That's right, even holy water from the Vatican is banned, because of teh terrorists!!!

"
The passengers on board the Vatican's first flight to Lourdes may have been pilgrims in search of spiritual healing, but they still had to obey anti-terrorism rules, it has emerged, after several of them had their holy water confiscated.
[p class="story2"]The Vatican's new service, a Boeing 737 painted in yellow-and-white papal livery, took off from Rome's Fiumicino airport on Monday, serving swordfish canapes to 148 pilgrims reclining on headrests stamped with the message: "I search for your face, oh Lord". [/p][p class="story2"]While the outward journey was smooth, turbulence struck on the return when anti-terror rules were strictly applied by the French police. [/p][p class="story2"]No bottles containing more than 100ml of liquid were allowed on board unless checked in, meaning passengers were forced give up the holy water they had just collected at Lourdes."[/p][p class="story2"][a  href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/08/29/wvatican129.xml"]Full story link...[/a][/p](Lol, CAPTCHA says "disarm" :)
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Funny stuff.

But SERIOUSLY, why would any kind of water be exempt from regulations?

It's all a ploy so that you will be forced to buy your drinks on the plane - and thereby inflate the profits of the airlines.

Gopher, would you like to spell check that last post?  I don't think that's quite what you meant to say.  Freudian slip?

Of course, if they found a way to manufacture them they would surely sell them at the airpost.

Sure would - but as it is the hostesses have to tout them to the passengers.

Perhaps they could have a small fitting room on the plane.

I always thought they had two.

You're right.  I haven't flown in so long I had forgotten.

Yes, they've got all sorts of new-fangled conveniences these days.

So they've progressed beyond the DC3, have they?

That IS funny. LOL. I guess the demons on the plane will have something to celebrate about. No holy water indeed. Next time you know they'll outlaw the toilet water.
