Packing for Defcon:Not wanting the TSA to give me a colonoscopy.

Shrunken heads

Dead mouse in a Ziplock(R) bag

Pacifier

Bottled water

Large Jar of petroleum jelly

(p.s. To the guys from Exotic Liability: Yes, I know you can get this stuff
in Vegas.  But, I prefer to bring my own.  There are a lot of creepy people
out there.)
