I am unable to understand how a hotel providing cheap toiletries is going to do much about the issue of people needing hydration or very specific personal care supplies while actually in the security line, at the gate, or on the plane. One passenger interivewed has skin cancer of the lips, and they took away his chapstick, not a prescription item yet required to soothe the lips. Are we to get a doctor's note every time we need a damn chapstick?

A real terrorist has a computer and printer and will just invent doctor, pharmacist, and prescription anyway. Probably some honest people will too, just because they can't afford to pay for an extra doctor's note to get a prescription to carry hand, face, or lip lotion.

I have spent years tracking down a product that allows me to touch paper without cracked, dry skin. I just recently ordered more of this product from out of state, since I can't buy it around here. It isn't going to be provided for me, free at charge, at some hotel, nor is it going to be in the secure zone of some airport's cheezy newsstand.
