TSA is so diculous...
...that it's ridiculous.
So I am waiting to board a flight to Newark, NJ this morning and in the long security line I hear the TSA agent say the following...
"No liquids are allowed past the security checkpoint. This includes coffee, soda, juice, and WATER!"
And she followed it up with...
"Except milk or juice for the little ones..."
Errrrrrrrrt? (Combo of tires squealing.and Scooby Doo proclaiming a question)
So from this I take four key points:
- Parents traveling with kids should pour their coffee into their kids sippee cups
- Children allergic to milk and juice are not allowed to fly
- Terrorists need only to travel with a child to bring contraband on board, and really...they are terrorists so what do they care if they take out a kid with everyone else
- Our country is run (both government and industry) by people who are mildly retarted. Like who sat in a room and hear that exception and said "Yeah, that makes sense!"
More later...
Comments
To be safe on aircraft, the following would be required of all passengers:
1. No carry-on luggage except small purses and brief cases.
2. Background checks at the time of ticket purchase.
3. Full body scans at check points.
Are you willing to pay that price?
Who are you? Your comment comes off a bit extreme, and confusing. Are you for or against the items you proposed?
AMEN!!!
this country has become a mass of knee jerk reactionaries who sit in dark rooms, having left all common sense outside the doors and make stupid rules.
BAH
