Skies Get More Unfriendly
The government's stupid ban on lighters goes into effect today. Thanks a lot Richard Reid, you moron. And thanks for nothing Senators Dorgan & Wyden for proposing this ridiculous bill. Idiots. Does anyone really think this will stop a determined bomber? Or do anything but further inconvience those of us who smoke?
And how long do you think it will take for enterprising airport vendors to start selling cheap disposable lighters for $10 each?
Yet another reason to stay at the house.

I just finished packing for tomorrow's trip to Jekyll Island for the drunken brawl a/k/a The Georgia Writers Workshop, and I packed my lighter in my suitcase and found a pack of matches for the trip. Meanwhile truckloads of people are illegally pouring into this country every day and no one, including the Prez, seems to give much of a shit.
::sigh::

I know what you mean, Jim. I assume you don't really mean that you packed a lighter in your checked luggage since that's, you know, illegal.

As long as people aren't questioning why a 200 billon plus defence budget isn't enough to protect it's own country then so far so good, right?

Long live the CIA pension scheme!
