Dignity - not

In the course of the evening we talked about death. I know, not a very sexy subject, but since our uncle is getting buried next week, it was inevitable.

And skyping with the other cousin we learned of a story.

His mother-in-law had died, and they were bringing the ashes back to Ireland, where her roots were. Only the airport security stopped them, since the urn was made out of a material that wasn't allowed.

My cousin ended up in the airport toilet pouring the ashes of his mother-in-law from the urn to a paper bag.

Is it only me who thinks the US has gotten a tad too far after 9/11?
