You visited a few times and I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
A 16 year old boy was detained by the FBI for plotting to hijack a plane from Los Angeles to Nashville. He was removed from the flight in Nashville where authorities discovered he was carrying “suspicious” items.
The boy was carrying handcuffs, rope and duct tape in his bag. The FBI say that “His plan had a low probability of success”. Well I guess it tdepends what his plan was, if it was to have some kinky fun in the toilets then I think his plan was not that unlikly to suceed.
The FBI said that they were not sure if the boy was trying to crash the plane and it has not been confirmed if he was carrying anything else or that what he was carrying was banned from air travel. Although handcuffs, rope and duct tape are certainly not listed as prohibited on the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s web-site (fortunatly).
Now the facts are still unclear as to what the boy’s plans were or exactly what lead the FBI to suspect him of plotting to hijack the plane. But that’s not the part of the story that sparked my interest.
I don’t travel light and this makes me nervous. Whenever I travel by train I always get really worried about letting my bag out of my sight. I just picture it getting stolen and me trying to claim on my insurance or reporting it as stolen. Having to fill in the insurance claim form and trying to explain what exactly was in the bag.
Even on a night out in town with my mates my handbag is not exactly empty either and I hang onto it like my life depends on it.
I’m a rather impulsive person so like to be prepared for whatever mood may take me. On an average night with my mates I’d have:
- a bottle of my favourite lube
- lots of condoms – I’m not really into quickies
- handcuffs (although depending what kind of bar I’m in I may hang them off my belt)
- silk scarves ( to tie and blindfold)
- some kind of mini vibrator
- a digital camera
That’s if I have my small bag with me.
So when I travel by plane you can imagine what kind of “suspicious” items I’ll have with me and I always worry that I’l have to open up my suitcase. Though I’ve never really cared for duct tape and only use something like that if there is nothing else to hand. So that’s one less thing for me to worry about. I much prefer my rope.
One thing I have learnt the hard way about travelling with your tool kit is to make sure your remove the batteries!!!!! A vibrating suitcase is not that easy to explain.
