Direct flights to US only, screening in some of these places are to ineffectual, and the idea is additional screening at say Germany would catch any thing.

Hopefully Turkey is not included in that. Highest security at any airport that I know, so seems unlikely.

It's false. It's the MOST secure airports, and not the middle east. They are doing it to the most secure airport in Europe. They are using terms like "Middle East" and "insecure" as cover. It's something else.

There is no airport in the US that compares to the security of some of the airports that they are blocking computers to come from. If security was the true concern, every American flight would have this limitation now as well.

Obviously some American airline interests wanted more competitive airlines to lose customers but since they couldn't compete using capitalism turned to bribing someone.

Movie "Raw" will include barf bags in theaters
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/la-theater-provides-barf-bags-cannibal-movie-raw-987788
Seeing that the movie grossed a whole $78,000 I would say either
A. The movie sucks so bad you NEED it. Or (more probable)
B. It's a stunt to get more $$$$ -
-
That's not enough money to pay for many bags.

Good band. Played the hell out of those first 2 records. Singing their songs in Rock Band was tough!

That's the most rock-n-roll way to go out, playing onstage until your very last breath.
