THAT if freaking nuts!!! :D

I agree. Not sure why there is this notion that necroposting is a bad thing, unless of course it's done purely to choke up a forum. But it's possible to do that with new posts too. To me, the 'law' about necroposting is one of the two stupidest internet rules. The other one being the law against too frequent posts in a discussion, LOL.

We're in the middle of a terrorist war with a new set of rules in play.

Since backpacks , or other bags, are often used to carry bombs every
store in the nation should demand that they be checked at the door to
protect both business and customers. The freedom to walk in a store
with a bag is now gone.

These are the rules of war today.

Quit your whinning and get used to it as the old days are gone forever.

Bombs are also strapped to bodies. i guess you advocate that stores perform strip searches..

That is such a load of fertilizer that comes from a male bovine.

Popular shoplifting stereotypes were challenged in the UF study, in which researchers covertly observed 1,365 shoppers in an Atlanta drug store with closed-circuit television cameras. Slightly more than 8 percent of the people who entered the store stole an item.

Holy freakin' cow! 8%?

Jeez! Where was this drugstore? The worst neighborhood in Atlanta?

i never tell cyclist to drop the bag at front cause i find it Hypocritical that i bike to work and bring a back pack through the store to the back. and i often open and close the store i work at. sure theft is 95% of the reason why packs are not allowed in but they usually stay on the back. those recycled reusable bags! now that is another story!

I cant recall being targeted specifically when I bring a bag in to a store (I usually have a large bag within a book bag when grocery shopping. Most stores in my area dont have bag checks specifically. Those that do I obviously comply.
I've been stared down by security guards once or twice but I don't really thing Im suspicious looking.
Mostly, I stick with one or two stores and most of the checkout area people recognize me.
