I just went thru security for an ultimately delayed flight to DFW (3760 if you were wondering). I haven't traveled since last month (went to RIO) and haven't opened my computer bag since then. For that trip I took a travel toothbrush and the small travel paste. These both made it thru several security check points last month. So it was with surprise that my bag today was pulled out because of containing some lotion. Turns out they caught my 1 oz of toothpaste that I forgot I had. When the guard pulled it out I explained truthfully that I forgot it was in there. He asked if I had a ziploc and I just told him to keep it. He wouldn't give it back unless I had a ziploc and he explained that we all get one and this was how they control things. I said keep it again but the nice lady beside me gave me a baggy into which I popped in my toothpaste and asked if it needed to be rescreened. They didn't say yes so I thanked the lady for her baggy, took my toothpaste out, gave her back the baggy and put the item back in my bag and walked away. Easy peasy. I admit I might have been slightly in the wrong but if my stuff didn't need to be rescreened, how much of a threat was it in the first place? Sorry this was so long, it just struck me as funny...and since my HOU-DFW is late anyway I had time to kill. Anyone else have similar experiences with potential contraband?
