Flyer, take warning.

So, I’m about to scramble out the door to make sure I have enough time to get through security this morning.  Why?  Well, if you haven’t been watching the news, some damn Limey whack-jobs decided they were going to try and blow up planes headed for the US today. What that means, though, is that for the first time in a very, very long time, we’re on a red-fucking travel alert.  They’re so serious about this that they’ve even banned any kind of liquid as part of your carry-on bags.  No water, no drinks, no nothing.  Fucking terrorists.

So, now, I get to scramble the dog into the vet and rush my ass off to the airport so I can get through security and sit and wait for fucking hours before my flight.  You know why the damn terrorists are expecting to find paradise filled with virgins?  Because these fucking damn lame sons-of-bitches have their fundamentalist heads so far up their terrorst asses that they couldn’t possibly be smart enough to reproduce!  Pardon my religious intolerance, but I just don’t understand the rationale for killing innocent civilians to prove a fucking political point.  Do they really think it gets them any kind of sympathy?  Do I sound fucking sympathetic to their damned cause this morning?

Well, once I’m through security, if I can get a wifi link out, I’ll post about how easy or hard it was to get through security.  At least, I know I’ll be more or less safe on the plane now.

Fucking, dumb-ass terrorists.
