Every Picture Tells A Story, Don't It?

This makes me very glad I'm not flying during the holidays. This is the scene from O'Hare in Chicago. One airport. One day. One moment. I'm sure it replayed many times in every airport.

God, we Americans have a lot of stuff!

And let's not forget a pair of security tips:

•Remember, food items are subject to screening. Pumpkin pie (which has a gel-like consistency) and fruitcakes (which are very dense) are allowed, but may require extra screening.

•Dress the part. You'll have to take off your shoes, coats and any bulky sweaters and sweatshirts before screening.

So what exactly does extra screening of a pumpkin pie entail?

And the second one should probably read: "UNdress the part."

Save time, fly naked.
