I’m flying to Missouri today to go to my 20th high school reunion. I come back on Sunday. There is internet access in the dorm, so I should be able to post. Since it’s such a short trip, I’ve decided to attempt to carry my luggage instead of checking it. I’m very nervous because I’ve not carried-on since the new liquid restrictions. Will I screw up, and the TSA will beat me? Will I be detained in a small windowless room for 72 hours? Will I be permanently added to a no-fly list?
In case you’re reading this, TSA: I LOVE what you do. I do NOT think the liquid restrictions on carry-on items are ridiculous. I do NOT think it’s humiliating and unnecessary for me to remove my belt and my shoes and walk through security like a criminal. I do NOT think it’s a massive waste of money and man power to search grandmas and teen-aged girls for illegal fingernail clippers.
Thank you.
What the …? Where’s your classic flying photo? You promised!
We’ll miss you buddy!
At least you don’t have to explain that you’re wearing an underwire bra!
…or do you? 😉
That gave me a chuckle Karla!
Don’t they know that MacGyver could build a weapon out of a tiny toothpaste tube and a pair of contacts? Granted, it would only shoot toothpaste in your eye, but still…
MacGyver was the bomb… or built the bomb… or something.
Might it not also shoot contacts into your mouth?
Isn’t it 3oz. of liquid total per baggie? So, take an extra baggie just in case.
Because, you know, if your stuff is in two baggies you couldn’t possibly open the baggies mid flight to mix the contents and create a toxic gas to poison everyone in the plane. Becasue, afterall, it’s in TWO baggies, not one.
But maybe you could only do that if you were a grandma or teenage girl.
I was thinking the same thing … 3 oz. total.
Which I don’t get anyway, because don’t you think that 3 oz. of good, high test “stuff”, would do the trick?
No, sillies, it’s containers no larger than 3 ounces… for each liquid. All contained in a clear baggie. Normally people carry those big zip-locks
“… search Grandmas & teenagers for illegal clippers” -HA!!
Have a great time “Mr. Fun-Is-My-Middle-Name”!! I hope everyone recognizes you.
STOP THE PRESSES! Whose picture is THIS?!?! Not our dear Peggy, I know. Inquiring minds need to know!
So, ‘dja’ make it in one piece, toothpaste and all?
Hehe … he’s from movie. Don’t you recognize him?
Go on … take a guess … anyone …. it’s a classic btw.
The kid from “Goonies”.
I knew immediately when I saw the photo. I loved that movie, and my kids have also really enjoyed it. I wonder what that actor ever did…
I’m sure you all know what the main character went on to play…
Yes, Brad made it in one piece! I can’t speak for the toothpaste, though.
Bad breath at a reunion?? Doesn’t sound so good!
how are you replying, Karla? Do you have a computer? Brad can’t post because his laptop won’t connect to the web.
We’ve got our laptop here. We have an ethernet cable to connect…
Shaving cream?
Toothbrush? Or did you leave your teeth at home, old man?
Brad uses electric. He got that habit from our Dad. I didn’t know that any man still used cream and a razor until I started dating Harold! 😀
