What a friggin joke...approached C-3 TSAers with my quart baggie of 4 oz contact lense solutions...I wear gas permeables, so I need "cleanser" and "soaking/wetting" solutions (I guess the lack of the word "saline" threw the system into a tizzy). I had to explain the difference between hard and soft contact lenses to the TSA drone & her supervisor who had a MAJOR power trip going...I thought with my TSA printout from the night before showing the products were allowed would suffice. WRONG, Mr. TSA super said I had the throw it away or check it option. No way I'm throwing away $30 of solutions (espec when I'M correct).

Back through security and CO really shined on this one. Agent found me a nice strong box, wrapped it up, checked it and personally brought me through the crew lane. She even thought contact solution was 4 oz, and when asked for future reference was told NOTHING liquid over 3 oz by the all knowing and powerful TSA NOT FUN!
