The new joy of travel?
This article from MSNBC has a sad quote [0]:
It wasn’t clear how long they would remain in effect, though Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., said the situation “eliminates the days of carry-on baggage.”
No carry-on? Well, let's just kill international business travel. I'm sorry, but are we going a bit overboard here? I mean seriously, are we going to have to stop wearing clothes? As a person who travels for business and works on almost every flight, no carry-on for me means no flying for me.
I'd like to know if Rep. Hoekstra flies commerical? Does he really want to sit twiddling his thumbs while flying? Or does he not have to worry about it because he has a private jet?
End of line.
