Enter to Win an iPod Nano with a Six Word Summary on the TSA Liquid Ban
Raise your hand if you’re ready to enter Cranky’s first contest. Ok, put your hands down now. I can’t see them anyway. (By the way, if you’re a new Cranky visitor, welcome! Please throw some comments out there, and sign yourself up for my daily email.)
I’m very happy to be teaming up with BottleWise to celebrate (curse?) the upcoming 2nd anniversary of the TSA liquid ban. We might as well try to have some fun with it, despite how
much we hate it.
You want details? I got details. You have from right now until 9p Pacific Time on August 15 to come up with your best six word summary about the liquid ban. Just come up with your best entry (actually, as many entries as you’d like, but you can only win one prize) and enter it in the comments section below. Once the contest is over, we’ll pick the winners and let you know right here on the blog. The big winner will get a 4GB iPod Nano® while the three runners-up will each get a BottleWise Duo™ wine travel bag.
Why six words? Legend has it Ernest Hemingway responded to a challenge to write a six-word story with what he said was his best work: “For sale: baby shoes. Never used.” Here’s my best shot so far, though sadly I can’t pick myself as the winner.
“Ziplocs make for neglected toiletry bags”
Now it’s your turn.
¡Buena suerte! (That’s “good luck” for those who are Spanish-ly challenged.) Leave your responses in the comments section below.
Terms and Conditions
Contest open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and Washington, D.C., 21 years or older at time of entry. There is no purchase necessary to enter or to win, nor is there any cost to register. This is an online-only contest. The Contestant is deemed to be the holder of the established email account associated with the entry. BottleWise LLC and The Cranky Flier reserve the right to reject and disqualify any submissions which, in their sole discretion, are deemed to be offensive or in any way inappropriate. BottleWise LLC and the Cranky Flier assume no responsibility for entries unable to be processed for any technical reason. Contest closes Aug. 15, 2008, at 9:00 p.m. Pacific.

Edited 8/5 @ 254p to remove the “s” from Buena Suerte. Fat fingers, apparently . . . (and no, the irony is not lost on me).

Zip-loc Accused Of Conspiring with TSA

4 ounces doesn’t make planes explode.
My bladder can carry 15 ounces.
I should have bought Ziploc stock.
Surrender 3.7 ounces of freedom weekly.
TSA can’t convert ounces to milileters.
My deodorant is clear solid, idiot.The last one is from the day they enacted the total ban. A TSA drone took away my deodorant, looking confused when I tried to explain the concept of a clear stick.

Don’t you understand about potential terrorists?
This is what your government wants.
This is what your government requires.
I’m just doing my job, okay?
Go over there and empty your bag.
Can’t you read? Don’t you understand?
You just bought this wine? So?
You’re really holding up the line.
I don’t care how much it cost.
No, I can not make an exception.
No, that bottle does not look empty.
Go to the end of the line.
Go check it–or toss it.
3 is the magic number today!
That doesn’t look like 3 ounces.
Your prescription? Did you write this?
This is mouthwash? It’s not green!
Who told you mascara was OK?
Why didn’t you bring a baggie along?
It’s not me–it’s the law.

No more secure, but much thirstier.
Heck of a job, Kip Hawley.
9-11 changed everything; toothpaste now dangerous.
Fear will keep populace in check.
Boo! Terrorists will kill with liquids!
Oh how I hate the TSA.

“I call it ‘Transportation Stultifying (mis-)Administration.”
For those SAT-challenged among us (I’d suggest that any of the three meanings fits):
stul·ti·fy [stuhl-tuh-fahy]
–verb (used with object), -fied, -fy·ing. 1. to make, or cause to appear, foolish or ridiculous.
2. to render absurdly or wholly futile or ineffectual, esp. by degrading or frustrating means: Menial work can stultify the mind.
3. Law. to allege or prove (oneself or another) to be of unsound mind.
[Origin: 1760–70; < LL stultific?re, equiv. to L stult(us) stupid + -i- -i- + -fic?re -fy]—Related forms
stul·ti·fi·ca·tion, noun
stul·ti·fi·er, noun
stul·ti·fy·ing·ly, adverb—Synonyms 2. cripple, impede, frustrate, hinder, thwart.

Here’s a few to chew on:
Enslave no more! Free our liquids!
Liquids should be shared, not imprisoned.
Stop wasting plastic by captivating liquids.
Ban more liquids, buy Ziploc stock!
Freedom is slavery. Ban more liquids.
Who needs water on a flight?
Baggies - helping to miniaturize our world.
Shouldn’t three ounces really be enough?
Because small is the new big.
If at first you don’t exceed….

Laws that can change your life
2020 Headline: What were they thinking?
Water wasted; plastic dumps; landfill crisis
Airport bins; American excess; Earth’s wasteland
Water: mankind’s most precious commodity wasted
Confiscated toiletries; ugly passengers; smelly aircraft
Future generations’ curse: water shortage worldwide
Boycott airport retailers; laws change quickly
Our legacy: they just didn’t care -
effective security theater requires inane subjectivity
-
Take the Chertoff my back, too.

Taking a sip isn’t enough anymore

Liquids-free, high altitude equals cranky attitude.
Liquids-free at high altitude=cranky attitude.
Cranky attitude: Liquids-free at high altitude.
Flying wine-less makes cranky fliers whiny.
Why whine? Pack wine. Fly wisely.
Why whine? Pack wine. Fly happy.
Fly secure: Pack liquids and wine.
Fly secure: Pack liquids alongside wine.
Fly secure: Pack liquids and bottles.
Fly secure: Pack liquids alongside bottles.
Pack your liquids alongside your wine.
Pack your liquids alongside your bottles.
Don’t carry on! Relax. Pack bottles.
Don’t whine. Get wise. Check bottles.
Don’t whine. Get wise. Check wine.

I decided to crank a few more:
Limited Liquids cause citizen complaints
TSA Rules: Neither Transportation Nor Safety
TSA Winning War 3.7oz by 3.7oz
TSA: Winning War liquid by liquid
Ziploc must write regs, TSA lapdog
TSA: Poor thinking beats good logic (everytime) -
Liquid? No! Well maybe three ounces…
-
Creating false security through stupid rules
-
The TSA: We’re right, you’re wrong.
TSA: Hating on Arabs since 2001
Useless rules, no likey, no flyey
Trust uncle Kip for plane safety

Cranky fliers mean the terrorists win.
Don’t be cranky else terrorists win.
Terrorists lose when fliers fly happy.
Fly happy and the terrorists lose.
Empty overhead bins equals more room!
Empty overhead bins now storing passengers.
