I've been thinking about the airlines thing, and I think it's just because you're flying. I think people are just afraid that they're going to fall out of the sky - I could be wrong though. But the Governer of Massachutts supposedly called out the National Guad to all the transport places, but when my sister came up from Boston, she said that there was less security on the subways and commuter rail.
I haven't had much trouble with air travel myself, except for the time there was a massive front ripping though the Midwest, so our one stop flight turned into five stops with a layover in St. Louis.
I've had my shoes x-rayed at all the airports since the shoe bombing incident. And my sweatshirts, because I had them tied around my waist as I'm obviously smuggling in a bomb. I have all the TSA pamflets saying what the security rules are decorating my room, but I guess I need a new one now.
And that's rediculas what you paid for that airline ticket. Wait... Okay, that makes zero sense. I just put that thought the currency converter, and for some reason that ticket was a lot more expesive than the tickets we've been getting. I'm not sure the exact price of the ticket to come out to Massachutts, but it's like $200 to $250. The ticket you got was the same that we're paying to go to Florida on January 1st. -_-O
I think in the UK everything is banned except for things like passports and money. In the US I think it's just liquids, at the moment. We're waiting to see whether or not we have to pack the laptop in the checkin luggage and burning the photos to disk just in case.
