There, now, don't you feel safer?
A note from my doctor to TSA screeners, to be carried on my person when I fly:
Our patient, Greg van Eekhout, has insulin-dependent diabetes. He will need to have blood testing equipment for his sugars as well as insulin and syringes on him. We do not consider him to be a security risk for flight travel.
I couldn't get my doctor to note also that I am violently allergic to magnetometers and x-rays. And long lines. And lack of leg room.

Is there a version that ends with "...we do consider him a security risk for flight travel"?

Now I know who to blame for that Code Orange. ;)
How come there's not a Code Brown?

Brown is orange. Just darker. It's like pink and red - the nomenclature obscures the truth.

Bro - I actually had the British Airways gate agent advise me to carry MORE syringes in my carry on ... just in case we had to divert to Iceland or someplace less hospitible.
Good Note to carry. I wonder if it'll get me through the tolls on the turnpike?

Awesome seeing you, Bill. Glad we got to hang out a bit, and it was really great to meet Laura. Thanks for the New Castle!

Irony is, you're trained in martial arts. But I guess that's not a liquid. *sigh*

Heh, I'm still more a danger to myself than others, but my instructors routinely board planes with things like iron needles and canes that, in their hands, really are deadly weapons.
