The fact that they had to pay someone to design these signs, then pay someone else to print said signs, and then pay yet another person to place them in standing placard holders randomly dispersed throughout the security checkpoint lines - all these things amaze me*.


















Santa himself, natch. Bag full o' gifts (possibly) included.

*Almost as much as it does that they feel they have a very legitimate need to produce these signs

  2. I saw this sign too when I flew out of LGA two weeks ago. I really had to give it a good eye roll. I've flown home snow globes from multiple different locations before. It always amuses me how inconsistent regulations are on carry-on items. How important can it be to our safety if there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how it is enforced?
