Here's the bad idea of the day, from AP/Yahoo.com: "A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing a liter (two pints) of vodka at an airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new carry-on rules, police said Wednesday. The incident occurred at the Nuremberg [Germany] airport on Tuesday, where the 64-year-old man was switching planes on his way home to Dresden from a holiday in Egypt." The report says he's at a clinic. Here's hoping he'll recover.

I'm sure many have experienced the frustration of buying duty free on way back home, only to find out that for connecting flights you have to put bottle in checked bags. I never understood why that is the case...you don't leave any security areas when connecting from international flights to domestic connections.
