Another Alert!

15 August, 2006

Shoot! Virginia didn't make it. One big mistake she has ever done is to pick Keith as her team. No wonder she handed herself the loss. She should have been aware that this person won't be any good for helping her. You could tell from the way he was acting during the show: he didn't care, he laughed at her, and he wanted money as a guarantee. Oh well, it's just a show anyway!

Heat wave alert is over, here comes another alert. Yeah, the air travel alert. This has happened since the news uncovered the London plot of 24 suspected terrorists who have been arrested last week by British police & British Intelligence. The airports now tighten the restrictions over the air travelers such as:

- Liquids, including drinks, toothpaste, perfume, shampoo, hair gel, suntan lotion and similar items, are banned from carry-on luggage and can not be taken through security checkpoints. Drinks purchased in the airport can not be carried onto flights.

- Medications will be allowed but must be presented for inspection at security checkpoints.

- Baby Formula and breast milk can be brought onboard if a child is traveling.

- Shoes must be removed and screened by an X-ray machine.

- Passengers are asked to arrive at least two hours before flight time to allow for additional screening.

- Laptop computers, cell phones and iPods are among the items banned from British flight. (source from Newsweek)


Well, you'd better prepare yourself being comfortably and easily screened by the security at the airport. I'm sure many of you would find many ways for doing that better. Or you may try this way:
