Air Travel Tip
In light of recent increases in security at our nation's airports, I see a growing number of people frustrated by the arcane new rules regarding liquids, gels, aerosels, etc. So, a handy tip for wary air travelers: if you want to bring small quantities of liquids, gels, and/or other contraband on your person, just slip it into one of your pockets and walk through the metal detector. As long is it's not bulging out, it likely won't be noticed. And of course, the metal detector only detects metal. I did this today with a small container of hand lotion, and the woman in front of me followed my advice and transferred a bunch of stuff from her purse to her pockets. We went through security without a hitch. Yet further evidence that the much of the more obvious security bullshit is just that - bullshit.
