I’m a little concerned about what might happen going through security for a flight I’ll be taking in about a month or so. Since 9/11 the rules for boarding airplanes have changed, and changed again. Shortly after 9/11 I remember heading to my gate, seeing a sign posted listing items prohibited on planes. It was disappointing to find a leaf blower on the list, because I don’t know about you, but I feel naked without mine when I travel.
Speaking of naked. I remember when they caught the shoe bomber on a plane, and thanks to him we are now required to take our shoes off before going through security. Then someone boarded a plane with two seemingly innocent liquids that could be mixed together to form an explosive and next thing you know the airlines banned liquids. So now a guy, who by all accounts, raised every red flag one could raise, yet managed to board a plane with explosives in his underwear, which unfortunately didn’t blow (no pun intended) his male parts to bits, so what now? I see the handwriting on the wall. Will we be required to exchange our shoes and our undies for paper substitutes? Ewwww!
I bet when your mother told you to always wear clean underwear she had no idea how important that advice would become. Maybe I’ll take the train.
I’m just saying…
