I was actually in the air somewhere over the deep south when the TSA discovered yet another way to make air travel the most unpleasant travel experience of all…
I’m having little panic attacks these days thinking about all the 5-6 hour transcontinental flights I have yet to make this year, and the fact that I can not longer bring water with me for that long haul. And the fact that I have been on at least half a dozen planes in the past year that have RUN OUT of beverages before even making one pass through the cabin for beverage service.
What really irks me is the expicit, repeated exception I hear: baby formula, baby food and breast milk is OK for passengers travelling with infants. I hate people that have children - sorry if this is any of you - but cortch-droppers get too many privelages in this society. They and their babies should have to drink stale soda and pretzels or go partched for 6 hours too… I’d rather deal with the death screams of a dehydrated sprog than let those pieces of genetic flotsam get one more privelage at my expense.
How long til you think some terrorists find a way to make explosives that look like puree of split pea and enlist the services of an infant Warrior of Allah for their next big battle with the Great Satan?
