Why shouldn’t [the maggots](http://www.lowimpact.nu/maggots.html) fly? You expect them to take the train? ---

I, too, bow to **lieu** ’s strong pun-fu. I love that can’t bring 4 oz of shampoo on a plane, but you can bring a bag of rotting and writhing and leaking meat past security. \ Maybe the TSA thought the maggots were colleagues? Like the old joke about the reason sharks never eat lawyers–“professional courtesy”? \
