Soap Opera in Real Life

And the story of sad sack Andrew Speaker continues to unfold. The poor mope has known about his tuberculosis since the first of the year, but he’s engaged to be married, and heads off to Greece 1 on his honeymoon or whatever.

On the way, we’ve seen DHS/TSA/Customs doing what they do best: pissing away taxpayer dollars, claiming that their screening process keeps us safe, when they can’t even stop one mope, with a presumably valid passport, who is flagged as not suitable to travel. Damn, I wonder.

And then, his daddy-in-law turns out to be a CDC microbiologist specializing in of all things TB.

Tearful apologies from Andy, and Diane Sawyer there to document the whole cluster eff for us.

In the unlikely event I ever fly again, what are the gel and liquid rules for carry-ons?

Man, this is gonna be a “news” story for a while. 2

  1. The rule I think is no more than 3 ounces of any one gel or liquid.

    As for the question about his missus, I can imagine that he would defy any number of rules to Greece that.
