Fun Things To Take On Airplanes

[This was composed on the bus, and posted from the wireless network in the Pittsburgh airport. Heaven help me if they're sniffing the network. :-)]

So I'm sitting here on the 10:00 28X with Em, Mike, Chris, and Brian, and the topic of conversation is: Fun Things To Take on Airplanes!

Suggestions:

Wear chainmail!

Wear a trenchcoat. When they ask you if you have metallic items, whip it open a-la Neo, to reveal -- fake Rolexes!

Knitting needles

Ninja stars

Metal beer steins

Highway signs

A metal walking stick -- with a sword in it!

Chainmail bikini!!

Katana

"Pull an Aragorn" (picture Aragorn unequipping himself entering the hall of Theoden...)
