RickinAtlanta said: Got to the ferry terminal in CA yesterday, checked our 3 bags for $3 each and proceeded down to the waiting area and stopped at "security". Security guard saw I was rolling the small carryon bag and I mean small. Told me that if it's "carryon" then I have to carry it! CAN'T roll it. Absolutely amazing. Aren't people amazing?? I called Time Warner Monday night and said that because their techs didn't bury the cable during a recent service call, the guys that were mowing my lawn ran over the line and cut about 3 foot of cable out and I have no internet....the Time Warner response "Has this had a negative impact on your service?" <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Can't roll a small carry-on....OMG....crazy!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

It is universal. TSA will go to the effort to unroll an almost empty tube of toothpaste to show you it was once more than 3oz. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

I had a tiny pair of scissors taken away and I mentioned that in 2 minutes I would be in the cockpit with a big crash ax at my disposal. He still took my scissors.

Anything said except "yes sir" would have meant we would not have been on that ferry.

Rick--I have to say that your experience should be reported to the BVI Tourist Board--not that they necessarily would give a ratsa$$, I suppose.
