I've checked the airline website (in this case, AA) and it says that safety razors are okay in carry-on bags. It also states that aerosol sprays for personal use are okay as long as no one item is more than 16 ounces. However, the FAA website states that no aerosols are allowed, including hairspray, but does say that perfumes less than 16 ounces are okay. In fact, hairspray is not allowed in checked luggage, which I can understand. Does this apply to even small travel sizes of hairspray.? Today I was told by a telephone customer service rep that safety razors are being confiscated, as well as some keys.

So what have been your experiences? Have any of you ladies out there had your spray perfumes or travel-size hairsprays taken by security personnel? What else has been confiscated that's on the "Okay" list?

The inconsistency in all of this is making me crazy. Does anyone know how to contact the FAA to ask questions such as mine?
