I get as frustrated with airport security as the next guy (and I’m plenty doubtful of its effectiveness), but really, if you don’t yet know liquids aren’t allowed, and you hold up the one security line at a small airport at an ungodly early hour, it’d be nicer if you didn’t laugh like a kid at a theme park about it. Yes it’s farcical, but not funny.

airline security, liquids, annoying, airport security

The Mercury News’ QA on carry-on restrictions answered a big question I had:

Q Can I still carry my laptop, cell phone and iPod on board?
A Those items are still OK as long as you’re not traveling to or through the United Kingdom.

But a Reuters story posted at C|Net suggests the restriction on liquids won’t be going away any time soon.

Draconian restrictions on carry-on baggage may stay in place for months, even years…

None of this, of course, has anything to do with the mid-term elections and everything to do with our new understanding of evidence first uncovered in 1995.
