LA to Chicago
21st Jan.
I have to say: I did not want to write anything on my way back, but how could I not after what I saw at the LA airport today?
By the way the sunshine never came out in LA: it kept raining cats and dogs 90% of the time I was there!
Anyway...what I went to do in LA went well...or at least that is what I think and hope.
By the way to all my friends that think it is so much fun to travel all the time like I do...believe me, when you travel for work (and you do not get to be in first class) it is not so much fun...time is short (in fact I was in the plane yesterday for almost 5 hrs and I'm back in the plane again today) and if you go to a place where you don't know anyone, it's not so easy to enjoy! I did enjoy the cute hotel though and my shopping time in Santa Monica!
So, all smooth at the airport, excluding a strange thing that happened and I would love someone to please explain to me what was going on, if they know the answer: why there was a security lady in front of the escalator, checking tickets and … girls asses? Seriously, right after the 2 girls in front of me gave her their documents to inspect, she let them go and quickly inspected their asses too. So she did with my ass as well...she gave a quick look at my back and kept going with the documents check of the other people on the line...and once I was up to the escalator I noticed she was not checking men asses...!!
I really didn't get that...plus I had a long coat so don't know what she was expecting to see.
Well, I kept following the line to the security check...this time I took my liquids out...don't want anything to beeeepppp on me! All good in fact.
So, let me tell you my friends what I saw on my way into the aircraft.
There was a sign saying this:- It has been reported by the Health Government Department of California that this area might cause you cancer, cause deformation to your baby (if you are carrying one I suppose) and give you impotence- No other explanation!
Then there was another sign below it, saying that there can be saturated gas in that area that is dangerous for your health.
So...let me understand this well: the radiations of the Security screen machines already can cause you cancer as it has been reported by the New York Times...if you escape cancer from those radiations, don't worry there is another chance you will get cancer by standing in the small corridor right outside the airplane...and if you are so lucky that you escape cancer twice, you'll have a deformed baby and/or a husband who will not be able to give you any/any more children!
I know this might sounds funny, when said in such an ironic way...but it is not so funny after all, considering how often we all fly and how many chances we need to escape to stay safe!
When are they going to come out with wiser ways for people to travel safe and a bit more comfortable?
Another thing that makes me furious is that in the last couple of years airplane Companies are saving even on the light during the entire flight (among many other things): so forget about reading with the little light above your head...I have been doing it and my eyes are now as red as tomatoes!
All right... I'm closing my laptop for now until my next flight! There are so many turbulences that I better make some prayers, even if I don't usually do those things, but a little help won't hurt, plus I'm in the sky and should be heard better from up here!
I just wish the 3 morons behind me could stop speaking so loud about nothing! They haven't stopped for the past 2 hrs and we still have 1hr and half before we finally arrive in Chicago!
