Guess where I'm not!

If you guessed, "On a plane to Florida," you would be correct. See, it turns out that as of this morning, the FAA has raised the threat level for air travel and in response, has banned the transporting of any liquids or gels in carry-on luggage

Yikes, I hope you get there safely and in a reasonable amount of time. A few of my co-workers might have to delay their trip to London in a couple days because of the security changes.

There's supposed to be an exception for medications and baby formula. I don't know how they're enforcing it though.

On NPR this morning they said parents need to drink a sip of the baby formula or breast milk to prove it is safe.

At the US consulate in Australia a few years ago now, i got quite a shock when the guy held up my water bottle, and went "what is this?" then instructed me to drink from it. But at least they let me through with it.
