Strega is me. I just checked the TSA website and it specifically says that electronics such as laptops and cell phones are still okay. [link]

Couldn't find anything at all on the American Express site.

The one thing that made me want to flip off the screen on the TSA site?

"Passengers are urged to pack their patience..."

I'd print that out and take it with me to the airport.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! That's like one day a couple of weeks ago when my train home was fucked up -- the platform was packed with people, and the trains were full already, too. The announcement guy says, "The train is approaching the station. All you have to do is get on it." OH REALLY??

Woe to the fucking wicked.

"Passengers are urged to pack their patience..."

And then check it through to their destination.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I think the British government is hiding the truth because they don't think the average person can handle it. The danger is not, in fact, liquid versions of chemicals that can be combined into explodey mayhem -- the actual danger is....

See, with me? This would be the first thing that gets blowed up.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'll just say the timing is interesting. Yesterday's headline -- Lieberman loses primary; stance on war in Iraq blamed. Today's headline -- Terror threat in the skies.

I'll suspend judgment on why. But an interesting coincidence.

Asking for a little travel ~ma. We are supposed to leave LAX for London tomorrow evening. Not too worried because we are on a British carrier who is committed to getting all their flights out, but a little patented Buffista ~ma would be great. (also a little, no stolen iPod ~ma as we will have to check our hand luggage in London for the transfer flight to Leeds)

to quote a friend form the coffee shop - " I don't belive in conspiracy theories - except one - feed the paranoia monster"

Though if you ask me - finding a ohter threat - but not catching it before just before it gets on a plane- tells me George and his buddies aren't doing a very good job.
