I recently flew to Oregon. I hadn't flown anywhere since before 9/11, so I wasn't quite expecting many of the changes. The PA system announcements telling you how afraid you should be at the moment were really weird.
After several hours of listening to the Homeland Security Advisory System Level increased to orange for the 20th time, it was a bit tempting to do this.

You're welcome, It reminds me of some of the jokes my friend Terry Mouse used to make.
After seeing anti-drug commercials, that started getting really dumb, Terry took 'When you do -Blank-, The Terrorist win.'
So, brushing teeth, eating at Burger King, passing wind... like that :p

yeah, airports are more tense now, and I've noticed even in the smaller city areas I've been they won't let you go any further into the terminal than about 45 feet from the security scanner that checks what you have on your person (that is if you aren't boarding any flights). Pretty weird. Anyway, nice and funny depiction. ;)
LOL! You know a cheetah's really alarmed when his spots begin to fly away! ^^
I was beginning to think there'd be no Shade submission this week. Glad I was wrong :D
And yeah, airport security is getting rediculous. Here in Spain they won't even let you travel with the usual toiletries >_> One of the last times I flew (a 1 hour flight inside Spain), they made me leave the shaving foam, the gel, the shampoo and the depilatory cream. It was pretty embarassing ._. The only thing I was happy about is that I had decided to not take the KY tube with me :P

FA's been down most of the time so I couldn't upload anything! ;) Hehe, it's still kind of weird. I've never had anyone really seem to look forward to my art THAT much :P. *feels warm and fuzzy*
I actually had a fair amount of doodles this week, though nothing really that great. Most were of this alienish creature I made up while I was in Oregon (it's only in my DA gallery, though, since it's not really furry... more... umm... rubbery, I guess). Also have the drawing for the vacation theme, but it's taking a bit longer to colour than I expected. Hopefully I'll get that done sometime soonish :).
They were actually doing the same thing at the airport here. They'd only let you bring extremely small amounts of toothpaste, gel, etc. And you'd have to keep it in a separate bag that was checked individually or something. They didn't even let you bring water across... although I note that they happily sold extremely expensive water on the other side :P.
Thankfully, knowing about this somewhat ahead of time, I just planned to buy what I needed over in Portland. I didn't think my eraser would be a problem, though. -.-
Umm... good call not bringing the KY ;).

Orange alert is bad for cheetahs. We prefer a nice, light pastel yellow... Think you could have words with HoSec and fix that? ;)
Drawing attention to oneself around gun-toting. humourless security types is NEVER a good plan ;) You'd end up missing your flight with a strangers hand up your butt (and that is a BAD thing, people) ;)
Love the ZOMGFLEE! spots :D

I agree. Alert levels should conform with cheetah colouration! Homeland Security clearly has no taste.
They really don't have a sense of humour when it comes to security these days, though. If you even mention the word 'bomb' you'll likely get locked away in a small room with a bright interrogation light.

So true. Having flown so many times since 9/11, I guess I've gotten used to it, but it is irrational. I actually had a trip to visit my dad the month after 9/11. Then it was even worse. G.I.'s carrying loaded M4A1's walking around in full assault armor in ADDITION to everything else. As if the terrorists would barge right through the terminal gates brandishing AKs, right after we go on alert. Riiiight. People don't want to admit it, but they're smarter than that.
