That's probably it. They're trying to process a large amount of people in a short time to get them on a small metal tube. Not much time for arguments there, you know?
Gotta be. One thing about a bright-line rule -- you either qualify or you don't. Not a lot of room for judgment means not a lot of room to argue.
PS, on close examination, the Cheetah lady has bicolored eyes!
Another report from my email, this one more likely to be accurate:
We are just leaving Dallas. They are permitting carryons and electronics, just no liquids of any kind. Security was surprisingly efficient here.
I love the tagline on that book!
You need a new tagline.
I note that neither the lady nor the cheetah are kicking each other's ass.
She's probably already established dominance over the Cheetah.
Israel only has one international airport, right?
Only one we're allowed to know about... dun duh duuuun.
Yeah, just Tel Aviv AFAIK.
Nothing new, there, Cass. Last year, a recruiter in Ohio signed up a kid who had just walked out of a three-week stint in a psychiatric ward here in Ohio. Then he lied to the boy's parents
Sadly, I am not surprised. It seemed like I should have been earlier, but I am realizing just how unsettling the whole recruitment circle is.
This is the first time I haven't lived near a massive/major military base or three. I like it but it also is more different than I would have expected.
Yay for things going well for Scola.
In the spirit of both balance and testing August to see how many Buffistas can fit into the hospital, I was back in the ER last night.
Stop that.
Please?
Asking for a little travel ~ma.
Best of luck, Dawn, and I hope you have a great time once you get there.
Hi! I'm posting from work, rather than from Chicago, because my flight (to the same con as Dana) was cancelled outright.
Ah, damn. I hope you can make it at some point.
Having been treated as a level 2 threat by airport security while leaving Israel on a non-El Al flight - I was a non-Jewish woman who had been there for 10 weeks and been all over the country, consorting with who knew who - I have to say that I don't know if the security increase gained from this kind of screening is worth the resentment it builds in travellers. I'd rather see everybody's shampoo randomly screened than just mine because of my religion or lack thereof (they took me into a back room and hand-checked all my luggage, including things like holding my shampoo up to the light).
Also adding my yay's for Mr. Scola's speedy recovery. I'm very glad that ita is staying home today. Your head is being very mean and it probably needs to stop doing that now.
Best of luck, Dawn, and I hope you have a great time once you get there
Thanks Lee! I get to see my brother yay! I haven't seen him in 8 months so I'm really looking forward to it.
Theo, that just sucks. I'm sending travel~ma your way.
