Anti-terrorism restrictions designed by men

Great.

Now if Queenie wants to fly somewhere, which she doesn't think she'll be doing anytime soon due to the awfulness of the security measures now, but if she does, and she has her period, she will be forced to walk around the airport before she boards with all her tampons in a see-through plastic bag.

In case she's a terrorist.

This society is becoming more and more of a nut job every day.

And said tampons may have to be checked to see if they've been soaked in an explosive liquid.

You ain't seen explosive liquid 'til Queenie boils over at check-in, I'm guessing.

Well, if I have to 'check' them to make sure I haven't dipped them in something explosive I will be well annoyed.

Reminds me of the episode of The Young Ones when Neil finds the tampon and puts it in Mike's beer because he doesn't realise what it is.

I am hoping this is like the way they banned nailclippers on flights post 9-11. Unfortunately, I suspect that it would be piece of piss to smuggle these unspecified scary liquids onto an airplane even if you are not carry hand luggage, so I reckon we should just calmly accept that the terrorists have won.

I don't see the problem with just saying "yes, those are my VADGE RAGS pal!"

More worryingly, everyone will now be able to see my enormous stash of cocaine.
