A business associate of mine just had this experience at BWI:
I forget to clear my bag of things like toothpaste, as I've had those kinds of toiletries in there for years. Well, that was a mistake. Just out of orneriness, I asked the supervisor if he could show me, in writing, where liquids are banned (yes, I knew ahead of time about the ban. I had forgotten to clear my bag). That generated two responses: * No, the list is classified * A local cop was called, who told me to keep my opinions to myself Has anyone else had TSA play the "classified' card? |

Is it true that the list is "classified" or is this just BS? Isn't the list on the TSA web site? My associate was probably irritated when he asked to see the list (I wasn't there personally) but the supervisor shouldn't have told him it's classified if it's not. He could have said "it's on our website" or something. Has anyone else had TSA play the "classified' card? Your associate should file a complaint with both the FSD at BWI and the airport police. The prohibited list is NOT classified. In fact, anything that a screener would see is NOT classified. Might be "sensitive', but it's definitely not classified. |
Is there a webpage that lays out all of this info in one clear format and is updated. A thread is great, but I don't really want to read through 150 posts to get an answer.

This webpage, directly from the TSA, is the best I’ve seen yet. |

No (Carry-on) Yes (Checked) 1. Shouldn't this say saline and not eye drops? 2. Shouldn't it say "yes" under carry-on? Is this just an update on the TSA website that wasn't completed correctly? |
Traveling with cabin pets
Bart, what about those of us traveling with pets in cabin? We have some of the same issues as those traveling with babies but there is nothing on the TSA web site about traveling with pets.
I typically have these items in my dog carrier -- small (.5 oz) spray bottle with water, Rescue Remedy (.5 oz), ice blanket, first aid cream. My dogs also have prescription medications (including liquid medications) which we obviously need to carry with us onboard.

Due to cancer, I had my entire colon removed. The colon retains water in the body. Now I constantly have diarrhea. Thus, I get dehydrated very, very easily, and the small amount of liquid the FAs serve is not nearly enough. What am I supposed to do to with this ban on liquids?

Rescue Remedy Rx?

Is there a way to get that in a Rx? Sylvia |

I'm a longtime lurker but fear for my toothpaste's safety has brought me out of hiding. Normally I would throw the toothpaste in question in the checked luggage, but in this case, I'm flying out to take a cruise and worst case scenario, if my bag with the toiletries doesn't make it, I'll be without prescription flouride for over a week so I think I'm going to risk it- I can get everything else I need on the ship or in port, if it comes down to it. But this stuff is not easy to replace and isn't covered by insurance, so I'd rather not have to try to track some down at the last minute and pay whatever the local pharmacy wants to charge me for it when I can get it online for $10 ahead of time. Then again, if they take it away...same problem. *shrugs* Can't win, can I? Anyone successfully get prescription flouride past EWR? |
Can't speak to EWR, but through SFO, ORD, and SNA in the last few days and had toothpaste and shampoo in my carry-on. Sailed through. Never saw a secondary screening. If it is small and hidden away you should be fine. I think many TSA people are starting to realize how stupid these regs make them look.

sad to say it Jennifer,

the simple solution....bring EMPTY bottles
and use any water fountains inside the sterile area to fill them. It will keep you in H20 at LEAST until the flight leaves.
