As I said in my post, it's for those times where you want to travel very, very, very light. I consider USB drives to be disposable, like a ball point pen.

So is it true what the media says that approx. 60% of Muslims in the U.K. under the age of 24 would rather be living under Sharia law? Just curious.

Mike,

Thank you!!!

Depends which section of the media your talking about. Sharia Law has been demonised in the west because it's mostly practiced in country's that are Theocracies or Dictatorships that use Islam as a method of control. If practiced as presribed by the Koran, Sharia Law is scrupliously fair. It demands a very high moral standard from Muslims. It also has a strong element of retribution. It's biggest weakness is that it evolved in a tribal, desert environment. Many young Muslims consider British Law to be immoral and I have to say that that when it comes to people who murder for gain, rapist's, drug pusher's, peadophiles etc I tend to agree with them.
One other point, or rather two:
1) I am not a Muslim.
2) Anyone who tries to impose Sharia Law on me or mine will regret it.

sounds real cruel and nasty...

just dont allow anyone of muslim origin...to enter the US...

Deport all those who have no legal right to be here immediately...no questions/answers etc
Quickly/decisively!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ban all arab /easern flights into US for a week

I heard it on television (can't remember which channel, a <doh!> on my part). I found this article when googling the subject, but I tend to be skeptical of newspapers/media with the name "New York" in front of it. What do you think of it, Leigh? I'm just wanting to learn here. Ditto on anybody trying to enforce Sharia law around here. We don't have many camels to pay each other back in Tennessee, so that part wouldn't work here anyway, heh. (I think a locally fictitious guy nicknamed "Sgt. Humper" in the TN Natl. Guard's 278th Armored Cav. Regt.back from Iraq had one locally it was rumored)

If airline ban shampoo, toothpaste, what the hell are we suppose to clean ourselves at next destination. Are we suppose to buy those small disposal toothpaste and shampoo at hotel.

Airline travel is becoming much more expensive from this date.

It is just a ban on carry-on. You can still put this stuff in your checked suitcase. Not being able to carry shampoo does not bother me. If your bags get lost, the airlines will usually offer you an overnight kit consisting of shampoo, toothbrush, comb, etc.

What does bother me is not being able to carry more essential items: drinks, non-perscription skin lotions, lip balm, and other things that people may need due to various medical conditions.

Well, the entire "paranoia" mindset also bothers me too.

I just cancelled my plans to fly to a conference and take my family for a vacation. WIll probably take a week Hawaiian Islands cruise with them instead. The terrorists can make me blow off work, but not family time!
