September 25th, 2006seems illogical to me
We’re now allowed to carry-on liquids that: a) are less than four ounces, b) can fit in a one quart clear plastic bag and c) not explosive.
So here’s my question.
If you were a terrorist, wouldn’t you figure out how to put highly explosive liquids in, say, four or five little bottles and voila! 20 ounces of big boom?
Shhhh! Don’t say it out loud!

you are working under the assumption that anything related to ‘the war on terror’ is logical.

You really gotta ask yourself though…Who needs nail polish, nail polish remover, hair gel, etc. during an airplane flight. Mouth wash,I understand. Baby formulas, medicines in liquid form-those I understand. But make up and beaty products?? I say: Quit your whining, buy a bottle of water during your flight…Hell, buy an *effing* DRINK, and arrive ugly. Check into your hotel right away, take a nap and a shower. Then do your hair, make up and nails.
God, are people that SHALLOW??? That was what they showed in the quart-sized bag on the NEWS, by the way. *Effing* beauty products.

All I really want to know is, will the airline let me take my crack pipe and stash on board?

I don’t understand why they only use metal detectors- wouldn’t a plastic knife (hard plastic, sharp) be just as deadly (or at least be sufficient) as a metal knife?
I think that we should all have to strip as soon as we get to the airport, have a cavity search, put on one of those hospital gowns and slippers, and then be herded onto the plane without any carry-on baggage. And we shouldn’t allow anyone who looks middle-eastern-ish on the planes. People like George Hamilton and Bob Barker might accidentally be lumped into that category on account of their unusually deep tans, but hey, a few “mistakes” are part of the game.
Because the key to being happy and free is being really really really really really really really careful.

Connie… OK, true—good point.
Jen… lol. I realize they are only showing beauty products, but what about those people who don’t want to check a bag? Particularly those who travel on business, stay for two days and then come home? It’s so much easier to carry on a bag with everything you need (including makeup and shampoo), then to wait at baggage claim. (And stuff doesn’t get lost.)
Gramps.. um, no. They prefer you share the pilot’s. 😛
Moneyaker—lol. Oof. I hope not.

::shrugs shoulders:: Most hotels supply halfway-decent personal hygeine products, and the whole makeup thing…Mmm, well, I don’t wear much/any (mascara only on most days), so I don’t have much sympathy. I’d probably just say screw it and pick up more wherever I’m staying, and chuck it when I leave.
