   Can we just admit that the 100ml liquids on planes is a farce and pure security theatre? There are cops with machine guns in Frankfurt and they let me through with a "oversized" thing of beer jelly we'd bought as a gift for my brother. But we get back to Canada and had a connection, so had to go through security again on this side of the border and they took it. Obviously, this is horseshit.

      Also, if our return flight had been direct instead of into Calgary, we'd have made it back without issue!

         @ink_slinger Part of the reason I detest flight travel is the security theatre.

            @GeoffWozniak It really is one of the worst aspects of flying.

               @ink_slinger Yeah, the seats are uncomfortable, it's crowded, the food is rarely food-like, and you practically sacrifice your financial future to buy the tickets. But *everyone* knows, in their heart of hearts, that taking off your shoes, belt, and such things is total fucking nonsense.
