Freedom Bags?

http://www.freedom-bags.com/

Probably an interesting link but I'd rather have a Lounge discussion about this.

To me, this is the most ridiculous idea ever. I've been on the tube since the bombings (and shootings) and, despite what people might say, its pretty tense. Everyone is clutching onto their luggage and walking around very causiously. Even if people are late for a train, they won't run!

Would these bags help? HAHA, don't make me laugh. Ok yes, it does say "I don't have a bomb", but it also says "Look at all the expensive things that I'm carrying". Very loudly. If these things take off I see pickpocketing going up x10. Its already bad enough without people advertising what they've got with them.

I plan to do a short podcast about this and more

 

What about freedom clothes?

 

I thought it was some sort of anti-French thing, like freedom fries and freedom kissing.

 

You must not live near ugly people.

 

You could have freedom glasses; To block offensive freedom clothes.

 

There is a line of purses made of clear vinyl here in the US. I don't get it, either. These things must be for people who carry nothing worth anything, but I can't see where someone carrying...say, a laptop...would use it.

 

They would actually be worse than useless. Look at the picture. He could easily have 5 pounds of plasic explosive hidden in there.

If people want to feel secure, they should take a statistics course. It's the only way I get on an airplane...

 

I think it's an effort in capitalism with possibly good intentions at its base; though a moot point in my opinion.

 

Oh boy.....who would want to display the fact they read The Sun anyway?

Taking the point further...freedom cars and freedom houses next??? So what's so free about having to put your whole life on display?

Just a thought.......

Freedom thongs!

 

ROFL HAHA

That would be TMI in some cases

 

kodo, that can be nasty ,very nasty. . .
you city folk and your skinny women. . .


how about reducing terror by not blown stuff up
that would work. .really good

 

I knew a lady who worked in a high end department store. I cannot remember if it was Macy's or Nortdstrom's. she liked the clear bag as there was never a question on when she placed it near her work area as opposed to in a locker where they had previous "mysterious disappearances." It also removed all fingers of accusation if something was missing since the cameras and security could open view what she carried.....

 

Goldie get 2 in case one gets stolen, in fact, wait a while and you'll get them buy one get one free

 

Which makes sense for that very limited application. However, the rest of the general public carries things in their purses they'd rather the world didn't see as they walk down the street.

If it were me in that situation, I'd leave my purse locked in the trunk of my car so there were no issues either way.

 

If you were a theif, would you rather go into someones bag and hope to find something worth somthing, or look at someones bag and see a Compaq Prestadio 1200 Laptop ready for the taking. nb i have no idea if that model actually exists!

In any case, you could easily hide a pretty devastating bomb in, say, a packet of biscuits.

Nah, it's a completley stupid product, for all of the above reasons. If you think that thieves wouldn't take advantage of the selling point, and that it would stop terrorists from using them, then you are clearly very naive.

 

I like and don't like that idea. There are some, including me , that should not wear "freedom clothes!" However, for those that should, hmmmmmmmmmmm.......

By the way Goldie, where do you find these sites?

 

Americans gave up civil liberties in the name of "freedom." Items such as this say the Brits are next on the clampdown.

 

I think maybe I will adopt that attitude / philosophy as well Halo! Hope you don't mind.http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Why not just tie all your luggage on a long piece of string and drag them behind you. If it don't explode or otherwise go off, it aint a bomb.

Clingwrap clothing would work too. Paint faces half blue and sceram "Freedom!!!" That will show folks you're patriotic (and idiotic), and therefore can't be aterrorist.

(...Yep, I'm joking!)

 

An ex-bf of mine used to literally wrap himself head to toe in cling film before setting off on a long motorcycle ride on a very rainy English day. And before anyone asks, yes...he did leave a "window of opportunity" for those essential moments

 

YUK!

 

Funny you should say that. A guy I knew used to wrap clingwrap around his abdomen and run along the beach and stuff when he wanted to get rid of his flabby stomach. Seems like the wrap acts as a mini-sauna. Welp, it seemed to work, anyway.

 

You people are sick, twisted, and god knows what else!

 

I was just thinking of Freedom Grab Bags, that way you know ahead of time what is in the bag, before you grab them.

 

You are sick! But I like it!

 

Please don't ask! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

 

You are still twisted!

 

Hehe...sorry to inform you, but your buddy didn't lose weight...just water temporarily

 

You people are twisted! Sick! Etc!

But I love you!

 

No, it's me, I'm nor that crazy!

Yep I agree, he lost craploads of water and used to replace it when finished exercising, but over time, the fat got burnt off pretty quickly too. I thought he was a Loon too, but it did get results.

 

I'm lost so I'm out!

 

Clingfilm stops chaffing too. Especially when its wet. Masking tape over the nipples helps too (apparently, I've never really had the occasion to find out )

 

Nah! Just that thing Lev mentioned reminded me of the other foo' with the plastic wrap. All I know is that the weight fell off real quick. Probably a combination of factors, including exercise.

I had the stitches removed from my foot yesterday (yipee!), and got rid of the crutches (double yipee!). Still pretty sore, though. I'm hobbling about with a big sponge bootie thingy on my right foot. I'm a little more mobile than the last two weeks, at least. (And the rednecks moved out - Ye-har! )

 

I think it's an effort in capitalism with greed playing off fear at its base. And its just plain goofy.

 

Wal-Mart required their female employees to carry their stuff in clear purses back in the mid 90's - probably still do - to prevent shop lifting/employee theft. Really flattering to have to expose your tampons, etc. to public scrutiny

 

i have absolutely nothing to say on the subject, is that a first? i keep trying to think of something smart to say about see through hand bags and nothing springs to mind. im not at all sure that most people would want to see the contents of my purse though.

 

Man....if I ever found myself in that wierd enforced situation I would fill my clear purse with all sorts of wierd crap just to do peoples heads in

 

Oh yeah. I'd start carrying kitchen utensils, cat treats, random things I picked up off the ground... That would be FUN! Too bad I was overqualified to work there (I applied this summer, long story) or I'd have been able to play the "what's she carrying today" game! LOL

Yet another reason to hate Wal-Mart. How incredibly insulting. What did they make the men do?

 

good point

 

Transparent pants?
