    And I was just about to start a thread about blaming my spleen for my lack of common sense.

    IFJane, I loved your story about the Allen wrenches. Take apart the airplane?! Those people need to use some common sense. The last time I flew, the TSA people were taking a 1/3-full tube of Brylcream away from a little, old man who must have been nearly 90!

    Think of how dangerous he'd be with that Brylcream! He knew that a little dab would do ya!

    Technology is one of those things you either have a knack for or you don't. It's got nothing to do with breasts..

    ^_^ BF loves it when I talk tech. Even though I don't know the correct terms for what I'm doing I know what I'm doing. We got into a fight after he wouldn't give me back my mouse to fix a system error on my computer... HE WAS INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE WRONG!!! >_< lol I fixed it.

    I only like people to do techno things if I can't do them myself...

    I had TSA take away a kryptonite lock cuz they thought I would use it to hit someone over the head and hijack the plane. And those hooks on my pannier bag really concerned them too......... Made the error of using my pannier bag as my carry on since I was retrieving a folding bike at the other end. Now I pack everything in my checked luggage.

    Hellosunshine, I agree with the others, not sure the connection between tits and technology, or lack thereof, but if you could be more specific about what info. you are looking for perhaps we could help. If its regarding bike repairs, Lennard Zinn's books are quite good, as is the park tool blue book and website. But, you can't be afraid of it, just apply logic. Look at the parts, and figure out how they work and you'll know what to do.

    If you fly frequently, you'll notice that the "profile" for invasive searches and substance confiscation is primarily elderly, feeble white people. Best I can figure is they target the Fox News demographic to make them feel more terrorized.
