I travel next month internationally, and maybe you saw my little tirade in this thread about not being able to bring any moisturizers for my 19 hour time of travel. I realize that many people will think my concerns are insanely trivial, but to me travelling uncomfortably for a leisure trip that is going to set me back quite a bundle of $$ is a serious concern...

I've been hoping that the prohibited items woulds be lessened as time goes by, but your posts give another impression. I am very hopeful though to see what you wrote above..

So my question to you, in your opinion do you think that eventually I would be permitted to bring on board the tiny sample sizes of moisturizer?

If you don't know what I'm referring to... I'll describe the one I have in front of me now. It's from L'Occitane, it's a sealed 2 inch by 2 inch flat packet containing exactly 0.03 oz (1 ml net wt) of eye cream. One single application of a product in a professionally sealed package.

So do you think that there will come a time that I might be permitted to bring this with me? Can you give me any hope?
I defer to Bart to answer the question posed, but I, however, would recommend Artful Concealment(TM) in the meantime for your on-board moisturizer needs.
