More Carry-On Items Banned on Planes

your "rights" end at your front door when you venture into public and can affect the lives of others.

well then I say no one should be allowed to drink because if they drink and drive it affects the lives of others.

[L.A. Playa]

same reason we don't move to rochester: no jobs for people with our education and experience.

so work in a different field so you can be near your family if being near your family is so important

[Ebenezer]

didn't I just say this.

First, I don't think there are any commercial boats. Second, if there are they leave from Florida, which means 2-3 days of driving followed by 1-2 days on a boat. Given that we have JOBS and limited vacation time, it's not possible for us (if it even exists).

So, the options are flying or not seeing her family. Flying is only a luxury for us if seeing your family is considered a luxury.

so stow your toothpaste in a bag and check it...or call ahead to Dora's family and make sure there is a store where you can buy some or that they have some on hand for you......your choice...convienence or the potential for planes dropping out of the sky.

or maybe somebody came up with a way to make toothpaste explode...i am still shocked that people can take cell phones, laptops, i-pods and CD players on planes...it is possible to hide a remote device in there...no?

Laptops and other similar devices are looked at very closely when you send them through the X-ray machine. The folks who do the screening are given training on what to look for. I've had to power up and demonstrate my laptop is a working device several times at various airports.

no...they can drink responsibily...why does somebody need to be ****-assed drunk in public??...again, driving is the priviledge...

yes...I have too...but those CD rom drives that you can swap out are NEVER inspected...great place to hide a detonator.

Well I may decide to blog about this later, but what makes anyone think it will be possible to detect most liquids and gels? Yes, coffee cups and toothpaste tubes are obvious. But "a terrorist" could hollow out part of a paperback, put a liquid or gel inside a container that looked like playing cards, stick something in the handle of a hairbrush...

That isn't even counting putting gels or liquids into Ziploc bags and taping them to your body. Those metal detectors detect metals, not liquids or gels. So what's next, strip searches? Pat-downs? That would seem to be necessary if they truly want to prevent terrorists from smuggling "liquids or gels" on board.

My suggestion: Stop hassling parents with babies, elderly people, etc. and do some good old fashioned profiling. Because I don't think we have enough time or personal to undress everyone before boarding.

Do we?

$8? that's nuts...you got taken...

...and they serve water on the plane...BOTTLED water.

I take good care of my hair being I'm one of the only natural blondes left. lol

As for the bottled water on teh plane. I've never had water on the plane but if it's like a soda or a juice, you don't get teh full bottle/can. You get a tiny plastic cup filled with ice and about a mouthful of liquid. And, not to state the obvious, but if I'm DRINKING the water, do you really think it has explosives that can be used to blow the plane up? lol

[Discotrish]

Wow, if terrorism forces Op and Dora to have to change careers, I would say not only have the terrorists "won," but they've run up the score.

[ArcticWildMan]

If you were planning on killing yourself by blowing up the airplane anyway, why would it make a difference if you drank some of it? You're going to be dead either way. You forget Valerie, we aren't talking about rational people.

has nothing to do with it, if tehy wanted to live near family they should have chosen careers where jobs are available wher their family lives, otherwise they should enjoy phone conversations because they sacrificed living near family for their careers

I think his point is that he CAN see his family by utilizing the airline industry. That is what we're talking about.
