2. The triplets' mother went to Minneapolis over the weekend....
After she returned Sunday evening, she moaned about having to discard the Starbuck's tea she had just purchased and had barely tasted. Next day, the TSA ended the beverage purchased in the "safe zone" ban. Which was ridiculous to begin with.

I called her and said good going! Had to ditch water a couple weeks ago for a flight that was short and so had no beverage service. Grrrrr.

6. I flew the day before
the ban ended, and had to toss my water, lotion, & perfume. Our flight was then delayed on the runway for over 2 hours because of weather - and they wouldn't let passengers have anything to drink that whole time. I hate flying anymore (Sorry, this isn't really relevent to your story, just wanted to rant.)

7. If any group can be compared to Nazis, it's the TSA.
All they need are the brown shirts. Assholes, the lot of them.
