Woe
I think the "no liquids in carry-on" rule for air travel is 1) stupid and 2) really stupid. I was just thinking about this, because if I want to carry on my suitcase as well as a messenger bag, I can't bring make-up of any kind or hairspray. Or shower gel. Or body lotion. Or my friggin' tube of lip gloss.
I can't really afford to buy new once I get to my destination and then dump it again to fly back. Maybe some of these things aren't necessities, but I'll be damned if I walk around with no blemish concealer or the tea tree hydrosol I use to refresh my skin and keep away the nasty bugs that ride around in airplanes.
I fail to see how removing my right to carry personal hygiene and beauty products on an airplane is a productive way to "combat terrorism."
