Idle ramblings....

... totally disparate, too!

(1) Airport security needs a kick in the butt, with my pointy toed sandals!
On my flights to and from Koh Samui, I had lighters in my hand carry.... el-cheapo plastic lighters... damned if I was going to have my zippos with me for them to confiscate, eh? But you know what? Nope. Scanned twice at each airport, and not a peep from the buggers!

For fuck's sake.... one lighter going to Samui, TWO lighters coming back to SG. But they confiscated my bottle of water. Go figure. Isn't a lighter more dangerous than drinking water?


(2) Oh gawds... I might be going to Scotland in 2009 with this
crazy woman wahey! Would be fantastic! Now I just need to figure out how to save a minimum of $3K in 4 months :o

Maybe you were going to ignite that bottle of alcohol you were carrying. ;-)

A lighter is more dangerous, but due to persistent lobbying from cigarette companies, everyone is allowed to carry at least one. How else is a smoker going to get his/her fix the minute they land?

It was actually hard enough banning smoking from flights. In the 50s if you flew Pan-Am and other major airlines you could light up at will on board.
