[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 48944, member: 1991"] Something I've had a giggle over, it's the people asking, "How are you getting there?" Like, we could walk? Not! There aren't any sea voyages (apart from private ones) and I don't like the idea of being anywhere near the Southern Ocean in winter, not after the iceberg that floated past New Zealand last year. The only way is to fly! I'm worrying about airport security now. It's flamin' stupid. It's also very arbitrary - they give us a list of what not to bring, then include other categories, such as "anything which security personnel consider to be a security risk." It really is as stupid as, "Maam, those chocolate bullets - the packet calls them 'bullets', I'll have to confiscate them." Technically, a drawing of a hand gun would be confiscated. I'm not even going to bother with carry-on luggage - it's all going in the hold luggage. Even cosmetics - it's just too much trouble to work it all out. Lipstick, toothpaste, jars of Vegemite - all can get confiscated. Baby bottles containing made-up formula. And that was last time we checked - now we're past June 1, we need to check again, they did warn that security was going to tighten. At least we don't ALL get body searches. Unless they've just upgraded to that. Marg [/QUOTE]
