Total Protection...Except for Bras...

Don't try to bring a tiny tube of lip-moisturizing gel on board an airliner these days, or wear thin gel inserts to make your shoes more comfortable. And leave your cold and cough gel-caps at home.

But, ladies and cross-dressing gents, no one will check if you wear your gel-filled bras right onto the plane.

Despite the fact that these hugely popular undergarments are owned by millions worldwide, and have the capacity to carry enough liquid or gel explosives to make a terrorist smile, the Transportation Security Administration has not included them on the new list of items forbidden from carry-on baggage.

But asked about the tens of millions of women who wear silicone-gel and even plain water sacks in their bras to enhance their curves, Kayser [TSA spokesman] said he was not aware of the wide popularity of that fashion trend.

These are the people "protecting" us..
