Gee, And I Used to Like Flying
Oh boy. Explosive shampoo? Corrosive cough syrup? Plastic explosives masquerading as toothpaste?
Apparently there was quite the to-do at airports today when a terrorist plot was foiled and 24 people arrested before they could blow up 10 planes heading to the US. Apparently the plan was to disguise explosives as ordinary beverages.
So now our security folks are not letting any one carry liquids onto planes. And some are banning carry-on luggage.
Boy I'm glad I am not flying anywhere this year.
Years ago I was going somewhere and had a soda from a snack cart of something. The guard made me drink some to prove it was drinkable. Another guard once asked me to eat one of the cookies I was bringing. I gave him one too. These are simple foils for such things. No panic caused.
Oh wait. This is the government saying that they foiled a terrorist plot on the scale of 9/11.... how are we to know this is any more real than those weapons of mass destruction that Iraq was supposed to have?
I tell ya, Canada is looking better and better all the time.
