A couple weeks ago my family came to New York, where I live, from my hometown near Salt Lake City. Before leaving, my mother had purchased a small tube of lotion and put it in her purse. When she got to the security checkpoint at the airport, she realized she still had the lotion. She handed it over to the TSA worker who told her that it would be donated to a local homeless shelter. Could it be that the FAA ban on liquids is really a plot to rid the country of homeless people, through the use of explosive liquids?

Sure makes you start wondering about the stupidity of making people give up their toothpaste and lotion… I mean, if the stuff is truly dangerous, why are we giving to homeless people? And if it isn’t dangerous, why are we making people give it up?
