Your Flight Experience Will Now... Suck.

New TSA regs for all international flights entering the USA, via Air Canada:
Only one carry-on bag per person. PERIOD. Computer? Clothing? Books? All in one small bag, son.
No leaving your seat in the last hour of your flight. Passengers cannot get up to stretch their legs, go to the restroom or to assist children/elderly/the disabled in the last hour of flying.
Passengers may not carry anything in their hands or in their laps in the last hour of flights. Passengers reading books, listening to an ipod, using a laptop or doing any other activity in the last hour of flight will face criminal action if they don’t cease and desist. That’s not a joke.
What do you think?I think this is a lot of hassle that will not, in any way, lessen the threat of terrorism on a flight, and in no way addresses the incident that happened in this past week. You don’t need two carry-ons to strap a plastic bottle of explosives to your leg (that no metal detector will detect because it’s not metal) or to carry a syringe. Even if you can’t hold something in your lap for the last hour of the flight, that still gives you pretty much the entire rest of the flight to blow something up.
Seriously? The most useless, pointless, ineffective—but still super obnoxious—rules ever.
I am probably the most stress-free person you’ll ever meet when it comes to traveling. Long lines and hassles are just part of the territory and I can’t do much about it, so there’s little reason to get upset about things. But as someone who takes a fair number of flights a year and hopefully will be taking many, many more in the years to come, I have only one thing to say to this:
FUCK. EVERYONE. AND. EVERYTHING. FOREVER.
THIS SOLVES NOTHING. THE ONLY WAY THIS MAKES ME SAFER IS REDUCING MY RISK OF IN-FLIGHT PAPER CUTS AND CARPAL TUNNEL FOR THE LAST HOUR OF THE FLIGHT. IT MIGHT ACTUALLY INCREASE THE PROBABILITY PEOPLE WILL GET SO PISSED OFF AT SCREAMING BABIES AND BOREDOM THAT WILL WANT TO KILL OTHERS.
I know it’s only an hour and I’m overreacting, but seriously, FUCK EVERYONE FOREVER.
Exactly. This is change I think we can all be pissed off about.
Fine. So when I travel for business, I guess I’ll leave my laptop behind, because I’m certainly not going anywhere without my handbag, and I’ve had a checked laptop stolen right out of its case.
grumble grumble
so you DON’T want a government entity telling you what to do? and making your life more fucked up and difficult??
ohhh ok.

Are the folks who are against public healthcare also against agribusiness subsidies? If not, why not?
I don’t mind putting my faith in an unmanageable government run by well meaning idiots. The alternative IMHO, is that I am at the mercy of corporations and those who do noteven pretend tocare about me.Granted it might be a naive and youthful opinion (that may change as I grow older), but it is what I see as the fundamental difference between our views.
Feel free to disagree though, I’m always keen to hear your thoughts and know what you think. :-D
the part in bold is what scares me! well-meaning idiots making your health care decisions?! oh god no. I’d at least like someone with an MBA trying to run it like a successful business instead of some stoned ass hippy with no clue about reality just throwing his arms out and saying, “Come to Momma! We’ll figure this shit out latter!”
are you kidding me?!
I love my sister so much. I was 3 1/2 years old when she was born. I think the day I went to see her in the hospital right after she was born might have been the most exciting day of my life. I was an adult-like child. I always felt like she was my baby, and I held her as much as I could. I tried to teach her how to say words, and I tried to show her all the amazing stuff I had recently learned… being a wee toddler, myself. Then we started fighting. Well, it all started when she discovered the fun of putting my dolls in the toilet. Then lots of life happened. In high school, she got lost a little, and she looked to me for guidance, but I was socially awkward and really oblivious and wasn’t all that helpful. Then more life happened. Now she has a wonderful husband and two babies, but she lives far away. She struggles a little with anxiety. I wish I could soothe her all the time. I just love her to pieces.
Right up to the part about husband and babies, my sister could have written this about me. She is 3 yrs older than me and drug me around and called me her baby. She still pretty much treats me the same way.

this MAY be better than a David Hasselhoff video…
Hot Flash, pt 2.
I was supposed to see CGB tonight, and didn’t, so maybe my hormones are pissed at me.
I am currently having a hot flash.
Sorry, I don’t haver twitter anymore so ya’ll get this lovely update.
I can’t figure out how to switch the dvd input back to the cable box. Everyone else is in bed.
Grr.
No “input select” button on the DVD remote?
The cable box remote should have that selection also. OR… change the channel back to the one required for the cable box? they are different on mine from cable box to DVD player. I have to go to “video channel” for the DVD and I used to forget that and not be able to watch DVDs until my brain kicked back in.
Someone just liked my post and then unliked it.
Who does that?
me ;)
I confess I have done it for very high school reasons.
like… I realized after I liked it that the original poster is a giant fucker.
I think maybe we need a dance part-aye up in here tonight.
it’s not a FNFF but whateves.
so what are ya'll doing for NYE?
I’ll probably be tumbling again, like last year.
Choice between Caribbean party or Gods and Goddesses party. Leaning towards the Gods and Goddesses because work people will be at the Caribbean do, and that won’t do. To be honest the most attractive option would be staying home but have to attempt to try and be social occasionally. Oh, and I broke a chunk off a tooth on confectionery and the dentist won’t be back until after the NY so I’d much rather be going to a Witches and Warlocks party.
if I sell my car I can afford a ticket to Aussieland.
Can I come with??
