Yeah, but the crazy rules are for the people who might be terrorists, not them. They have a good reason for wanting to take their gun onto the plane in their carryon bag.

Movers are gone! I have my paperwork and there's cleaning to do, but right now I'm shoving lunch in my face.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now that would be crazy! Mostly it's just full-sized bottles of shampoo.

Apparently, the guns get on the planes just fine.

In taking Mac to airport yesterday I saw: full size lotion, not removing baseball hat, woman wearing bodysuit that was looking like something underneath it on the body scan and she could not just lift a shirt to show nothing there, woman with inches of metal bracelets not removing them before scan, family with water- it's all ridiculous they should all know.

There was an article in the NY Times a few months ago about how there's been an increase recently in people getting caught trying to bring a gun on a plane in a carry-on, and how a lot of the people say that they just carry the gun all the time and forgot that they had it with them.

I was thinking of the story about how the TSA has failed a ridiculous percentage (like 80%?) of the gun-in-luggage tests recently.

Nobody quibbled about my CPAP machine. Maybe they all recognized what it was.

Our wings are not tired.
I was truly embarrassed when I had a grapefruit knife in my purse when going to the courthouse once. Totally forgot it was in there. When he asked if I had a knife in my purse I was shocked. When I emptied it out and we saw the culprit he laughed and didn't even make me leave it with them.

Aw. DH lost a couple of swiss army knives that way. The second time it was because he had flown to his destination on a private jet and didn't go through security but coming back he flew commercial and didn't remember to change how he was packed.
The funniest case I've had was when we were coming home from Houston after seeing the LoTR exhibit, where we had bought a Shards of Narsil tchotchke and they made us open the sealed box, take out the tiny broken sword, and mail it to our house.
