Boarding Passes

This first post being late at night, I'm going to keep it short. I'm still working on setting things up around here.

I got an idea today. You ever notice how some boarding passes at airports don't put the year in the date? If you printed off an extra pass then saved it, you could go back to the airport exactly a year later with the extra pass and the date would be the same. With that in mind, you could pass through security with it and they most likely wouldn't figure that it's invalid. Unless they had scanners to scan the bar code on the pass, they couldn't figure out the year. And as far as they're concerned, you have plane to catch.

I bring this up because I like to explore buildings and layouts and such. I like to see where they can take me; but ever since some idiots did their thing on 9/11, you can't get through security anymore without a boarding pass. And the sterile part of an airport is one of my favorite places to explore; mainly because I like to see the planes. I have this thing for planes; they just seem so much fun to pilot. This brings me to say that I actually plan on going through pilot training in a few years so I could fly those big airliners. I could pass through security all I want since I'd be working in there anyway. :D

I'll explain more on my passion for the sky in a later post. Right now it's two in the morning and I have Youth Conference in a few hours, so I'm going to bed.
Toodles!

I am amazed at how much you sound like me when you write, Matt. I never noticed before! Right down to the "toodles." Nice.

You already know my stance on using year-old boarding passes. You'll likely get arrested, but there's really only one way to find out (well, more than one, but I like there being one so I have entertainment). Really, the hardest part for you would be printing the extra pass without doubling your baggage. You remember what happened in Manchester. ;-)
