She was flying back from Las Vegas the very day that the ban on liquids went into effect.
She was dumbstruck...
There were hundreds of people during the time that she was in the airport that were losing huge bottles of expensive perfume and rare and very expensive Cognac, not to mention the many many bottles of soda, water and harmless tubes of toothpaste and so much other stuff.
She said that there were women sobbing at the tables as they were freed from their expensive bottles f perfume and grown men sobbing over their bottles of drinkable alcohol. I'm sure that a very high number of TSA 'agents' were set for near life that day and the subsequent days of plunder. All quite 'legal'... *wink* *wink*
The beginning of the end of privacy and respect from our government. Then came pat downs of women wearing underwire bras and having to remove your hats, shoes and even sunglasses.
All we need now is the snapped demand for 'Papers!' and then maybe the cattle living their lives in this country will realise how far things have fallen. Nah... 'Freedom isn't free." YIKES!!! =8-O
But hey. Let's anal probe the pilots and give a pass to the guy fueling the plane and the ones 'cleaning' (don't they actually apply more filth?) them a cursory once over... You can never trust those shifty pilots and their elitist attitudes... Those overpaid taxi drivers... ;-)
