what not to do at the airport (especially in this day and age...)

For fuck's sake, put that shit in the checked luggage, not the carry-on!

Thank God it wasn't a snake!

Did The Drew Carey Show teach us nothing, people?

Besides that Drew Carey is talentless and does not deserve to be on television? Seriously, why the fuck is that hack still on TV???

Amin eventually told investigators he'd lied about the object's true use because his mother was standing nearby when the object was discovered and he didn't want her to know about it,

Right, because having your mother think you're a murdering terrorist is so much better than having her think you have a sex toy.

See, this is why I always leave my sex toys at home when travelling. Especially the ones with wires in 'em.

reminds me of one of my favorite pieces of dialogue from fight club:

...when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police. Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while, it's a dildo. Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article. A dildo, never your dildo.

I always kinda liked Drew, mike. And for a fat slob, he always hat hot girlfriends.

(also, is a penis pump really a sex toy? I mean, it's for practical use, not fun, so it's really more of a sex tool, I suppose.)

Wait, does anyone know if a jelly style vibe is a "liquid or gel", as far as forbidden items is concerned?

Not that, well, you know...

If you can't drink or pour it, it ain't a liquid.

Whose Line was occasionally funny but I hated the Drew Carey show and never ever found Drew himself to be even the least bit funny.

I can see how he would think this.

Yeah, I'd withold judgement on that one until we've met his mom.

I actually was thinking about that, and I'd probably take the bomb excuse over the sex toy thing, you know, mom-wise.
