Ok fine. No guns, knives, lighters or sharp objects are allowed past the security checkpoint. But the measures that have been enforced with carrying on liquids, gels etc… Effing Bollocks.

For those that don’t know, all liquids, gels and aerosols must be in 3 oz or smaller containers. Toothepaste tubes rolled up are not allowed and all these things must be placed in a single quart-size zip-top clear plastic bag. You can’t have more than one of these baggies. (check out the l.a.x. site for more info)

The only ones who may not have a problem with the 3oz bottles and zip lock bag are those with O.C.D., in my opinion.

A friend of mine had his laptop stolen. It was a used laptop that he was going to give to his mother. Rather than carrying on 2 laptops, he decided to check the older one in with his luggage. Upon arrival, he noticed it was missing. But the airport is not liable for things like this. Effing bollocks.

Why can’t our luggage be locked? Aren’t they scanned before they’re loaded on the planes?
