Any alcohol? Cigarettes? Bear spray? Weapons, including switchblade-type knives? Plastic straws, cotton swabs, drink stirrers, plates, cutlery, balloon sticks or any other one-use plastic items? Please pull over to the secondary inspection area.

Only 4 years, the pain makes it feel like a life time.
What about the packs that pharmacies make for the elderly, that help them monitor what pills to take each day?
