On my flight from hawaii to LA, someone finally noticed my tiny bottle of eyedrops and two mini lube packets. They’ve been in there since before I left for europe. That means I’ve flown to & from baltimore, as well as to oakland and hawaii with those in there and TSA never noticed. I mean, they’re small and all, but still I was breaking the rules (I honestly hadn’t remembered). 4 flights. But as the TSA guy was putting them in a ziploc baggie he made some inane comment about how they were all eye care products, and I responded that 1 of them was. To which he verbally plugged his ears and said “nyah, nyah, I’m not listening”: “Yup, they were all eye care products.” <\/p>\n
You know, if you’re going to be digging through people’s bags for a living, a couple lube packets seems like something you should get used to real fast. <\/p>\n
Also, on the supershuttle from ken’s place, I happened to share a ride to LAX with the CTO for the ubuntu linux people. He gave me a promo cd and encouraged me to check it out. I may just. I’ll have to get an lcd screen first, though…<\/p>\n
PS, I left before the earthquake, and none of my family got hurt in the earthquake. Just in case anyone was worried.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
