I was yelled at because I did not have the "right" bag. I was told to either put them in the correct bag or surrender them. I decided to put them in my wife's bag instead as she had enough room for them.
That makes no bloody sense at all. Wasn't the (supposed) stated purpose of choosing the quart-sized bag to limit the amount of liquid/gel a pax could take on board? Wouldn't choosing a SMALLER bag be BETTER, because the PAX is intentionally limiting themselves FURTHER?
Also, FYI, the Blistex doesn't have to go in the kippie bag. There's an exception for lip balm.
