funny you say that...i was flying shortly after lockerbie, and going through the x-ray and security check, there was an arab guy right after me in the queue. he had 5, repeat 5 cans of shaving cream in his washbag, spilled open upon request of the security officer.  i remember thinking: ''why would someone travel with 5 cans of shaving cream?'

the security guy never gave him a second look, just waved him on, and i remember wanting to shake the security guy by the shoulders and say 'are you crazy?'

then walking on the flight, telling myself that my imagination was far too active...

jumpy times, jumpy places...
