    The other thermos trick was suggested. The Elder, said he could fit more inside. There were many parts machined from varieties of unobtanium. Eventually, making their way into a variety of Triumph Spitfires, Datsuns, one Camaro (I plead the 5th), & one open wheel car.

    Cups are allowed, but they must be completely clear - no labels anywhere and it must be spill proof. Not allowed chapstick or any personal belongings (cellphones included), except for the old iPod Nano (the small one inch square version with only the headphone jack) and headphones.
    You must be a government contractor. I have a couple friends/co-workers that have worked at places like that around here. Thank you none for me, but then I wouldn't fit the normal profile of someone that works at one.

    Nope, not a government contractor.

    With the changes to the security, it's no longer a viable option - I need to carry around certain items all the time, but without a sporran, I end up having to hold on to them... and invariably set them down somewhere and forget about.

    So, back to pants... Not allowed to wear plaid pants (tartan trews), as there's a specific clause in the dress code about plaids and pants. I think it was described that it looks too much like pajamas.

    Can’t imagine where you work then. I couldn’t work there. Too authoritarian. Zie mir gezunt.
