>> Your thoughts?

Here’s one tip: pack the pepperoni in your >>checked<< luggage, rather than carrying it on your person.

I think I would buy that 45’ sailing yacht I have always wanted... and avoid the risk.

Well, maybe you don’t need to worry. According to Obama and his merry band of morons, the system worked and this was just an isolated incident.

That might be elevated to Code Brown as many are forced to sit in their seats for the last hour of a flight. What if it takes longer than one hour because you are not allowed to land??? Is there anyone with any common sense left working in the government??? Are they all stupid??

I think you’ll be ok. Terrorists don’t do flights to St. Marten.

>>many are forced to sit in their seats for the last hour of a flight

Sometimes you can’t use bathrooms because flight going through turbulence, etc. but an hour is indeed a very long time.

“We have a bathroom in the front and one in the back. Do not stand in aisles waiting...when you see the light go out you can go into the restroom” (but maybe not now...?)

I remember one Southwest flight from Nashville to Manchester NH (was heading home). I had to pee pretty bad but there was turbulence so I tried to hold it; fortunately, was able to do so, but of course once the plane landed in Manchester I went right to the bathroom
and did my imitation of Tom Hanks in “A League of their
Own” (...in terms of how long I was peeing; no, I wasn’t
going in the sink! :) )

Whew.

Yellow to brown? I could make a really rude joke about that, but I won’t.

Thanks. By the way, I was being silly.
