A coworker has flown to Florida several times in the last two years.
He once commented that he never put his carry-on "fluids" in the quart
sized bags. We mentioned that doing so was a requirement (and proved
it to him) and he said that he never heard of that, and he never saw
anybody else doing that.
He has flown at least two or three times since then, and still swears
that nobody actually shows their carry-on toiletries when going
through the security checkpoint.
Strange!

Elected officials should wear uniforms like
NASCAR drivers. That way it would be easier
to identify their corporate sponsors. |
