I have a well polished worry stone that I keep in my purse. Maybe I'll leave in it my jeans pocket when I go through security tomorrow night at T1 LAX on my way to Sin City. Shouldn't alarm.

I'll let you know when I get back to the home base.

The rock made it through the expert lane at T1 on Friday night in my pocket and also back in a different pocket at some lane in Terminal D at LAS. Not a glitch.

I spent the money and avoided trouble with the bin hogs on the Super 80 coming home on AA. Damn people get nasty and none of them can count to 3. I mean, hey Vegas ain't that far.

Other than a vicious headache from ominous amounts of Raspberri Absolut from the wake of my stepdads death, it was a wonderful trip.

On my next trip to Hawaii I was thinking of packing a bunch of lava stones in little boxes and giving one to each TSO I came across.

Here comes the curse of Madam Pele to each and every one of them. Once they open their little gift from Hawaii their lips will permanantly curl and they will drool white foam with every sentance. Oops, I forgot, the TSO's already do that. I will have to look for a different curse.

For a moment I thought the OP was referring to the latest liquid explosives plot that's been uncovered by the TSA: mixing smuggled on Pop Rocks with on-board Pepsi.
