Oh, How Secure
September 13th, 2006 by Grant in: TravelI’m on my way to Reno this weekend for the annual Reno Air Races. Since the new ban on anything liquid in a carry-on, I figured I better check and see what I can bring.
Permitted in a carry-on:
Scissors, screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, knitting needles, nail files, nail clippers, toy weapons, walking canes, tweezers. Oh, and “personal lubricant“.
NOT Permitted in a carry-on:
Toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, chap stick, liquid soap, eye drops, saline solution, deodorant, sun tan lotion, bug spray, mascara.
Does anyone else find this a bit odd?
Oh what a tangled web we weave.

The TSA is such a joke! You can’t bring any liquids on board, but you can buy the liquids inside the security gates.
The clowns overseas didn’t even have tickets, let alone board the airplanes, when they got caught with their explosive jungle juice. On top of that, the authorities found out that the explosive power of gatorade is much less than the media presents.

The world has gone mad. As a result of the absurdity of airport security, and because of it, the terrorists have basically created millions of ‘bad hair days’ and lots of people with bad breath. Maybe someone should get a glass of orange juice and vodka and take it on board saying it is a “screwdriver”. In this age of madness, that might work!

David, don’t you know that it’s never a good idea to joke around with the TSA!?
As part of the application process, there are a few things that will disqualify you from working at our shoot from the hip, spontaneous reaction to a national tragedy:
1. Any sense of humor what-so-ever
2. An understanding that 99.999% of people are harmless
3. A likable personality
4. A college degree
That being said, I’m gonna try out your “screwdriver” idea the next time I fly.
Have your bail money ready!
