Another good reason to be glad AOD was last weekend. There's no way I'd even consider flying for the next six months. Fuck them all.

*thinks* No, I didn't take anything liquid on the flight - neither of us did, come to think of it.

Hello, these guys are smarter than the people you hire to get by when you say you're providing "security." Asswipes.

I'd say camwyn has it in one - we should all fly naked - but the idea of stripping (literally) my last bit of defenses away in the sake of sheer, fucking laziness on the part of the FAA and "Homeland Security" (fucking joke) just chaps my hide.

Or is Joe Lieberman just being a sore loser? I understand Karl Rove contacted his office yesterday and offered any and all support the Bush camp can throw him. Wonder if he said yes.

That, would make sense.

I'm considering flying in about...oh...2 weeks

[betnoir.livejournal.com]

Sweet Baby Jeebus, that's right!

Everyone coming in for WorldCon...

And the UK is where most congoers from outside the US come from...

..or at least without pants.

I see this as a potential plot for a future South Park episode as flamable pants were found on evil terrorists.

But yeah - this crap about 'all fluids/gels/pastes' is getting WAY out of hand.

it would be that day before I fly to NC...I was all excited of having all my bags packed ahead of time...

and now i have to repack them. and my checked luggage is already filled to the brim...(though I did not know that I couldnt have any aerosol cans in checked baggage so I will at least have to remove that)

I am serioulsy annoyed I will have to buy toiletries and water if I want them in flight at the airport store after the check point

I can't take a new, sealed, fresh-from-the-store bottle of water or whatever through the checkpoint...someone needs a few braincells between the ears, quick.

[luscious-purple.livejournal.com]

Ah, but if you buy water at the airport store after the check point, you will have to drink the entire bottle before boarding.

Trains really are a more civilized method of long-distance travel.

How about this. From now on, everyone who gets on an airplane must be butt naked with no luggage. That will solve all our problems!

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

It's just that Amtrak is gutted these days - try getting anywhere by a train right now. It's pathetic.

MY EYES

[histoire68.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but nobody will blow up the plane! Surely you're willing to put up with a minor inconvenience in order to not have airplanes blown up?

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

MY EYES

[histoire68.livejournal.com]

Tell the truth now, are you against blowing up airplanes or are you for it?

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

MY POOR FUCKING EYES

I'm cackling at this particular exchange, between the posts and the icons. Way to lighten up a down day.

I'm not even addressing the SSecurity issue.

[murphymom.livejournal.com]

As I understand it, one can take an open bottle of water, provided one drinks from the bottle in front of the TSA agent. Back in '99, that was El Al's policy...

Re: flying nekkid

[unclejimbo.livejournal.com]

Yes, and they did do the exploding(flammable) pants episode on Mythbusters not so long ago... It all fits...

Curse those terrortwits... :P

[dracowayfarer.livejournal.com]

And lucky me, I'm flying in a month.

*LOL*
