Flyin
I was prepared for airport mishaps. Contrary to popular belief, I do not know everything there is to know. I scanned my ticket at the kiosk to save time only to find myself at the desk anyway. Maybe they want to be friendly and personable by calling out names. They called me Clara. I was then off to be scanned. I walked the maze of ropes and grabbed a bin. Off went the shoes, coat and purse. I was pulled aside and an officer took all of my stuff and said, "Come with me, maam." I was asked if there was anything in my purse that could stab him. Define stab. I thought a pen might but my hesitation made him nervous. I said no. I was given a long lecture because I had not put my lip gloss in the plastic bags that were provided. Just ask me if you have any questions about airport security. I am quite the threat as I could gloss you right in the face.

Wow - they've tightened that back up just since September - Carmex tubes were fine then... I'm a Carmex addict so when gloss was previously banned, during business flights, I would squirt some on a kleenex and fold the tissue up in my purse. I still got pulled aside, but, for the life of them, they couldn't figure out where the liquid was in my purse. And...strangely, neither could I. Deceitful? Too bad - not going a plane ride without my Carmex. I stole a blanket once too (not at the airport). But that's another story.
Wow. The last time I flew, they were to the taking off of the shoes, but way before the liquid scare. Crap, I boarded the plane with a pound of Brach's candy, six mini-bottles of liquor, a cd player, a giant book of cd's and about fifty (cheap) AA batteries in my carryon. I would think that looked much more suspicious than GLOSS. haha! So glad you're back and that you had a good time!!
Just don't gloss yourself in the foot before you even get started.
