2 weird stories on KGO's ABC News

[Montauk6]

1. A Mr. Afghanistan bodybuilding contest going on in Kabul.

2. Razor blade ban may be lifted on airlines to cut down on the hassle to travellers.

1 is just too surreal but 2 cheeses me off. So, after all that, it turns out that all that nonsense at airports was a just a big inconvenience??? Or, if not, WTF are they removing the ban for??? If there's INDEED a bona fide terror threat out there, isn't the inconvenience necessary?

1. I hear they are removing the razor blade ban because

you can no longer get into the cockpit because of the locking doors.

2. Look. We all gotta shave

...at least, as a woman in polite society, I better...
Just leave the damn nail clippers and knitting needles at home, and we can all enjoy the flight!
<<growing my nails extra-fabulously long in a trashy sort of way so I can rake the face of a terrorist and have his/her DNA under my fingernails for forensic detailing should I not survive the flight>>

3. Um . . .

What kind of razor blades? The triple-edged Mach III or the old style ones that can slice through a carotid artery in a second, flat?
