One good idea would be to change the location of these procedural reviews so that the participants have to fly out of airports to get to this meeting and get a feel for the impact of their decisions. The officers I work with are professional and committed to their duties, but their common gripe is to have the head honchos spend a day, in TSA uniform, on the floor to see what it's like. We do have some who come to the floor, but they stand in the back for a few moments and then wander off. They need to experience a couple of 30-minute rotations in our shoes. Of course, this will never happen, but if it did, then perhaps they would learn to at least survey the field first before coming up with bright ideas in changing our procedures. |

I had very good luck flying with (a five-pound bag of) oranges last weekend and have been assuming that will be my means of emergency/backup hydration. No screener made any comments about them--allowed or not--so it's possible they were just unseen. I'd be more than a bit annoyed if some TSAer tried to confiscate them, but I'd at least like to know the rules. |
more never-ending questions for Bart
My first post, as I too am getting unhinged by all this security stuff. Two questions for the long-suffering Bart:
If we have to take off our shoes, can we put on those disposable shoe-covers that medical personnel wear? Or will we be asked to take those off, too? I read that aerosols are now prohibited. Does that include spray Evian? It's basically Evian water in a small spray can, which is great for long, dry flights. |

As for the Evian water in a spray can...sounds like a liquid to me, and the answer is still, NO. ;) Welcome to FT, by the way! |

Someone needs to educate the IAH supervisors. The screeners are in error.

I have a 13 hour trip to Tokyo on Monday and normally use non-prescription nasal spray on long flights. My understanding is that nasal spray should now be allowed under the revised rules concerning non-prescription medicine and liquids. Is this revision pretty clear or subject to local variation? :confused:

just a thought but how 'bout making this thread a sticky (or at least until things settle down a bit) :)
