I agree with most of this, but this article conflates “denying boarding” with “being removed from the plane after being permitted to board”.
Those are two very different acts, and they have different rules both at a federal level and within the carriage agreement at the airlines.
Long story short:
-They can deny…

You also have the right not to buy a plane ticket.

Not drinking it within a week.

where do we leave suggestions? 3 ingredient happy hour: George Throrogood edition: 1 bourbon, 1 scotch, and 1 beer.

Airlines are going to fight it - they don’t want hundreds of lithium ion batteries in their cargo holds, nor do they want the liability of valuable electronics in checked bags.

I’ve lost enough stuff in checked in luggage that’s been “searched” that I will not put anything in checked in luggage that I don’t mind replacing when I land.

And on top of that, the “dangerous” laptops are still on the fucking plane, so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

the ban is not a ban

I just spent 10 months bouncing around Europe with just carry on luggage, including a small backpack crammed with all the electronics I need to run my transcription business from the road, including my laptop. Am I glad I just barely missed this current window of insanity. My entire life is on my electronic devices.…

That’s a reasonable assumption to make, but it’s not the same thing at all. There are a lot of moving parts up in there, man.

This issue is one of the many things the body does differently when you’re pregnant. I had no idea! They really should add “pregnancy” to the article

Also good for people who are sexually involved with vagina-having people to understand as well!

Clearly women’s bodies are terrifying and/or disgusting! /s

Thanks so much for posting this. It definitely helps to discern that line between “this is normal” and “doctor time”. These are the sort of things that are NOT DISCUSSED ENOUGH with women, and the shame of our private bits is so great that many (especially young) women won’t even talk to their doctors about something…

My very best friend lost her college-age son the day before Thanksgiving in a house fire (all his roommates had left for home and the fumes from the electrical fire killed him before the smoke detectors even went off). I want to do something for her, and would appreciate any and all suggestions. He was just the most…
