My disdain for these damned travel rules.
I just checked in for a return flight and had to throw away all my tooth paste, shaving lotions just because I had the wrong size fucking baggie.

All this bullshit because they thought someone who had no ticket or explosives might have thought about doing something.

Just plain bull shit.

1. I once loved to travel. Now I won't unless my job
absolutely requires it.

2. Still love to travel, just won't fly anymore.
Fortunately(?) I no longer have an employer requiring me to go through the outrageous BS that the sheeple all seem to love so much.

5. The stupid part of this is the baggie was fine leaving Cleveland
If they are going have these rules, they need to be well published and consistent.
Each airport enforces it differently.

4. The sheep love to be terrorized, it makes them feel important.
As much as I hate the re:puke:s, there are just as many fear mongers on our side of the isle.

6. If the Dems get in 2008
will I be taken off the "no fly" list? I'm sure I'm on it cuz I lost it once and sent a mean letter to your Pretzledent. I have a son who is married to a Texas Democrat so I may want to visit after your present Pretzledent has become an agonizing memory to us all.
