This, and many other reasons, is why I just check everything.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Well, I'm going to have a carry-on no matter what, because there is NO WAY I am putting Clovis in checked luggage. If the airlines lost my wardrobe, I'd be pissed. If they separated me from my Devilbunny, Pete and I would probably snap. So, it's best not to take chances.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
They lost my luggage once and I never got it back. Checking luggage now causes me great anxiety.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My bag got thoroughly searched in Tucson the other day, and the TSA guy said it was because the way my keys and book settled next to each other looked suspicious. He really seemed to be suggesting I travel without one or the other, too.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
SFO has kindly started providing quart bags, which is nice. Still doesn't quite alleviate the frustration of STUPID rules, but it's nice!
Oh! When I was in the screening line at SFO on Friday( noticing the quart bags), all of a sudden there was COMMOTION at the metal detectors, and some dude TOOK OFF, knocking down signage and everything to block his chasers' way. He ran outside, several guards and cops ran after him, and then two squad cars started chasing him. No idea what happened or why he took off, but there was excitement and pandemonium for a minute. Luckily, we didn't get delayed at all, but it's still not how one wishes to start one's Christmas trip.

Art Crawl!!!
ita - that is good news.
I've been hanging out in front of the computer most of the afternoon - knitting and browsing. And my gray cat Ivan has been spending much of that time napping in between the keyboard and the monitor. He chats in his sleep. So, I have one cat that snores and another that talks. Of course, now he is sitting up right in front of me, preventing me from seeing what I am typing.

Wait. Does toothpaste count as a liquid?
Well, the basic rule is no liquids, gels, or aerosols. But if you read the fine print by category on the TSA website, there's a whole bunch of things that also qualify for the < 3oz. rule.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The liquid rule is so stupid. I always sneak lighters, but I found out that on my way to New Orleans I accidentally snuck an 8 oz bottle of perfume (Prada, so I'd have been hella pissed if I had to throw it away) through in my laptop bag.
Stay well~ma for you, ita.
