Seems, they really are buckling down which is for our safety, but it makes not fucking sense the way they are doing it. i had to go from NY to Boston on business today for a day trip.

first, they were giving a 65 yr old man hell because he compiled his medication into one bottle instead of having the separate bottles for each medication...I know you are supposed to carry the bottle on you, but come on! Give a guy a break, I didn't know the DEA's job was being done by the TSA now.

Secondly the most important is that 50 feet away from my terminal, I bought a bottle of water. Now I know we can't bring liquids onto the plane, but (silly me) I assume if you buy it after the security checkpoint that they know it didn't come from outside the airport since they are confiscating those items at security, So I didn't open it.

Of course, it was taken away from me as entering the plane. I said, "i didn't open it, I bought it right there, here's the receipt". The TSA agent with an armed army soldier next to him said "laughingly", I know, I know, but you can add a substance to the water after you get on the plane maing it a solvent or whatever.

SO here's the punchline...10 minutes after takeoff the stuartess came around and i asked her for a bottle of water...she gave it to me.

What the fuck? is there something different about the water on the airplane from the water in the giftshop next to the airplane?

I don't mind, i'd rather not blow up, but come on...use common sense, typical US government.
