Thanks A Lot Islamic Terrorists, now I can’t even take my Starbucks with me?
From the LAPD blog. In response to the latest terror attempt by Islamic Extremists the following items are prohibited beyond security checkpoints include liquid and gels such as:
Beverages
Perfume and cologne containers
Shampoo
Sun tan lotion
Creams
Toothpaste
Hair gels
Other items of similar consistency
No coffee, not toothpaste, no personal care products? Talk about the war on terror hitting home. I picture air travel now being even more smelly and unhygienic. Not to mention cranky.
Furthermore, with regard to the latest Islamic Terrorist activity here are a few links:
-
The very police work that foiled the attacks are the things that the NYT and others have been the most against (surveillance, data mining, etc.). Read the Scotsman’s coverage.
It turns out that our least favorite British MP George Galloway is quite familiar with one of the terrorist suspects. No they weren’t his Oil-For-Food buddies but close and he had reportedly met with one of them “many times.” My guess is that he had never bothered to meet any of the crack British law enforcement personnel that foiled the attempt. Read Ace of Spades.
Won’t belabor the point but yes folks there are people who want to kill us. We either stop them or we don’t. Let’s thank the British for doing it but next time the terrorists might not channel activities through the UK so we can’t count on British anti-terrorism squads to foil it. I too wish we lived in a world where everyone loved each other and our main worry was whether or not the rainbow-colored unicorn we saw last night will join us as we gayly skip through the meadow…

Since I have to fly next week I am hoping that this will decrease the number of sweaty bodies I have to encounter, but thats just me always looking for the diamond ring beneath the outhouse.

But you’ve forgotten the most important thing. There’s a less likely chance for kids to fly.
Y’know, parents not allowed to take PSPs etc on…man they’re gonna have to go by boat

It’s funny you write this since the last trip I was on I saw how well behaved the kids who had Nintendo handhelds were vs. those that didn’t. Once again, the hidden cost of Islamic extremism is that we have to fly with fidgety kids. Of course your typical extremist will just say tell the kids to read the Koran or have their hands cut off. Personally I’d rather let them play Nintendo than cut off their hands but that is just one way I differ with the Islamic extremists.
