TSA - Rant On

[[AK]Nuts]

Sorry, just need to rant.

I dropped my wife, 2 year old son and 3 month old daughter off at the airport a few minutes ago (San Jose). I got a pass to allow me to go through security with them (Wife had the stroller, car seat and two kids... she needed the help.) I knew there was a rule about no liquids except for babies. But get a load of this. She can bring formula (powder added to water) but not water & formula seperate. WTF? Brand new 12oz bottle of water with seal and a container of powdered baby formula are not allowed. However, if you combine the two to form an opaque liquid... that's okay. What a frickin' joke. There is no longer any common sense applied to the TSA and their regulations.
It would be like not permitting a man to bring a knife blade and a handle onto an airplane, but if puts the two together, well... hell, that's okay.

And what about the stupid 3oz rule for liquids and gels? They say that 3oz isn't enough to blow up a plane. Jesus H. Christ, let's pray that terrorist don't have friends. Because... and I'm not too good with math... but if 10 terrorists each board a south bound plane traveling at 550mph and each terrorist is carrying 3oz of liquified explosives, then combined, the terrorists carry a total of 30oz of explosives... right?

I read the newest TSA rules prior to leaving on my vacation. Carmex is not allowed, yet you can bring 8oz of personal lubricant ( i.e. KY jelly)

my question, why on earth would you need 8oz of KY jelly on an airplane?
hmmm

I just realized... no wife/kids for the next couple of weeks. Game On! I'll be in POE in the evenings... check vent.

Real men wear dresses and shout phrases such as "Pwnd!!" and "I need a cleanse!!"

Tie that skirt on cup cake, and level your warlock.

I also was in San Fran all last week. Small world.

People complain about odd rules, then if something were to happen, they'd complain about the lack of the proper odd rules. Last year it was nailclippers and removal of shoes. A few years before that it was the inconvenience of having to remove our laptops from their bags. Now it's liquids.

I've sort of come to the conclusion that flying is always going to be uncomfortable and inconvenient to a degree. It's not like being driven in a limo from your house to your destination, and it probably never will be.
