Oh well, as a good friend of mine once said when we found ourselves in the middle of a minefield, "one step at a time."

I heard last night that TSA in EWR and one of the other NY airports is going to begin to provide envelopes so the passengers can mail their prohibited items home. If that's the change that's coming, it's really no change.

And truthfully, I wondered how many of the mailed items would, in fact, make it back to the passengers's home and not disappear.
