There was a very drunk Aussie at the 97 world sf con in japan that poured
beer in my shoes (his friend was very apologetic) but yea otherwise,
vegemite is the wort you got.

Now I am trying to make it to lax in 3 storms. I had them hand checked 11
rolls of 120 on Friday. I hope they will handcheck the exposed ones.

Hmm, I think that all of our business and leisure travel dollars will be
redirected to Europe and Asia over USA and Canada for the foreseeable
future. We see some of the restrictions implemented as security  to be
arbitrary, overly intrusive, unpleasant and unreasonable while not
necessarily being effective. When was the last time an Aussie carried
anything more dangerous than Vegemite into LAX?
Just my apply for permission in advance, three hours prior to departure
queued, double security procedured, carry on xrayed and pulled apart,
suitcases unlocked to save the thieves some inconvenience, liquid
restricted, questioned, through clothing body scanned, metal detected,
patted down, jet lagged two cents worth.
