I had to argue with a security guard yesterday because I had four airplane-style bottles of tequila in a clear plastic bag, coming back from Mexico. She said, “They’re supposed to be in a Ziploc bag.” I said, “I was in Mexico and didn’t see any Ziploc bags. But this one is clear plastic.” She calls over a supervisor and after chiding me to do it right next time, they let it slide.

For the makers of Ziploc, this is the greatest business opportunity since the dawn of crack cocaine. They’ve got the whole Homeland Security agency as a sales force.

Technically, you can have as many three-oz. containers as you can fit in your resealable, clear, one-quart plasic bag. I am also puzzled as to how x-rays will reveal whether your three oz. bottle of hair gel is really hair gel and not plastic explosives, but maybe TSA has special explosive-spotting x-rays.

My head explodes anew every time I fly. Metaphorically, anyway.

What about on board procedures?

When the pilot expressly demands that we turn off all electronics, I get worried that some kid is going to down the plane by playing a miniature video game.
