I just had my Clear Care taken by TSA at DEN last night (December 9). It was a travel-size bottle in the proper plastic bag. It passed with no problem the day before at BWI, and I had taken it many times before.

This is not the first time it's been pulled aside for testing, but it is the first time that I was told that I could not take it.

I don't know this for sure, but I think I made it through BWI with no problem because the bottle was factory sealed and the bag was new. Going home, the bottle may have leaked a little in the bag and/or the outside of the bag had some residue. I am thinking that a slight leak might have set off a sniffer in the x-ray machine that made the TSA look closer at my stuff and flag the Clear Care.

I am going to search for more info in Clear Care and TSA, and will post if I find anything.
