LOL!

Just yesterday, I saw the security guards using mirrors to watch for things under the cars at a mall. And the check at the entrance is usually just a formality. They would run their detectors over our jeans pockets, their detectors would beep coz of the cell phones, but they don’t bother to verify it. Anyone can get a bomb inside.

BTW, this reminds me: My friend and I would get past the security check in malls and ask each other loudly, “They didn’t spot the bomb, did they?”

This happens EVERYDAY at work! The guy religiously checks our bags. Once I asked him, what he checks for, he told me, bombs/classified printouts. I was interested to know more. When I asked him, how he distinguishes the “classified” documents, from the “personal” documents, he replied, saying the former had a big CLASSIFIED stamp on them (which ofcourse, is as stupidly Bollywoodish as it can get)!

Cheers,

@sree: That’s a nasty thing to say! It’ll get you in trouble one of these days

@krishna, varun: Thanks

@mottled: And to you! Thank you.

@rd: You underestimate the guards. They too have a secret “sniffing out the bad guy” power. Just like the cops when they throw up a traffic barrier so that only one car can pass at a time. Then they can sit back and relax, maybe have a cigarette. Cause you KNOW when a terrorist passes by, there secret power will start tingling.

@rahul: Was it bad for you too?

hehehe….good one bro!!:D

i used to get pissed. these morons have SUCH attitude. people do three things. get pissed at the perceived insult of being searched and start yelling at them. OR start joking with them. OR ignore them. at least you’re not the only one they’re groping!

i alternate between all three resulting in a fluctuating blood pressure everytime i enter a mall or a theatre.

fun tweets. not blogging overkill

@abhiroop: I propose a Fourth way of dealing with the insult of being frisked - Start Enjoying it. Sexually.Or at least pretend to..

“Aint you gonna check my back pocket Mr Guard?”
“That’s not where I hide the naughty stuff”

…

..

.

Oh God what have I done

BHUSADDIS ftw!!

I just invented 5 new gaalis with the word BHUSADDI in them.

*smug & happy*

heh. whatte solution!! Actually, aapki baat mein dum hai. Like, there’s your average security guard. He starts a pat down search. As he gets lower, I close my eyes and start moaning softly. He WILL shit his pants man!! Bye bye frisking!

maxdavinci // October 29th, 2008 at 10:28 pm

well i think it helps to weed out 5% of cases who drive in with ticking bombs.

But yea defn lame and very easy to beat!

Saad Akhtar (Author) // October 29th, 2008 at 10:48 pm

@abhiroop: So you like Bhusaddis? Hehe. They’re mostly gone now. Sad.
Also, before you get too intimate with the security guards, remember it’s still a criminal offense in India to be of a different sexual orientation. Not to mention it also corrupts the minds of the India youth. The minds of the Indian youths get corrupted very easily.
Note: If anyone is confused about 1. What a Bhusaddi is, and 2. How is it related to homosexual tendencies… well 1. It’s a small insect about which I twiterred (not tweeted, that’s lame) sometime back. Link. And 2. It has nothing to do with being an ass bandit.

@maxdavinci: I agree. I’m not against frisking and car checks. I’m all for it. If cars are being checked outside a mall… I feel safe going to that mall. My point is, it’s not done properly. I know, I know.. thorough checking will only create longer lines, but lame half ass checking doesn’t really do anything. BTW, I sure hope it’s not as high as 5%

a lot depends on the clothes you wear. a friend of my dresses real nice and never gets frisked at malls. we had gone for a movie and they let her by. when questioned why they did not check her the lady security guard replied ” itna accha kapda pehenke bomb thodina phodenge”. hahaha….i laughed my arse off before being checked for weapons….

@satyajit: Everyone knows well dressed rich people don’t create problems. It’s us peasants.

@rohan: Thank You. So you noticed the deteriorating quality of the last few? I guess everyone did, but was too polite to say anything
16
Rohan // October 30th, 2008 at 1:22 pm

Yeah, I don’t know if i’t’s deteriorating quality or personal preference. I prefer the slightly extreme ones with excellent punchlines like the one above. Keep em coming, am addicted!

Guru // October 30th, 2008 at 5:37 pm

Haha.. I wondered the same thing many times. Btw, it must indimidate a few people to have latex gloved securitymen “examining” you
21
Saad Akhtar (Author) // October 30th, 2008 at 5:41 pm

@guru: Latex Gloved Securitymen examining you? DUDE! Where exactly did you go????? :O Sure as hell wasnt a movie theater!

Arfi // October 30th, 2008 at 5:51 pm

Ah. So you haven’t had your NWA moment yet.

Paavani // November 5th, 2008 at 11:29 am

Very nicely presented!

wonder, if there is any solution to rectify this.

Vaibhav // November 10th, 2008 at 7:19 pm

About how nicely dressed don’t get frisked. In the Ambi mall in Gurgaon, if you buy PVR Gold tickets, and use the entrance on the top floor to get in, not only do you not get frisked, you don’t even pass through a sensor.

Oh, and you think mall security was bad. Check out what I blogged today: http://blog.gadodia.net/travelogue-the-farce-called-airport-security/
