CATSA . They were bigger and stronger but they agreed that they were wrong !

Canadian Air Transport Security Authority have agreed that their operatives were wrong to confiscate my perfumes . ( Original story Power Corrupts here )
Apparently they did not follow the procedures that they should have and therefore I have been compensated for my loss .
Here is their final letter on the subject which is now closed .
It took a letter and an hour on the phone but I do feel that they did their best to deal with the situation .

    I'm sorry that you and your family had such a hard time with airport security. Please come and join us at Boycott Flying ... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boycott-Flying/126801010710392

    We have been researching this idiotic agency for the past several months, and things are only going to get far worse, if we don't stand up and collectively fight them.

    In the US, TSA/DHS has already implemented these searches on public highways, at the Super Bowl, train stations, bus stations, and subway stations. Plans are in place to further deploy them to transit stations, all sporting events, all public gatherings, shopping malls, and even our children's schools. We soon won't be able to go anywhere, or do anything, without having an x-ray or grope first.

    Now, with the new border merger, these same tactics will soon be coming to Canada. Harper and Obama have also signed an agreement that our military forces are now interchangeable, which means that we Canadians can be arrested on our own soil by US military patrolling here.

The S.T.EN. Gun

“ We will never surrender !” France fell to the German Blitzkrieg in May 1940 . The retreating British Army ended up being rescued from the beaches of Dunkirk by a flotilla of little ships leaving behind much of their equipment . A German invasion was expected ! Winston Churchill the British prime minister made his famous “ we will fight them on the beaches – we will never surrender ! “ speech and the Battle of Britain was on ! The UK desperately needed submachineguns . The Government ordered well made expensive Thompsons from the still neutral United States but there was never enough available . In order to rapidly equip a sufficient fighting force to counter the threat of invasion , the Royal Small Arms Factory , Enfield ( North London ) was commissioned to produce an alternative quickly and in large numbers . Whats in a name S.T.En. There Major R. V. Shepherd OBE and Mr. Harold John Turpin came up with the Design which became

Bonny and Clyde and the Browning Automatic Rifle

Bonnie and Clyde and the BAR ! Clyde Barrow, holding a Browning automatic rifle. BAR's could fire a twenty-shot magazine loaded with armor-piercing ammunition in under three seconds. During the depression of the 1930's in the USA criminals were looked at in a different way by many of the people who had been victimized and impoverished by the rich bankers and the emerging powerful corporations. Many people saw them as people driven to the edge that were only taking back what was stolen from them and striking back at a society and Government that let the Depression cause so much harm to so many . Two of the most famous criminals of that time were Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow . They were known to be quite skilled with their weapons, and unlike most criminals, they practiced with them and maintained them . Sadly they are considered to be responsible for the deaths of at least Nine law enforcement officers and five civilians during

501 NE 4th street - Plumbing

  Drainage     The first thing I have found strange is the constant requirement for testing at every stage but here with the building being largely wooden it does make sort of sense . A  minor fault in the plumbing could lie undetected otherwise within the walls and only surface once damp damage had become extensive and be very costly to repair . Thus it is required that once the drains have been run throughout the building frame they are filled completely with water to ensure their soundness . I took the wise precaution of making up a screw in fitting with a pressure gauge and an inflation valve to test the pipes with air first as once the system was full of water it would be time consuming and difficult to get the water out and to dry where necessary to effect repairs .     First things first - all the drainage flows within the house in a trunk and branch layout . The main 4 inch drain had already been tested and laid  under the basement floor . There are tables to show how
