How to f*** up a lot of people's weekend

Call me selfish, but I don't think it is the case. It has become one big hysteria and sometimes I wonder who is doing better in this so called war against t*****. My weekend in London didn't happen, for obvious reasons. And, one of my friends had postponed her business trip across the Atlantic ocean just to be able to see me on Saturday. She told me not to feel bad about it, as she probably would have not been able to travel on the Friday anyway. And it is not only my case, actually mine is pretty light regarding the circumstances. I stayed at home, with my kid and no stress at all. What about all of those stuck in a airport, with kids? And what the heck is this non-sense that we cannot take anything on-board? How about women with small children, are they supposed to make a long trip having no extra diaper to change their babies? Will the airlines provide that to moms? Can somebody explain me that? Either the world is going crazy or I am for not making any sense of much anymore...
