This is complete insanity. What can an airline passenger possibly use a
bag of
peanuts for in a hostile manner? I hope it's just an urban legend.


The pilot could be allergic and be force fed ;-)

Hey, some people are so allergic to peanuts (seriously) that
the slightest exposure will send them into shock. Hard to
call an amulance from 36,000 feet.

Thus airlines are very careful with peanuts. An allergic
person can refuse them but if the person sitting next to
them has them and sneezes....

The result is that the airlines don't serve them and they
do NOT want you bringing your own on board.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the Patriot Act.

Obviously a major security breach.

I predict an investigation by a Senate subcommittee and the firing of
at least a dozen people!

Did Colin Powell know he was lying to the United Nations and US allies?

If so, that will be a dozen more than have been fired as a result of
intelligence gathering and analysis failures concerning 9-11.

No higher official has been canned, AFAIK. No Bush people, no Clinton
leftovers, nobody.

Instead, those same government agencies have had their powers increased,
their leaders' places in the Washington bureaucracy solidified, their
openness to public scrutiny slammed shut.

Isn't that strange to anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

When all's said and done, history books will record the
worst terrorist attacks in the history of the United States
took place under the watch of one George W. Bush.

His presidency has been an unqualified disaster in every
way -- domestic as well as foreign policy. Yet every time
I see him giving a speech, his Xanax-intoxicated chest is
just a little more puffed out, like an overinflated balloon.
He really is completely out of touch with the American
people, and reality.

Yep. I was served peanuts on a transatlantic flight on Continental
recently.

To cause anaphylactic shock in a co-passenger with a peanut allergy.

Such a passenger would inform the airline, which would avoid the serving of
peanuts on the flight. How can the passenger avoid danger from peanut
products brought aborad by other passengers? She can't, directly; instead,
the airline bans other passengers bringing those peanut products aboard.

Two questions:
1) This "peanut allergy" thing seems to be the "disease d'jour"
these days. Anyone have a stat on the actual incidence?
2) Isn't it true that for just about any product, somebody
somewhere is allergic to it? Where does it end?

About 1 in every 200 people are allergic to peanuts to some degree. So
chances are on a full plane there will be one person.


Ny understanding is that it is rare but very severe. I hope there is
some progress to help those with this allergy because peanut products
are in so many goods. And they aren't going away unless Important People
become affected, of course.

You'd think http://www.peanutallergy.com/ would be a good resource but
the web page is teh suck.

http://www.allergyasthma.on.ca/peanut1.htm is more informative.

This picture, made from public property, earned me a visit from
corporate security officers. Apparently Vulcan's restoration is a Trade
Secret. Or they thought I was going to kidnap and molest it.

Fine. They will eventually get sued. But the point
is that this has nothing to do with the Patriot Act.
