Good luck with travelling, Dana.
See, I try to picture this in my head and think, "Tangents are linear."
This is exactly why I tacked on the "whatever".
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

If I only had a brain...
The U.S. seems to be slightly less stringent -- they aren't banning purses, for instance.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Frank, here's the LJ post:
Nothing exciting, but I did need to mark the occasion in blogging. (:

Since the only thing I carry on a plane is a large purse chock full of now-contraband (and hell, a lighter. The only place that was confiscated was when I accidentally left security in Kansas City!) I'm pretty much hoping they chill the fuck out before I get on a plane again. I get pissy about buying a bazillion overpriced, undersized bottles of water in order to stay hydrated.

Thrive to spite them
Speaking as someone who works in an airport (but not for an airline), at least here, US airlines are allowing carry on luggage as usual.
However, they are banning all liquids and gels. This includes: beverages, make up, perfumes, lotions, creams, toothpaste, over the counter medicine and anything with a similiar consistency.
Baby formula/breast milk/juice in bottles are allowed. Liquid perscription medicine is allowed if the name on the bottle matches the passengers name.
The choice for these things are: put it in checked luggage or throw it away.
Some airlines are suggesting that passengers not take carry on luggage just to make things easier for the passenger.
Some places may be doing searches.
It sucks that this going on and it puts an extra strain on everyone but the airlines and airports are putting passengers safety first.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Dear lord, people, we should just open up Buffista General and be done with it. (Instead of jello, we'd give people laptops and a stack of DVDs when they wake up after surgery. Instead of those little plastic ID bracelets, everyone would get a personalized tiara.)If we had Buffista General, I would actually go to the doctor more willingly.
Especially if they had large bottles of water. I don't (want to) be anywhere without one. It's the former desert rat in me.

I want to see my Hubby in a tiara. (he has cervical vertebra surgery in November--which was the earliest they could get him in, because his neurosurgeon said ASAP. It's always lovely when a doctor looks at an x-ray and says, "Schedule him now." But maybe it will do the job this time)

Ann, that's a ferret.

Ah, ok, so the reaction is different. I just hadn't been able to find anything on the U.S.

This is pretty much what's in my purse. Water, several lipsticks and balms, a bottle of lotion, Rescue Remedy, my little pill jars with at least six meds of various degrees of prescription and OTC in it, a lighter (I'm a little bit pyro and a little bit rock and roll), nail clippers and that might be all of the contraband.

Does any one know where I can find clip art of the intenational do not sign (circle with hash mark) for some reason I can't find it anywhere and it's driving me nuts. I need to make a flyer asap.
As a last resort, use this.
