Miss I need to scan your chocolate
On a recent trip back to Edinburgh, my bag was selected for inspection. As someone who has been 'randomly selected' many times, I figured it was just another case of 'you have a funny sounding and spelled last name." This is usually why I get stopped, however, this time, I was stopped for a different reason. As a fan of candy and chocolate, I was bringing some white and dark chocolate back with me. When the security officer opened my bag and found a few bars of chocolate, unopened, he told me that he would have to scan the chocolate and take it through the x-ray machine.
Here is a picture of the chocolate I was bringing with me:
Now, do these look dangerous to you?
As expected, nothing came out of the x-ray that would be a cause for concern and the guy almost tried to keep the chocolates. I guess you really have to be careful what you bring with you these days!

Exercise at the airport?
As a big gym fan, I was thrilled to read this article in the FT. Now gym fans have another option of where to exercise... the airport!
I can't wait to try out an airport gym!

A 'sidways' super-sonic plane?!
Wouldn't it be nice to bring back the Concorde? Those short cross-Atlantic flights. Back in the day there was talk of bringing the plane back, sadly it looks like this poor plane is going into retirement.
However, according to the Huffington Post, a new plane could be on its way.
"Nasa has awarded $100,000 in funding for a team designing a new 'sideways' super-sonic plane. The aircraft, which looks like a four-point ninja star, was developed at the University of Miami. The new plane could fly much faster than traditional commercial jets, with a greatly reduced 'sonic boom' when it reaches super-sonic speeds."
Anyone willing to fly on this?
