I'm flying out of NRT today (going to SIN) but will return through NRT on Saturday, connecting to an AA flight to DFW.
At security today I saw posters saying NO LIQUIDS to flights heading to US and/or on US carriers. So I'm confused - are they enforcing the total liquids ban or can you carry on your baggie, on a US-bound flight from NRT?
AA web site says you can carry a baggie. JAL web site says you can carry a baggie. The poster I saw at the security screen is what confused me.
For the record, the screeners here in NRT couldn't have been nicer and more polite and orderly. The controlled the passengers thru the Xray so there wasn't a huge crush after the Xray machine, so I wasn't worried about my stuff getting stolen on the other side. I wish the TSA would take training from them.
