flag, and told me I could go. I said, “That’s a Hezbollah flag.” She said, “Uh-huh.” Not “Uh-huh, I’ve been trained to recognize the symbols of anti-American terror groups, but after careful inspection of your physical person, your behavior, and your last name, I’ve come to the conclusion that you are not a Bekaa Valley–trained threat to the United States commercial aviation system,” but “Uh-huh, I’m going on break, why are you talking to me?”

And yes, that's a proud Texas conservative citing The Atlantic. Open-minded and curious does not belong to any one particular political credo.

It does seem pretty arbitrary...I once went to Dubai on business and the stamp in my passport (and maybe my beard) made every trip to the US for the next two years like "twenty questions" at the border....the temptation to look the guy in the eye and say (with my best foreign accent) "I visit America atomic facility for purpose of tourism" would have been overwhelming except that they never seem to have a sense of humour...

I'm sure it was more due to the pic of Lieberman than the writing.

I just wish you all could have the seen the rest of us standing there laughing at him. For ten minutes.
"This is the scene where I get shot," Bronson said. "I have these little squibs that explode to make it look like bullets are hitting." "Fascinating," said Bergman. "I never knew how they did that." "You mean," asked Bronson, "you don't use machine guns in your movies?"

We considered that. Then we figured they'd haul the lot of us off and do cruel things to us behind closed doors.

Obviously the drug dogs in Denver suck cause Jay and crew have to be one of the largest Speed cartels around.
Nice to see Jonny and Phil back at a race and on the forum, welcome back.

The 4XL might fit over my costume... But normally I wear a large.
That sucks. I really wanted one.
Yee-Haw 2010 "Most Heroic Fix" & "I Got Screwed" -2 trophies for 1 lap, but I took checkered on my lap.
Gator-O-Rama 2012 "Organizers Choice" -2 laps 1 trophy, but i still finished ahead of an E30
Yee-Haw 2013 No trophy -26 laps, I think I see a pattern here
Gator-O-Rama 2014 "Waiting for the Last Minute Call from the Governor Award" -who's counting? John
