possibly Scientology is weirder.
Oh, by far.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Speaking as an atheist, I think evangelical atheism is the weirdest thing ever.
Well, when I was in my angry atheist stage in college, I was part of an atheist group that did stuff you could call "evangelising." Nothing as wacky as this, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've always gotten patted down in the airport...chair and metal detectors, you know. ALWAYS a giant deal.
The couple times when I was using a wheelchair when travelling, they really didn't pat me down much at all. It was weird.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't think it's the chair--I think Erika has a "Danger to Authority" glint in her eye.

I, on the other hand, completely fail to.
Which I'm okay with.

I had a newly-bought box of Kodak film set off the bomb detectors once. No idea what chemical Wal Mart was spraying its racks with to give that kind of a false positive reading.

The last time I flew they swabbed mt digital camera and iPod at the Halifax airport. It always has the tightest security. Things get checked there that never get checked elsewhere.

Sara, how did you get to see? I'm always curious.
The set up at the Killeen airport made it hard to not see and at BWI when I get through security before my bag. Easy enough to stand off to the side and look over their shoulder.
And if you aren't supposed to be able to do that, well.... there is a reason I don't the rules seriously. So inconsistently applied as to basically render them a joke.

Believe me, I've tried, but the baggage roller thing is so long that you'd need to walk yards at LAX and then back around to see the screens.
Now, if I could travel with someone else in a separate line, maybe we could time it so...but I never fly with other people.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yeah, I skipped the angry atheist stage. Grew up Methodist. It's just tough to work up a head of steam over nice northeastern liberal Methodists, you know?
