Hi all
ever since the Christmas failed terror attempt, I have been more nervous when flying. But with this incident, I believe this is probably just weird packing methods. Some ole school folks do bind objects together hoping that the contents don't spill or fall apart during the tossing and throwing of luggage.
Happy though tough security measures are enforced. My local pop radio, recently threw this awakening question out there to its listeners:
"What airport security measure do you dislike the most?"

Will miss the live broadcast but will catch up w/web videos. Bye all.

She calls me an "idiot" and explains the phones and liquids are explosives.
