The "liquid bomb" plot is so very much less than they made it out to be. How long are they going to inconvenience us over it?

1. I hope they revamp that soon. I flew yesterday and it's strange being
at the mercy of that little beverage cart. You have to think twice before eating peanuts or something, in case you get thirsty and are unable to procure water ... :(

7. ...normally you can just go back to ask for what you need.
you even get more peanuts if you ask..

What I'm not looking forward to, is hearing about someone stuck on an iced runway for 12 hours and having health problems because they couldn't get to medicine, food etc. Not like someone's gonna die if they don't eat or drink for 12 hours but even that's a long time to be cooped up with nothing. Just ask the folks of N.O.

So yeah, I hope we can bring liquids on planes again soon, too.

2. It's not like terrorists haven't thought of using breast implants...
or even swallowing condoms filled with explosives.

4. Why do you hate America?
What kind of question is that?

"So, when can I take bottled water on a plane again?"

Are you questioning the seriousness of the plot to terrorize America?

Do you want the terrorists to win?

Haven't you heard of 'Islamofascism'?

Why do you hate America and our President and the Department of Homeland Security?

Bottled water on a plane!

Indeed!

5. What is the weather report from Dis? Is there a prediction for heavy snow?
Once the Junta implements a pointless inconvenience, it stays in place forever. Until, perhaps, just before the election.

Lest you forget how much you need the Repugs to protect you from terra.

8. Perhaps it's all for the better. Watching while somebody keeps
swigging out of a backwashed water bottle for 5 hours turns my stomach.

10. If I'm on a 5-hour flight,
I want water along. Also my hand lotion and my chapstick.

9. Tape ziploc baggies filled with water to your tummy and thighs
That's how we snuck liquor into football games in college.
