From the TSA Rep:

"Pack your bags neatly, it will help us look for those IEDs more easily. Thank you."

I will be sure to inform the local Al Queda representative who will be more than happy to help them out.

our gubmint in action again

gives ya a lot of confidence flying eh?

Hey guys if it gets me through security more quickly, then I'm all for it. If a terrorist wants to pack his bags in a messy way, then who cares? They're not saying they won't find IEDs, they're telling you how to make the line move more quickly.

Are we headed towards a uniform that must be worn when flying?

For instance, an adult onesie?

Will that make flight safer?

I fear where we're headed (mostly because I may have to shave my back if asked to where something such as this).

Mr. Peepers!!!!! I missed you.

mmmmmmmm, gravy.

I won't be missing you once tomorrow gets here.

I'll have you on my turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie, fruit salad and maybe a glass of gravy on the side to wash it all down with.

What's the point of backing your bags neatly? Trust me...by the time those wankers get done with it...nothing will be neat!!! Or intact I might add!!!

Yes, lol, I am aware of her meaning, I just thought she stated it in a less than clear and concise way. Thanks for playing along, lol.

And, let's just all fly nude, for better or worse. At least you know they won't be smuggling anything TOO large on board, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

great tip from someone who traveled way more than I cared to...put everything in gallon ziploc freezer bags, by clothing (socks together, undies together, t-shirts together, you get the picture). easy to pack, wrinkle free, takes up less space, and quicker through the checkpoitns.

Ha, ha, ha! Wait a minute. Why am I laughing. I don't get it.

The one that makes me chuckle on every flight is

"In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead compartment. Secure your mask and breathe normally."

Breathe normally..............yeah, right..........

We are within the End of Days, anyway.

So pack those bags neatly so your exit is a smooth as possible.

I haven't flown in a couple of years.. was Thanksgiving weekend, and they paid entirely too much attention to my underwire.. to the point that I've had less play while getting felt up. Guess that's what I asked for flying alone, one way.


One of the most uncomfortable times in my life, I do believe.

Ops, did they have a woman do thsi for you? I would hoep so, otherwise, I'd be more than a little concerned....

Yes, it was a woman, but there was no privacy. There were a couple security guys watching. I got to put my feet on the nifty footprints on the floor and spread them with my arms straight out to the sides.

On a lighter note, when I was coming hoem from Hawaii and goign through security at Honolulu airport, I had my eye drops in a baggie, which was the onyl liquid I had brought with me, or so I thought. I put my stuff in the trays and walked through the gate. I was putting my shoes back on and waiting for the rest of my stuff when one of the security peopel starts asking loudly, "Who has the spray cheese? Did someone bring a can of spray cheese? Spray cheese is nto allowed through here!" I sheepishly said, "Oh, that's my cheese..." I had a can of Easy Cheese and a box of crackers in my tote, nto thinkign it was really classified as a liquid. I told them they coudl toss it and the crackers. But I still laugh when I think of that guy askign everyone if they had brought "spray cheese."

Cheesebomber thwarted at Honolulu airport
