I am an honest, hard working, mild mannered, American citizen. It has been awhile since I flew (I didn't have to take off my shoes last time... it was still optional).

Within a couple weeks I'll be going on a trip with my family and having to deal with these new assinine rules. Just thinking of them gets me upset. Why should I have to take off my shoes and walk barefoot over an area that many many others have walked with their dirty, sweaty feet? I resent the fact that we are treated like we are guilty of something just because we want or feel we need to fly on a commercial airplane. Americans put up with the manure every day.

Benjamin Franklin said that "those who would give up liberty for security deserve neither".

Making us jump thru hoops lets the bad guys win. They think we are cowards.

Besides drinking heavily so I don't care anymore (but then wouldn't be allowed to fly), what can I do to not say something I'd regret to the TSA person who is 'just doing their job'?

My boyfriend and I are planning a vacation. He has never been to NYC, so I kind of really want to show him around and explore together. I was thinking about taking a cruise together too. We would probably do a 7 days or 5 days to the western caribbean. Which one would you recommend? NYC would be cheaper. That's a plus since we are on a tight budget.

I just won a 7-day all expense paid vacation to any city in the world that starts with the letters P.R.I.Z or E. (ex. Paris, Rome, Istanbul, etc...)

Where would you go? I am into diving so, do you also know of any great cities to visit w/ diving as well??? (Palau [though a country, also has 'Palau City'] would be great for diving but nothing else... )

Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

My friends want me to bring back some British toffee and I am hoping on buying tea and candy to bring back home. Can I bring food I bought in England into the United States or will it be confiscated at customs?

I will be traveling to Ireland and England this June each for a week. I can bring not more than one large suitcase. What kind of clothing should I pack and do I need a converter for my electronics or plug ins.

I live in New York, going on a cruise to the Carribean leaving out of Port Canaveral, Florida. People have asked for me to bring back some liquor. I know that liquor bought on an island or on ship will be held by the cruise ship until we return to Florida. However, my concern is how to get it back to New York via plane.

1) What is the best way to protect the bottles in my check-in luggage?

2) I have a wheeled duffel-bag type of bag. Would this be sufficient to protect the bottles (I do not think so as it is soft material throughout), or should I buy a "traditional" suitcase that has a definite shape?
