live coral a terrorist threat?!?!

[whatcaneyedo]

So I was taking a short trip a few months ago to another city and while I was there I thought it would be nice to scope out some of their LFS and maybe even buy some new coral that I could bring back with me (only an hour long flight). However seeing the new signs up in the airport I thought I should ask first about carrying on a bag of water with a fish/invertebrate in it... Cant be done. The new rule is no liquid over 100 mg or something and they dont make exceptions for liquid containing living organisms... Seriously. I'm more afraid of the staff at airports and not the passengers because of how ridicules and irrational they have become.

And lets not forget how a few weeks ago the airport cops in Vancouver BC Canada tasered a man to death because he couldnt speak english and was getting really frustrated trying to get home. Didn’t hear about it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjwUn...eature=related now you have.
