I engaged in a bit of civil disobedience myself this weekend. I deliberately borded a flight from Norfolk, VA. to Jacksonville, FL. with a contraband Bic lighter *gasp* smuggled in my pocket! I was curious to see if it would set off the metal detectors. And I wanted a cigarette upon arriving in Jax.

Yeah, I was a bit nervous at first but I slipped right through. I guess in the eyes of TSA I am an arch criminal who jeopardized dozens of lives with my blatant disregard for the law and public safety.

I wouldn't advertise that too much.

Some "junior Homeland Security informant" might rat you out for a McDonalds Happy Meal courtesy of your tax dollars.

(Granted, we're not to that point yet, but rapidly getting there)
