I have seen the damage a crochet hook can cause first hand. They should also be banned from the bedroom.
I have no fear of flying. I learned sky diving years ago and have made more take offs than landings in a plane. There's a joke in there somewhere I think.
My problem is with the security measures imposed today. More accurately with the implementation of these methods. I understand the need the Government felt to impose them, I just don't like going through them. (Then again I wasn't happy many years ago when they banned smoking on planes. I'm still looking for the "no cheap perfume" section.)
I do remember a trip from NYC to Saudi Arabia back in the early 80's that was so boring (all I had was a Walkman and I had already run through the batteries) that I was tempted to inquire about the nature walk on the wing that they promised over Russia.
