Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but I can't find it. Can we carry on an ipod?

and when I was reading the TSA list of no-no items - it said no lotions, etc... but it said yes for "personal lubricants". If it's not too gross an answer....can someone tell me what they are please?

exactly what it implies. lubricants to lubricate your personal areas, though why you'd need them ON the plane is beyond me.

When cooking up a beefy steak on the stove top one often uses oil in the pan before placing the meat into the hot pan.

With some cuts of beef, or some frying pans it's not required, but with others it is. One must always warm up the pan though.

Well, robbie - I thought I could count on you - but for the ipod question....not the other ...

Sorry cabo - too busy checking the oil under the hood.

Yes, ipods are ok.
