You guys are right. I'm the ONLY person on the face of the earth that thinks that not being able to bring your Dr. Pepper on board the plane isn't the next step towards Nazi Germany.
I'm the only one anywhere.
It's lonely and cold here....
I'm sad on the inside.

Sadly, or not sadly, we've probably seen the last of the Sierra Mist commercial with Kathy Griffin confiscating a passenger's Sierra Mist for a while..... 
Just thought we needed a shot of levity here.

Question regarding "medicine" and what is and is not allowed. I have had a tendancy since my teens to get a lot of underarm sweat. Gross. However, there is a product, called Odaban, that I carry in my shaving kit. Works well. I don't stink. However, you guessed it, it's in liquid form. It comes in a small (30ml) spray bottle. Will that fall under the catagory of "medicine" or will I just get laughed at?

WASHINGTON - Beginning Friday, all airline passengers will go through double screening to make sure they’re not carrying liquids onto planes, the head of the airline industry’s largest trade group said.
Passengers and their carry-on luggage will be checked not only at the main security checkpoint, but also a second time at the boarding gate. The stepped-up screening in response to a new terrorist threat began Thursday at 25 airports where planes leave for Britain.
“It’s going to spread across the whole system tomorrow,” James May, president of the Air Transport Association, said Thursday.

I was hating this place earlier...Now it's just great. Like wrestling, once you accept it's fake you start to enjoy the absurdity of it.

This just gets better and better.
Really though. Is this kind of a 'comedy-satire' type forum?
Or is everyone being for real? No joking around please.

No doubt you think the same. It's still cool - this is still a free country.
So get off your f***ing high horse already if you want responses from reasonable long-standing members and not fellow anarchists (admittedly on both sides)
I've actually enjoyed your posts - you make a lot of good points which would be way more credible if it weren't so obnoxious in tone. I hope you take this as constructive criticism. If not, I don't reall give a rat's a**
Be safe in flight - next time I run into you on CO, the first round's on me.
