Airport shut down over jars of honey

[Derek]

TSA authorities recently shut down the entire operation at Bakersfield airport in California, after finding what they thought was a container of liquid explosives.

Luggage screeners discovered five Gatorade bottles full of an &quot;amber&quot; liquid. <span style="font-weight: bold">TSA agents then opened the bottles and complained they smelled &quot;a strong chemical odour,&quot; complained of &quot;nausea&quot; and were taken to hospital for treatment.</span>

According to Reuters, &quot;Kern County Sheriffs deputies, fire crews, FBI agents and members of a joint terrorism task force responded to the scene and spent the day questioning Ramirez before further tests showed that the liquid was honey.&quot; (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUS...)

<span style="font-weight: bold">Apparently, TSA employees don't even know what honey looks or smells like.
When they smell honey, they mistakenly believe they're under chemical attack and engage in all sorts of theatre by acting like they're experiencing nausea, so they can be carted off to hospital and take the rest of the day off work - leaving passengers to stand around cussing anyone with olive skin and a beard.</span>

It is tracking to be uneconomical to use air travel soon. It is already unprofitable to invest in it.

I suppose ther will come a time,When will it be abandoned, for other means and only used as mode of travel of last resort?<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: J kid</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Derek</div><div class="ubbcode-body">

And all the support industries that exist to serve that mode of transport.
From gas stations, to motels, to rest stops, to repair shops.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: J kid</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I am sure di rental cyar people mus bi loving all ah dis, it good fi fi dem business. </div></div>

Can you imagine travelling at least 5 to 7 days by boat from some destinations to visit Jamaica?
