What does Orange Alert mean for air travel?

[Emboldened Chimp]

I have a flight back east tomorrow. What government sanctioned violations of my rights should I expect at the airport tomorrow...?

1. Provide Latex Gloves

And don't expect to get through the gate with shoes that provide steel arch supports, a cell phone that harbors C-4 or Semetex or a Notebook loaded with cocaine or "may" contain the details of Dimbo's Cayman Island off-shore accounts.

2. No soup for you!

Leave your soup or other liquids at home... Ridge specifically mentioned them. Go ahead and leave every non-essential thing at home, too. Prepare to be searched and searched again... wear loafers. Watch for suspicious behavior. Enjoy your flight.

5. Last time I flew...

...the duct-tape alert had just been raised to orange.

We all had to take off our shoes and run them through the x-ray machine. No kidding.

6. Don't wear your shoes with weed in them

7. Since I don't smoke, that won't be too much of a problem

8. It means don't hijack the plane

They're ready for it.

9. there were uniformed troops w big guns

...at the Minneapolis airport. Otherwise not much different from the usual post 911 and shoe bomber type hassles and slowdowns. They are apparently already opening luggage and stealing sunscreen because apparently sunscreen containers can also hold some dangerous chemical? An entire bottle of sunscreen was stolen from my partner's luggage a few days ago so they're already doing this one. As I will be traveling to Africa, I don't know what I'll do for sunscreen...hopefully they'll have it in the shops over there but why would they? Any chemicals you can buy at your destination, be it sunscreen or nail polish remover or what have you, I suggest you don't bother to put them in your luggage or carry-on.

12. Same Way At the Fed-Ex Hub In Louisville

Ho, ho ho....

Asskrap has a list and he's checking it twice just to find out who's naughty or nice....

Otherwise, Sanity is coming to town in a theatre near you.

10. Wear slip-on shoes. Have everything metal

(keys, change, etc.) in a bag rather than in your pockets, so it's easily & quickly passed through the machine with your shoes. Don't lock your luggage. Be patient and don't get mad at the minimum-wage wand fairies. They are not the * Administration.

Enjoy your flight & good luck.

11. wear just your underwear,

carry everything in a clear plastic bag,tape your id`s to your t-shirt and duct tape your feet instead of shoes. you should have no problem...
