Now the TSA is "randomly" swabbing hands for "explosive materials".
TSA to swab airline passengers' hands
Fabulous. Here's a problem:
Because some legal substances -- such as fertilizers and heart medicines -- can result in "false positives," Stanley said the ACLU also wants to ensure that people who test positive be treated respectfully.
Thanks, ACLU, for looking out for us while The Man tries to find another way to make us miserable.
Oh, hi, 80 year old grandmother, you have swabbed positive! Break out the handcuffs! What's that? You are taking heart medicine? Suck it Grandma, you're going down.
Welcome to 2010. Enjoy your post body-cavity-search and naked x-ray machine and hand-swabbing flight!
Important notices
Notice my new header photo! I will try to put a note here anytime I change it. This is from my trip to Italy last September. We had a lovely day at the Avignonesi Vineyards and Winery in Tuscany.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. The living room paint color took four tries and we had to paint the final color twice because we screwed up the wall after the first time trying to put a shelf up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks. The garbage disposal was also leaking and getting worse. Then it fell off recently and I reattached it, after which the leaks from the disposal stopped. Good thing we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.
