TSA 'tweaks' list of banned carry-on items

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/08/13/air.security/index.html

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Three days after banning fliers from carrying liquids, gels and lotions past security checkpoints and onto airplanes, the Transportation Security Administration announced Sunday several "tweaks" that would allow passengers to board with small doses of liquid medications.

Under the new rules, travelers can take up to four ounces of non-prescription medicine, glucose gel for diabetics, solid lipstick and baby food, the agency said.

BTW - I called TSA about my asthma inhaler. They said that the inhaler itself had to be labeled with my name and prescription number if I wanted to take it on the plane. I'm packing a backup inhaler in my luggage, just in case the fucktards at National Airport screw up.

2. Fear....Fear...Fear....they thrive on it...

Here's an idea why don't they put strict laws around the concentrated chemicals that were going to be used for the bombs...I think one of the chemicals was concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide....

They could track the sales of the products....

Why oh why do they make things so hard?

Good luck with your flight!

3. It occurs to me that there are other alternatives:

Like buck-naked passengers traveling on plexiglas airplanes. Or maybe what they should do is depressurize the airplane at about 18,000-20,000 feet. Everybody would just doze off and no terr'ists could get into any mischief.

What a goat-fuck.
