Furious!

Well I'm sitting at my gate in IND and I'm furious! TSA just confiscated ALL of my re-disapensed toiletries. I had put every product, about 10 in all, in carefully-labelled .2 oz or smaller plastic containers and put them in my ziploc with my lip gloss, hand cream, etc. Two TSA agents looked at the bag and said it was fine. Then I was pulled out of line and an agent went through my ziploc, called over another agent who got the supervisor.

The supervisor said you are not allowed to carry unmarked or self marked toiletries, not even in checked bags. They would not give them back to me and said if I checked my bag they would escort me to the counter to make sure I didn't put anything else in my checked bag. The supervisor said you've never been able to carry unmarked bottles, not even in checked!

To be clear, for example, we are talking about containers that had two pumps of wrinkle cream, enough for two applications. I thinbg most containers were .1 oz!

Now I'm on my way to San Antonio sans shampoo, styling product, or a single skin care product.

A man had to have said the ziploc was big enough for all toiletries. A woman never would've said that. Next time, I'm printing my labels on the computer.

I've rarely been so angry!

Apologies for any typos. I wanted to get this posted asap and am on my sidekick.
