Part of it is money. Women write a check for lunch for $2.74 and men carry and break a $20. Males wouldn't get confused carrying 4,000. Liberals use their Angies Daycare Credit Union debit card for purchases and don't buy Ron Paul materials.

Just days after 9/11 and the airport opened at NOLA, the man in front of me was patted down. I never forgot his line about paying 40 bucks in the french Quarter the night before to get patted down.
It has been with us ever since.

This tends to be a very bothersome issue... especially for the female of the species...

Yes, Ferdinand - BUT - you still have to deal with "example". You can still fall back on " that is not a TSA Prohibited Item,"
