I'm not talking about those measure!  I'm talking about the no liquids

*that's* what makes this rule stupid.

Lawyers for actor Robert Downey, Junior, have reportedly reached
a plea bargain. Downey faces a felony count of cocaine possession.
But under the deal, he will be able to stay out of prison as long
as he promises to remain rich and white.
