Air Travel 8.10.2006 HEADS UP!

ARRIVE EARLY TO THE AIRPORT! Due to the incident in London, the US Department of Homeland Security has raised the terror threat level to Red for inbound flights from the UK, and to Orange for the airline industry in general. Expect new restrictions on what you can carry on and expect long lines getting through security checks.

BE FOREWARNED AND BE EARLY!

Be extra careful what you say

No liquid, gels or creams are allowed in your carry on bag. It is almost impossible to find cherry flavored Vaseline in Colombia, so put it in your check-in bag along with the body lotions, creams and Wesson oil.

That's news? They've been saying that for the past five years.
Not being able to carry liquids on the plane sucks, though. Next the airlines will start charging for soft drinks...
