Last month, going through LAX, I had half a dozen carefully wrapped 10-oz bottles of Tapatio in my carry-on. Made the guy on the X-ray machine sorta excited. I had to unwrap a couple bottles, get thoroughly wanded, and listen to a lot of stupid discussion. One of the 'guards' had a little trouble with the pepper spray/hot sauce distinction. The other two explained to him, as nicely as possible, that he was an idiot. A good time was had by all. --d//didn't I see this scene in Midnight Express? _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
