Protecting Americans from hair gel on their toothbrushes

At first I was a little concerned that the Federal government was getting a little too overbearing with their wire tapping and detention centers. But now I admit, I was wrong. They clearly know what they are doing...

When flying the FAA now requires carried on liquids to be in a one quart Ziplock bag. This may seem a little odd in the land of the free... But how many pieces of clothing have been ruined by an exploding toothpaste tube? How many toiletry bags are forever scented by a lotion bottle that was compressed a bit too much?

Clearly Americans can not be trusted to pack their own gels and liquids as they wish, and thus let me be the first to say I will happily give up a bit of my liberty for protection from shampoo covered jeans...

Now if only the Federal government would start helping me pick my favorite television stations so I know what shows I should and should not watch.

Still waiting at the airport... Maybe Erin forgot about me.
