twilight33Mothers can bring baby formula on board, but only after drinking it in front of security officials first.
omg teh b0mb Do fathers with babies get to jet right on by without drinking that nasty stuff?
TSA has much more to fear if they tried to make me dump my Lush products today. I'm hoping for someone to stop the insanity before my happy self is on the way to Dallas.

I guess I really should get back to work...

Date: 2006-08-10 09:34 pm (UTC)In reality, though, what they were planning on doing is saturating a highly hydrogenated gel with water. Then, when you apply an electric current, the Hydrogens jump away from the oxygens...thus making an explosive mixture.
I notice with all our anti-terrorism task forces, it was the Brits who figured things out.
Re: iPods & Gatorade?
Date: 2006-08-10 10:15 pm (UTC)Yes, our stance certainly appears reactionary instead of proactive. I wonder how the security budgets compare between the two.
Re: iPods & Gatorade?
Date: 2006-08-10 09:39 pm (UTC)U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the plans were "suggestive of an al Qaeda plot," and President Bush said the arrests are a "stark reminder" that the U.S. is "at war with Islamic fascists."
So we've moved from Al Qaida and Iraq to "Islamic Fascists" in general?

Re: What????
Date: 2006-08-10 10:46 pm (UTC)I wouldn't drink formula either (not the premixed anyway; the smell makes me retch). But your post reminded me of a "funny" story: the first time I flew to Phoenix alone with Cole (who drank 1/2 formula and 1/2 the real deal), I prepared TWO bottles for him to have during the 1-hour flight. He was going through a growth spurt and drank both before the plane even took off, ate the in-flight snack (he was 7 months old at the time) and cried all the way there.
Some random woman stopped me as she was getting off and said "Excuse me! You MIGHT want to consider bringing a bottle next time you fly with a baby!!"
On the way home he was much happier, but he did try to eat the newspaper of the person sitting next to me. :S

Date: 2006-08-10 11:18 pm (UTC)The federal TSA today announced new security measure for the nation's airports: Passengers will be required to check all luggage and personal items, including the clothing they wore to the airport.
"Yes," TSA ommander Albert Fandango said, "the onlyway we can insure safe air travel is by requiring passengers to fly naked." He added that the government would do its best to work with the airlines to maintain "comfortable" cabin temperatures for flights lasting longer than three hours and that, to insure that the privacy and dignity of the passengers is maintained, they will be allowed to board behind a curtain—although male and female TSA agents would be monitoring all embarkations. Agents, he said, would be prohibited from giggling or gesturing unnecessarily.
"This will make flying safer than ever—there will be no way a terrorist could smuggle an explosive devise or weapon onboard," Fandango said. When a reporter asked about the possibility of a terrorist concealing a device within a body cavity, Fandango replied, "We've got that covered" and displayed a pair of disposable latex gloves.

Date: 2006-08-11 12:27 am (UTC)I'm seeing another way for airlines to squeeze a buck out of the passengers...more charges on in-flight beverage service, more charges on in-flight entertainment (for when they ban iPods, laptops, portable dvd players, etc), maybe even charges for carryon bags.
And people wonder why I don't enjoy flying...
