Business trippin

So tomorrow I fly to Washington D.C. and then drive to Baltimore for a work conference on underage drinking. We got a big grant to help study the effects drinking has on kids...it's apparently bad for them. I'll know more later. But I know there's been some changes in what you can and cannot bring on the plane. I was just going over the list on the Transportation Security Administration's website (http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm) and these items surprised me.

NO:
Meat Cleavers
Sabers
Box Cutters
Ice Axes/Ice Picks
Swords
Baseball Bats
Bow and Arrows (not sure if you can bring them seperately)
Spear Guns
Flare Guns
Ammunition
Firearms
Parts of guns and firearms
Realistic replicas of firearms
Starter Pistols
Axes and Hatchets (not just ice ones, any ones!)
Cattle Prods
Crowbars
Saws
Black jacks (huh?)
Brass Knuckles
Kubatons (again...huh?)
Nunchakus
Stun Guns/Shocking devices
THROWING STARS!
Dynaite
Fireworks
Hand Grenades
Plastic Explosives
Realistic Replicas of Explosives
Gasoline
Cheese in pressurized containers
Jell-O's
Pudding
Whipped Cream
Yogurt or gel like food substance

and finally...

No gel like shoe substances....I shall not be gellin' like a felon...
