Today's AP article
by Daniel Yee can be read here
------------------------------------------
A non-sheeple speaks
"I was glad to see (the changes)," said Vicki McGowan, a professional meeting planner at Oakland International Airport for a flight to Reno, Nev. "How can lipstick or mascara put people at risk?"
--------------------------------------------
Now how long is it again until election day?
In Washington, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the new rules "are likely to be with us for the foreseeable future." Testifying before the House Homeland Security Committee, Chertoff said the new rules would be in place for at least six weeks, but he declined to say whether they would remain as long as six months.
Will we be "safe" again as a Halloween "treat"?

My favorite quote from the article:
"I woke up scared to death this morning," Hawley told reporters in Washington.
With such a fearful man running TSA, no wonder we have so many ridiculous rules... (And he wasn't even talking about terrorists here -- he was talking about Ziploc bags!!)

"Leslie Walker of Plano, Texas, was planning to carry drinks for her 5-year-old daughter and 18-month-old son onto their flight from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to El Paso.
'It was really a relief to know that I didn't have to get here this morning and repack everything. It saved me a little time,' she said."
How is this helping Ms. Walker? She still can't bring drinks through the screening checkpoint. Was she planning on buying them at the high-priced airside stores?
