It's not a luxury for Americans to live in America. It's the right of every American citizen.

our rights are a luxury, a luxury many people dont have in their own country and thats why they come here

Re: More Carry-On Items Banned on Planes

when you move from where your family is part of the sacrifice is not being able to see your family when you want or in some cases need to.

It is a luxury we choose to live whereever you want to. So if they put new restrictions on travel since I chose the luxury of living in LA I have to abide by the restrictions, Im not gonna get all pissed off over something i cant change

In a democracy the government is responsive to the people. There are ways to change it. Not easy ways, but there are ways.

Um, maybe because nobody ever tried to blow up a plane before by smuggling in stuff that could explode in a tube of toothpaste or a jug of water???

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?

our rights are luxuries to people in other countries, but they're rights to people who are already legally here, not luxuries.

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

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.

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

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.

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...
