Do topics on this board even get "heated"? If there's any heat associated with other contributors to BS (formally known as HS), it's not felt by me. But I'm just that way; my emotional compass is broken. I've not been online as I've been thinking about Scott's post from a few days ago...and the fact that we've been traveling since Thursday. Anyway--I think topics generally run their coarse; that's always been my take anyway.
But in the meantime, going through airport security was comical...
Take off your shoes, sir.
She's going to have to take her shoes off too.
My 14 month old daughter needs to take off her shoes?
That's correct sir.
But these aren't shoes; they're Robeez. They're more like slippers.
Slippers, sir?
Yeah--like bedroom slippers. Do babies have to take off their slippers?
I'm not sure, sir.
Well, can we get a verdict?
It'll take a while sir.
It might just be easier if she took off her shoes, sir.
...
Ma'am, we're going to need to search your bag.
My diaper bag? Have at it.
This sippy cup is filled with water. That's contraband, ma'am.
You're not allowed to carry a sippy cup on a plane?
Not if it's filled with water, ma'am.
What is my child supposed to drink?
I don't know ma'am. I guess you could buy water in the secure area.
Well, can I just drink the water myself? That's the only sippy cup that we have.
No ma'am. It's been confiscated.
But it's right there.
I know ma'am. It's been confiscated.
...(a few seconds go by)...
I'll have to be confiscating your lotion ma'am.
My lotion? That's AHAVA. My mother-in-law brought that back from Israel for me. It costs about 30 bucks a tube.
I'm sorry ma'am. Passengers aren't allowed to carry on personal effects such as this greater than 3 ounces.
So you're confiscating my lotion?
I'm confiscating your lotion, ma'am.
(...a second or two goes by...)
Tell you what ma'am. I'll let you get by with the sippy cup, but I've still got to confiscate your lotion.
It's very good lotion you know; 30 bucks a tube. You should keep it for yourself.
I'm sure it is, ma'am. We're not allowed to keep personal effects for ourselves.
Have a nice day.
