(Sigh. Those brain cells are getting more unreliable by the month...) Either one. :-) Though Samantha could be Megan's mom. Now *there's* a family I'd like to know... (Transformers 3 (i.e. Michael Bay) is going to blow up Millennium Park today! There's one of those city projects that was supposed to cost $100M, and ended up costing a half-a-billion...)

Is that like the Peppermint Patty Fashion Police? From Caren's post, it is. But it sounds like they're there to keep an eye on you as much as some goofball that dislikes Americans and/or Europeans... No thanks. I'd rather take the sharp stick in the eye again.

When it comes to choosing a vacation destination, if I have to deal with any more security than encountered at US airports, then I'm not going. In fact, it has to be a very, very long drive to get me to travel via airplane. It's not that I am concerned for my safety, but I just can't enjoy myself in an environment that is saturated with security, whether it truly needs it or not. |
