ChicagoTARDIS, pre-con

[neadods]

I'm glad I put a "dear TSA, I bring the wine to dinner" note in my bag, because they broke in and had a good look -- all the bottles were out of the protective wrapping and label up -- but they were all still *there.*

Had a great Thanksgiving meal.

Got registered this morning. After all that, La Orman is not listed on the race panel, although she does list her essay on the program.

Now the big dilemma is -- do I get my favorite BF audio signed by all the main actors? I could, but it'll cost me $40 for Sophie's and Sylvester's autographs. Which I have on something else. And the cd's only worth $25.

My partner notes that there's a legitimate reason for TSA to check wine bottles. It's apparently very easy to make a fluid-mixture bomb using the components of nitroglycerin inside thin plastic sacs, with an easily-hidden "stirrer" device to puncture the sacs at the desired time. And a wine-bottle-sized amount of nitroglycerin would be a pretty damn big bomb.

Shoot, I was just thinking of Molotov cocktails.

I figured it was three in there that would trigger some search. Still got one left that's coming home (I hear tell of a chocovin cake recipe) -- hope it's still there when I arrive.
