No Liquid Flying

Mrs. Big Dick McGee
So I travel about four or five times a year, some business, some pleasure. I just booked a flight to the east coast for a trade show and I was reading what I can and can not bring on the airplane and my God! Mascara? Really?

So because I travel enough to find packing and unpacking tiresome I've got totally seperate toiletries to travel with and I've come up with the brilliant idea of shipping my toiletries and only carrying on my clothing. Why not just check my bags? Why tempt fate? I've checked my bags numerous times without incident and I just know I'm begging to lose or have stolen thousands of dollars worth of clothes, make-up and shoes so no, my goodies stay with me. With seats being relatively inexpensive for where I fly I've also come up with the brilliant idea of purchasing two seats. There's not only the comfort of knowing some lard ass isn't going to squash into the seat next to you and elbow you while you're trying to sleep but there's the added benefit of being able to carry on TWO bags and TWO personal items...If you can carry all of that by yourself. My need to have different shoes for every outfit proves that where there's a will there's a way.

Those are my travel tips for airplane travel in this crazy liquid free flying world we're living in.

Oh and don't forget to ship your lip gloss and Tide To Go Pen, those are no-no's on the plane too.
 
Oh, and menacing novelty underpants - never a good idea. Have an acquaintance who swears they grabbed his Henry Rollins knickers.

Loose Nut is somewhat snappish, but come on...

I fly out tonight. I plan on simplifying. The only thing I am annoyed at-besides everything is not being able to take lip gloss or lip stick or make up or lotion on the plane with me. I think I can take some chapstick or lip balm, but I'm not sure. The stupid flight attendants are planning on striking too-but it shouldn't affect me too much. I'm going to pack light-then shop when I get there.
I hate flying.

Too late for this but maybe it will help when she's flying back. You can have lipstick and pressed powder make-up, no loose powder. You can't have lipgloss to which I said, "It's not lipGLOSS, it's lipGLASS. MAC." The woman on the phone was not amused. At any rate, I shipped it and it's expensive having to buy two of all my liquid make-up items.
 
Blunt objects are really overlooked by the airline department. They make extendable carbon batons and saps that can be easily concealed on your person. No springs, no metal. Just nonmetallic blunt object to beat the screaming kid with.
 
Thanks L_G. It wasn't so bad. Except for having no water. The first flight was really turbulant-so the flight atendants couldn't come around a second time-I was so parched after the flight-I hated it.
The whole thing begins to piss me off more and more.
I know its all for "security" but really-its all fucked up.
 
I keep checking the updates on what is and is not allowed and I'm going to be really pissed if I have to toss or check anything. I've been downright anal about checking the TSA lists.

So far all I'm bringing with me is the purse essentials, less my ball point pen and Tide To Go Pen, my iPod, a book, clothes, shoes, and pressed powder make-up in a clear carrying case.

Hm...My clothes will be in travel Space Bags, does anyone think that will be a problem?
