Yes. I can finally comment now just like Dean has.

1) The powders are only going to be tested if they appear greenish semi-organic items on the x-ray and/or they're over 12oz.

2) A few of us are not pleased with the potency of the stuff. So far, they have not given us safety goggles, which would be nice. However, they have given the MSDS sheets to see.

It's treated like HAZMAT... if the bottle is still somewhat full and it needs to thrown out... it has to go into the checkpoint HAZMAT cabinet, if it's empty goes in the gahbage.

If it spills... then we gotta dig out our spill kit which guess what... HAS SAFETY GOGGLES and RUBBER GLOVES.


And this is why I want collective bargaining so we can tell HQ... we're not touching this s**t unless we have the proper protection. Just like they told us... "Oh hey... we have N95 masks in case a pandemic happens. But guess what... you can't wear them!"
