The Katherine Harris Campaign, Summed Up - Wonkette

Here are the new rules for passengers in the United States:

* No liquids or gels are allowed in carry-on baggage. This includes beverages, shampoo, toothpaste, lotions, sunscreen, or creams. Such items should be put into checked luggage, consumed or discarded.
* Exceptions are granted for infant formula, breast milk or juice for infants traveling. Prescription drugs and insulin are also allowed with proper identification.
* The government recommends that passengers pack light to speed up the process of going through security. Long delays are being reported.
* Carry-on bags are being checked at the gate.

[ Sounds like my DC flights this past weekend could've ended up a lot, LOT more annoying.

I tend to travel with nothing *but* a carry on. I don't like to fuck around checking bags unless it's truly necessary, so me and my REI pack is pretty much how I roll.

Of course, that means my toiletry kit, including, of the items on this list : shampoo, conditioner, hand lotion, toothpaste, contact solution, and sometimes a bit of hair gel or mousse.

So apparently now I'm supposed to buy all that stuff at my destination. That's super. Also, that last bullet seems to indicate that the bags are getting gate checked regardless... that's another delay to tack on and one I don't quite get if you've already rejected all liquid-carrying bags. *shrug*

I have 3 definite flights coming up in the next 4 months... I guess I better leave that nice toiletries kit in my closet.

I hate to say it, but they're winning in some ways. Everyone's afraid... what more is there to say?

Wow. now that's critical stuff...

[ Anyone else recall me proposing just such a utility, oh, say, a month or 2 ago?

Yeah. Beat to the punch.

Guess I'll be paying Apple come spring.

Following up on our previous brief discussion, I'm very curious what would happen if the laptop was seized due to my refusal to allow the search.

The forensic team will recognize immediately that my entire home directory is encrypted with FileVault. Assuming FV is secure (i don't really know), what're they gonna do about it?

As you say, absent some law penalizing me for non-compliance, seems like they're SOL.

Have you seen anything in your reading that deals with this subject?

Video games that never got made. (78 entries)

As usual, a few really funny ones...

I particularly liked GTA:Saskatchewan, Seal Shooter, EA Sports FIFA Fighter and Metal Bear Solid.

The picture on GTA:Saskatchewan - a lonely guy in the middle of nowhere - is hilarious.
