A member of the Tribe!

Seriously, my upcoming trip will focus on WWI and 11/11/18 memorials, ect, plus the museum in Meaux, France. Also the IWM, RAF museum, and many others. So I don't offend anyone I'll just keep al my materials in my checkin bag.

This is just getting to be a bit ridiculous.

It might seem from the TSA that the Tribe is ok as long as you are not right-of-center:

I'm just a bit skeptical. I could well believe this happened - TSA suspicion aroused by something in a 'foreign-like script' (assuming the newspaper was in Hebrew(?)).

But when she said a woman in niqab (entire body, including face, covered - only eyes visible) passed without being required to show her face, she lost me. I simply do not believe that, especially with TSA.

I'm a teenager as well and I've flown from London to New York not so long ago, so I've had a 8 hours of free time. I suggest putting all your favourite music on your phone/ipod/mp3/mp4, as well as putting some movies and tv shows onto your phone for watching, if you've gota psp or a nintendo ds you can put some games on it too. My personal favourite is watching tv shows and reading books for inspiration, since I'm writing a book for extra points for university. Now I can recommend some of my favourite tv shows: psych, dexter, republic of doyle, breakout kings, supernatural, the walking dead etc. As you can see, they're all crime shows. If you're interested in that sort of stuff, I highly recommend watching these shows. That's all I could think of. Hope you find some of these things useful and have a nice trip .

When a friend and I flew MH to London last year, he was reading a book about airline disasters. One of the cabin crew smiled and said "nice book to read on a plane". Ironic considering what happened to MH this year.

So ridiculous lol.

Though I do remember flying either YVR-ATL or ATL-SJU and a good number of the pax were going on the same cruise...what movie did they show? SPEED 2: Cruise Control. As if that movie wasn't bad enough as it is, you then show it to like 100+ people about to board a boat for a week.
