The danger of chicken cutlets

With the change in travel restrictions, I'm getting a little concerned about all the traveling we are about to undertake.  I am not a fan of flying, though I have no problems with flying.  Sounds sorta contradictory doesn't it?  Okay, if I need to fly, I'll fly.  The delays involved in flying or the hassles I need to go through don't rattle me.  For some, they grate their nerves like mad.  I'm that way, I have the patience of Job.

That doesn't mean I enjoy flying.  Who likes being shoved into a cattle car with someone who hogs the arm rest?  Or for someone who hasn't bathed in days and insists on exposing their smelly armpits to you?  That's when I turn up the air vent full blast and keep my nose upturned the entire trip, bathing in the smell of fresh air.

What is bothering me is the restrictions for carry-on luggage.  Checking luggage is going to be a pain.  I'm a traveler who tries to keep everything they need in 1 bag.  There's a good reason for that.  I check-in online and never have to wait in the check-in line.  That saves me 30 minutes to an hour of standing time.  I just need to wait 30 minutes to an hour in the security line.  Why add another hour already?

But now I will need to check my bag if I want to bring any liquids or gels.  No hair products, no water, no shampoo, and so-on and so-forth.  I just wonder when the public will say "no thanks, we just won't accept that restriction".

I was talking to our consultant the other day and he was wondering what the new restrictions were.  He wanted to bring his laptop as a carry-on and wasn't sure it was still allowed.  So we went to the TSA site to see what was allowed and what was prohibited.  Luckily his laptop was approved.  What surprised me was that Gel Shoe Implants are prohibited.  What?  With all the standing in queues, having nice shoe gels would be very appreciated.  Okay, so gel inserts are bad.  Then I find this "Gel-filled bras and similar prosthetics - Gel-filled bras may be worn through security screening and aboard aircraft".

You would think you could put more explosive gel in a bra or the little chicken cutlets than you could ever in a shoe gel.  So I was talking to Skyprincess and asked her what she thought would happen if they found a terrorist smuggling aboard a bomb in their bra.  Would the TSA ban bras and breast prosthetics?  Her answer was that it would never happen.

So what do you think?  Is this one line our government would never cross even if it proves to be as much of a threat as gel shoe implants or Carmex lip balm are?
