“I really do not understand why anybody would want to go anywhere,” Bill Threlkeld wrote. “Stay home. Read a book. Tend your garden. Make love. Drink wine. But most of all — stay home.”
Suits me. I'm dreading the flights to my brother-in-law's wedding in September. Not because I'm afraid of flying. I'm sulky that I can't take my water bottle on a 4+ hour flight, and probably should forego the iPod as well. I'd much rather spend my vacation sitting on the deck here with a cold Chardonnay, in fact.

Right now, it sounds as if once you're past security at Heathrow, you can purchase things to bring on board with you unless you're flying to the US: in that case, no liquids of any sort: water, perfume, toothpaste, etc. *sigh*
I do want these draconian measures, which really don't do much of anything to keep us safe, lifted very, very soon. Of course, I resent having to take off my shoes in US airports -- as if that really does anything to make us safe. :(
