Mothers 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.

iPods & Gatorade?

[twilight33]

My dear explosives expert, can you explain "Terrorists planned to concoct an "explosive cocktail" using MP3 players and sports drinks"? :)

This is the dark underside of extreme sports drinks that they never talk about on the news. Sure, we've all seen the guy "Do the Dew", but for every wild shark rider out there, there are 10 guerilla warriors eliminating local villages with Mountain Dew Red!

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.

That certainly sounds more lethal than Mentos & Diet Coke. To think I came *this close* to buying Gatorade X last night, the horror!

Yes, our stance certainly appears reactionary instead of proactive. I wonder how the security budgets compare between the two.

I don't know about the garotaid and Ipods, but this caught my attention, more than anything:

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?

I am now laughing at my own typo. Garot-aide: for an extra boost when you just can't get the piano wire tight enough!

Waiting for Garot?

But of course! There must be repeated mention of the religion of suspects so that the (Western) We are once again assured that those villianous Others are not Us!
