"Come with enough supplies to last you 24 hours."

[trof]

- advice from CNN correspondent to air travelers

My god, it's come to this.
Prepare for an airline journey like you'd prepare for a natural disaster.

The deregulation of our air carriers continues to take its toll.
No wonder they're almost all bankrupt.

1. Just don't bring water.

:(

2. That's charming advice given all the carry on restrictions these days.

Pre-2001 when I traveled for business my carry-on was a 24 hour survival kit. Now I doubt that much of it could be brought aboard, especially the all essential bottle of hot sauce. Half of the easy to transport food won't pass muster anymore.

3. Am I a pervert

that I figured this was about condoms?

4. that was my first thought too!

"gee, maybe I should bring a gross..."

[Connonym]

5. My kind of man

;-)

8. but you're only allowed 4 oz of KY

which would really put a damper on that party. :(

6. as long as none are liquids

I miss the days when I could travel easily without checking my bags or having to restock on contact solution, etc. when I get to my destination.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Just another sign that the Republicans have totally let the terrorists win.

Thanks for surrendering, you jackass evil fucking cowards.

9. all you need is a reinforced thick-rimmed tupperware bowl and a retractable

tent and you can discreetly pinch a loaf while in an airport pinch

10. SUPPLIES? How about you don't stick me on a fucking plane fo 24 hours SITTING

tell you what airlines. I'll come with an ATM card so if I AM stuck for 24 hours it will be IN THE AIRPORT where there is food, air conditioning, water (preferable tainted with scotch) NOT sitting on your fucking cramped, hot plane with nowhere to even go PEE!

:grr:
