Things traveling public does that is simply dumb

Headed home tomorrow morning LHR->ORD->MCI. Checked in online and nabbed exit row seats all the way . Heard great things about Torta Frontera in ORD so i'm gonna check that out. Torta Cubana + Goose Island 312 seems like a fantastic way to recover from a 9 hour flight.

Those freaking Torta's blow away any airport food by far. Worth the trip even if you don't need to go to that terminal.

There's one in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 now.

what machines detect what, in terms of airport security?  if you check a bag, how do they scan it?

[AST]

Using seat back pouches in airplanes.  Dirty!  People discard all sorts of crap in there.  Kleenexes, dirty diapers, apple cores.  Imagine putting your phone in there and then later retrieving it and putting it to your face.

x-ray, chemical detectors, plus rifling through your crap if they feel like it

Don't snakes swallow their food whole?  Could be a revolution in trafficking, just mold the product in two rat shaped blocks.

In Mexico and Colombia, they stuff it inside chickens. Ecuador likes to use bananas.

What is the scoop on neck pillows

I must know asap!

unacceptable for anything other than international flights.

Does it help get rid of that sore neck?  Or should I just buy a lot of xanax?  Or both?

I'll field this one...

Xanex is a must.  A MUST. 

The reality of the neck pillow is that is ends up forcing your head forward a bit...kinda uncomfortable.  I put it on my neck sideways and just lean that direction.  Xanax takes care of the rest.  Also, a Woodford or three on top of the Xanax is also effective.  Travel safe.

Did try out a neck pillow.  It seemed to work ok, however as its narrower than a normal pillow, there is more pressure where your head rests.  I envision the optimal neck pillow to have something protruding curved pad so the area your head rests is larger.

I ended up leaving it on when I went pee, and it fell onto the floor.  Will give neck pillows another shot.  Did not find any xanax.  Will accept PMs from dealers.

Ask the gate/desk people a million questions.  Just wander around asking anyone who will listen random questions and talking to themselves.

had two ladies on my flight at 8 yesterday morning talk the entire time. they showed up at 6:30 for the flight and clucked away. the lights were completely out on the plane and everyone was sleeping except these two and me (sitting a row behind them). they weren't just whispering either, I could have heard them 20 rows back talking about office gossip...

Also, what % of stories people on plane tell about themselves or kids are complete bullshit?  Lady in front of me told her seat mates she went to Yale law school, in Hartford CT

Never been to CT but isn't everything like a 10 minute drive from each other?

Like an hour drive in traffic

A Yale grad would die before saying they lived in Hartford.
