no cosmetics, m'aam

Midnight Lounge correspondent Jim gives first-hand account of his early morning airport experience, hours after a terrorist plot gets thwarted in Britian:
"Imagine, if you will, the pandemonium at the airport as hundreds unsuspecting early morning passengers (who are always running late anyway) are notified that they cannot carry any liquids, gels or aerosols of any kind onboard the plane, including drinks, lotions, perfumes, lipstick, chapstick, anti bacterial hand sanitizers… hair gel(!). I saw women literally crying as they had to part with cosmetics at security. (which of course messed up the cosmetics they were currently wearing.)/span>
It was really interesting to watch the looks on the faces of some spouses as the full impact of what was about to unfold hit them while reading the new signs."
As frightening and serious as the events in Britian may be, the ripple effect of changing the way we all travel (once again) will only cause further chaos to international and domestic excursions, don't ya think? I am a bit shocked about wireless phones, mp3 players, laptops, etc. being banned from carry-on luggage. Of course I'll be the last to balk at this, providing it's in the name of our safety...but damn!
Once again, thanks to our dear friend Jim for sharing with the readers his experience this morning.
