It's probably harder to fake the paperwork for tissue samples.

Human remains are transported pretty often though, so no one's going to raise an eye at that vs dude with a cooler full of livers flying to Vegas.

I like doing the drive from Philly to my parents' place near Detroit once a year but only on a long weekend or something where I can leave early in the morning and drive all day. Also I drive the whole time because it's nearly impossible for me to sleep on any moving vehicle, and I get motion sickness so no reading or handheld gaming either! :negative:

What still astounds me about flying is how many people don't know wtf you're expected to do in a security line, as if the regulations haven't been in place for over a decade. SFO is the god damned worst at this, so many families/people that are just clueless about laptops being in the own bins and all that stuff. For as busy at the airport is, the security is the most inefficient I've dealt with in some time, with Charlotte being the worst I'd experienced before this. They were frisking peoples hair, emptying wallets -- the whole nine yards -- when I flew out of there to get back home after a wedding.

flying with a laptop has gotten better but it's changed from taking it out and powering it on to putting it in its own tray to leaving it in your backpack in the span of like 3 years. same thing with cell phones, cameras, and shoes. they got me this most recent time by apparently giving me complimentary precheck and waiving me through so fast that i didn't get my wallet or belt out, and they didn't have any trays in that line so im not sure wtf i was expected to do in that situation

The whole thing is dumb dumb dumb. They would be better off spending 30 seconds asking each group of passengers a few questions and watching closely.

also the surest way to get extra screening at TSA is taking an early morning flight to cleveland and being grumpy as poo poo because you're going to ohio to go to your grandma's funeral so you sit there and bitch and moan about how slow everything is and about how the entirety of the TSA is incompetent buffoons.

Trust me.

The rules also seem to change depending on the airport and time of year. Last Thanksgiving Dulles was so busy that they just implemented the pre-9/11 TSA rules (belt off and walk through metal detector) and it was awesome

I've definitely gotten razors through TSA in the past (the double-sided kind for safety razors). Only place that called me on it was Orlando and they also took my shaving soap at the same time because "it's a liquid over 3 oz". Bitch it was solid :argh:

Back in the 90's I got a bullet through screening. I used one of my dad's duffel bags for my carry on full of books when I was like 14. Then we get to Hong Kong, I'm going through my pile of wheel of time novels and whoops, there's a loosey 9mm round lying there. Me being paranoid, I rubbed my prints off of it and dropped it in a park a few miles away.

My favorite airport security experience was flying out of Alice Springs, Australia. As we walked across the tarmac to the plan, some guy came running up to the fence and tossed a poster tube over to someone getting on the plane, shouting that he’d forgotten it in the car. Everyone just shrugged and continued boarding the plane.

O'Hare regularly seems to say "gently caress it" and let you go through screening with full pockets, belt and shoes on. Of course once you're through you're stuck in the crowded hellhole that is O'Hare so I guess it evens out.

I was stuck at O'Hare after thanksgiving, they kept delaying the flight in 30 minute chunks for like 4 hours

If you find yourself uttering that phrase, you will never achieve what you want to.

My favorite thing about the republican tax bill is their nod to the fact they're losing the White House in 2020 and maybe one chamber of the lege, so they put a poison pill to gently caress over the non-wealthy in 2027 by expiring all their tax cuts, so they can blame the democrat president and ride another wave of resentment into office. Truly the worst.
