Motherfucking Liquids on a Motherfucking Plane

Leon's flying to Nashville tomorrow, and I emailed him yesterday to tell him that he might want to get to the airport earlier than planned, in light of this red alert business

Pack the clothes and stuff in ziploc bags. Seriously. Squish the air out of 'em and zip 'em up. It'll both save space and protect them from oil-related security incidents.

I think that's a really good idea. Someone else said to put the jars in plastic bags. We should probably do all of the above, especially if Leon is taking any of the fabulous clothes that I have picked out for him. It would be tragic to lose those!

Yeah, I believe those space saver bags are supposed to be guaranteed to lock out moisture and such. The cost would definitely be worth it! It would totally suck if he got to Nashville with nothing but the clothes on his back.

Well, I don't think he took the advice to use plastic bags but he made it there without his baggage being tampered with. One of the syrup bottles leaked, but this seems to be due to bad canning and not because anything broke.

I put the box containing all the liquids in a plastic bag, so leaks wouldn't be as bad. Only the one jar leaked. I don't think it was a bad canning job, since it was sealed at the pressure at sea level, but it leaked at the lower pressure/higher temperature on the plane.
