Seriously, I haven't flown in a few years (can't afford it and don't enjoy it any more), but the last time I did I was really snarky. I find that as an older woman now I can get away with it more than when I was younger. I'm also passive/aggressive sometimes but pretend I'm just having a senior moment. Oh, my, I had no idea I couldn't bring my drink on the plane (yes, I did). Oh, dear, I just paid $4 for this and I'm not going to throw it out. I live on a fixed income and $4 is a lot for me. Well, you get my drift.

It's like the old spoof from "Airplane" where the guards are frisking the old ladies and meanwhile the terrorists are walking right through the gate.
