Pete Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 This is crazy. My other half came back from Ireland airport the other day where they made everyone remove shoes and generally were VERY strick searching people as a couple of weeks before they'd let a load of people through with concealed weapons. This is fine in my book - but to spend extra resources doing this just seems like madness to me - http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=1944531&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Airports are a joke, I get "randomly" stopped & "randomly" searched EVERY time I go through passport control / x-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 If it stops another 9/11 I'm for the stop checks Absolutely, but I don't think a pirated DVD would cause much of a terror threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Absolutely, but I don't think a pirated DVD would cause much of a terror threat. they could fling um like ninja stars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Or just transfer them online. I noticed in that article they mention Mission Impossible 3 as a movie they caught people trying to record in the cinema after some staff training. Good luck on that one as the employees are some of the worst offenders... BTW. I have already seen MI3 on my home system.. For evaluation purposes of course.

Pete Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 BTW. I have already seen MI3 on my home system.. For evaluation purposes of course. I gave up watching pirated films, I've become far too much of a quality snob. I know some copies are unbelievably good, but I still would rather wait nowadays for surround sound etc. If you're into that this site is very good and rates movies based on audio/picture/overall quality - http://www.vcdquality.com/ Cinema is an expensive affair nowadays. Up to 20 quid for two of you by the time you've bought your popcorn and jumbo coke etc. That'd buy you a half decent meal out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Absolutely, but I don't think a pirated DVD would cause much of a terror threat. Are you kidding?!? Have you not seen.... FACT (federation against copyright theft) & their advert with the fat red bloke working in a smithies or something, with the background voice saying "Piracy funds organised crime & terrorism" I'm like you though, I wont watch pirated films as generally they're crap quality & if I'm going to buy a film, I'd rather wait a few weeks more & get a decent picture, case etc for a few quid more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
