What I don't understand is, if they're going to take the toiletries because they think there might be explosives, why don't they subsequently arrest the passengers the toiletries belong to, for attempting to carry suspected explosives on the plane?
Why? Because they don't
really
suspect the toiletries of being explosives. They are at best, following stupid, pointless, annoying rules, that aren't really protecting us from anything, or at worst, deliberately stealing our shit. And how many billions of dollars are we wasting on this idiocy/thievery?
Also, a very happy birthday to you, Sparky.
Is it Plei who talks about the Sock Dreams site? That site make me kinda...hot. I didn't realize I had a sock/leg fetish! I have always loved socks though. When I was in my band, my fave "look" was miniskirts and knee socks with chunky loafers. I'm too old for that look now, but I still like to look at it!
It's Jilli. I have yet to order anything there, but I do drool.
Happy birthday, Sparky!
GC, it's probably me that talks about the Sock Dreams site. I'm wearing stripey knee socks from them right now (over tights, because it's cold!), and they're wonderful.
Sean,
stole her toiletries bag?!
I would be incoherent with rage.
(Which reminds me, oh crap, need to see what the current stupid rules are for luggage and carry-ons, 'cos we're going to Florida in Jan. There is NO WAY I can live out of a carry-on.)
I bought 4 pair of knee socks from them. Am tempted by some of the thigh high socks even though I don't need them. They just look sexy!
Yay, drugs!
I hope tomorrow is lots better, ChiKat.

A compound found in cannabis may stop breast cancer spreading throughout the body, US scientists believe.
I came home an hour ago to work on cleaning my house. Haven't done anything yet. Help! Make me get busy. It's that or pretend I've moved when people show up tomorrow.
ooo - thanks to msbelle for the cute clothes that just appeared in my mailbox! Can't wait to try them out!
I'm sorry, Sean. I didn't think they were so odd with the checked stuff.
There's a catalog I get that always reminds me of Jilli, but I can't think of the company name off the top of my head. They sell home accessories (tables, chairs, lamps, rugs, curtains) and it all has a very Victorian feel. Cool stuff.
