Your Toddler May Be a Terroist...

I caught a glimpse of this story on CNN while I was having lunch the other day, but didn't get to "investigate" until now....

Depending on whose story you believe... a mom (a former Secret Service agent, no less) and her toddler gets detained over water in a the kid's SIPPY CUP. The kid starts to wander off, the mom chases after, and the water falls to the ground...

There's some debate over whether the water was "accidentally spilled" or "dumped" on the floor. Either way, the mom stayed to clean it up and missed her flight and we add yet ANOTHER shining example of how ridiculous and inefficient the TSA truly is.

As if that stupid no-fly list, on which can be found my non-terrorist, All-American, white-bread husband and father-in-law's names, wasn't enough... Sufficed to say, the extra security clearances and detentions required makes traveling with either of them is very un-fun.

I would LOVE nothing more than to go on a summer vacation with my son and husband, but I don't think it's worth the hassle...

BRAVO, dumb asses.
