LOL @ The TSA

Ok, so I'm flying to Chicago this weekend and I wanted to go over all the restrictions to make sure I'm not going to violate any of them. I found out that I can bring a disposable razor on board, by the way, just not a razor blade.... Because of course disposable razors don't actually have blades. Oh, uh...

Anyway, here's some other things I found:
"All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers..."
and...

"Must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon size bags or bags that are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. Each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag."

Ok... wow? And limiting each traveler to only one "
quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag" helps how? Of course there are exceptions for "baby formula, breast milk, and other essential liquids".... like terrorists wouldn't be able to use them.

But whatever... If you read down a little farther, you see that they encourage you to
"follow the guidelines above and try not to over-think these guidelines." Ok, sure... I'll go on like a blind sheep and not questiong the logic of what you're telling me. No problem.

The next sentence says to:
"Please pack liquids, gels, and aerosols in your checked baggage even if you do not normally check a bag."
I stopped reading.

If you use a 1 gallon bag, you're with the ter'rists.
