Packing
Finally finished packing at 11:00 PM tonight. Doublechecked the FAA Web site for travelers to make sure I had packed my carry-on bags correctly. The site is so funny. I’m glad to read that while cattle prods may not be packed in your carry-on, you are welcome to pack those in your checked luggage. Same goes for sabers, throwing stars and meat cleavers. Awesome! The site says nothing, however, about electric morningstars. Guess I’ll have to leave that item at home.
The rules sure are confusing (see Washington Post article), but this TSA poster should clear things up:

I hope you and your carry-on bags made it safely to Nigeria. We missed you on the 11 mile run today.
