It is a solid after all.
;)

In the United States, federal officials barred passengers from carrying any liquids, gels or lotions onto planes, except for milk or juice for young children and medicines.

So those gel insoles that they spent all that money on is now down the toilet?
Are you gellin?
Like a terrorist. :roll:

Plasma isn't banned yet, is it? :(

Edit: Also, how am I going to transport my Bose-Einstein condensate?

Who let the nutjob in here?

If they can't bring the explosives on the plane, the plane can't blow up = Safer.

You can bring some alkaline metals with you, and make small explosions.

If you can get the metals on board, (past the x-ray machine and the metal detector) you don't need to bring the water with you.

Next, you'll have to change into government provided jumpsuits, your regular clothes must be shipped in luggage, and in order to get on the plane you have to have RFID passports embedded in your skin(cause there arn't any pockets on these suits and passports = paper and paper can make PAPERCUTS, the HORROR).

I love how willing some people are to give up freedoms for the chance they might be "safer"....

I'm PAYING to fly on the plane, but I can't bring a freakin drink on?

Glad to hear we are foiling the terrorists before they let loose the Dasani bottle explosives disguised as water...

The new rules for airline travelers, which went into effect at noon on Sunday, revise the restrictions that were announced Thursday.

Under the revised rules, beverages, shampoo, lotions, toothpaste, aerosols, hair gels, contact lens solutions, perfumes and nail polish remain prohibited.

Passengers may carry on small doses of prescription drugs if the patient?s name matches the name on the airline ticket, as well as baby formula, breast milk and baby food for passengers traveling with an infant or small child. The rules also allow up to four ounces of nonprescription liquid medication, and up to eight ounces of liquid or gel insulin. Most cosmetics must be placed in checked baggage, but solid lipstick will be allowed in carry-ons.

The rules will also require passengers to remove their shoes for screening. Previously, this was ?strongly recommended,? Ms. Howe said.
