Party in the security line!

Chow.com has like five blogs associated with the site, and one, Tasting Notes, had a short entry on an example of a minitragedy:
Airport security worker, removing a bag from the X-ray machine: "Excuse me, sir, there seems to be a bottle of 1995 Cristal in your suitcase."

It's amazing how much can be said in so few words. And most of us can relate, because we've seen that bin after the conveyor belt that's filled with hairspray and wine.

Well, it seems one guy gave a big middle finger to the system and about killed himself. He had a liter of vodka in his carry-on, and decided to chug it instead of check it. Like, he drank the whole thing before putting his suitcase through. What. The. Hell. Didn't he figure that it wouldn't matter what he had in his suitcase, if he drank all that in five seconds that he wouldn't be flying anywhere? He must've been high already.

1) I have never seen that bin after the conveyor belt! I'll look tomorrow.

2) I have been known to chug instead of check. Seriously, I'm surprised I wasn't a feature on the show "airline." (Is that still on?) I am also surprised they let me on the plane. Apparently, only choice swear words would come out of my mouth when my fellow travelers suggested I was sleeping. I don't remember most of the flight, which is apparently beneficial because the woman in front of us kept puking.

as a side note, I was coherent enough by the end of the flight to lead our crew from BWI to downtown DC using 3 modes of public transportation. I also had a hangover by 8pm. Classy...
