I play a game with my kids on occasion.
Let's say Hannah starts the game.
"I'm Hannah and I'm bringing ham."
Then Tim.
"I'm Tim and I'm bringing turtles and ham."
"I'm Brooke and I'm bringing bananas, turtles, and ham."
You get the idea, right?
It's a fun way to learn other people's names, and the kids help each other remember, too. The old collaborative effort thing.
So I was reading an article this afternoon about some changes in TSA rules regarding what liquids are now allowed on airplanes.
From the article:
There are 11 full-size liquids that may pass through airport security, however. According to The Post, they are the following:
- Over-the-counter medications
- Prescription medication in gel, liquid or aerosol
- Freezer or ice packs for medically necessary items
- Food and drink for toddlers and babies
- Wet batteries
- Live fish transported in water
- Biological specimens
- Breast milk or formula for infants
- Teethers filled with liquid
- Duty-free items sealed in a tamper-evident bag
- Fresh eggs
Okay, medicine and baby food and fish.
Fish are an interesting choice, but okay. But fresh eggs??
Who brings fresh eggs on a vacation? Guys named Elmer?
Anyone have ideas?
Fresh eggs ~ I have never noticed anyone traveling with those! But what the heck are wet batteries????
ReplyDeleteI found an explanation on Google. I think they mean the batteries that you find on an electric wheelchair/scooter. But not sure. Here's what teh google had to say... Flooded batteries, also known as wet cell batteries, have a traditional design consisting of lead plates submerged in a liquid electrolyte solution. The plates are separated by separators, and the electrolyte level needs to be monitored and periodically topped with distilled water.
DeleteEggs, hmmm. Why? 😄
ReplyDeleteYou never know when you're going to need to whip up an emergency omelette.
DeleteThe eggs are a little weird. But I've heard of TSA making mothers throw away their bagged breast milk before though. I swear, I will never fly again. Let's all boycott the airlines and stop flying so they lose a lot of money and maybe they will treat passengers better.
ReplyDeleteIt's gotten really bad. There are usually 10 year gaps between my flights... and I'm always stunned at how much the experience feels like being herded like cattle. I'm already claustrophobic. Ughhh.
