Shhhhhh - let's not try to get them to attempt logic now.
Remember, you are talking about the geniuses that print SSSS on your boarding pass foe additional screening... :rolleyes:

Funny you should say that because that was my dilemna. Here in Canada many of the travel size prodeucts are 100ml. Yet, that is, as indicated on 1 of my label's 3.3 oz. Are they going to accept these items, or am I asking too early?

please change you gloves
 

can you imagine....

if asked, the screener must change their gloves before inspecting your belongings. hee hee-i'm gonna have so much fun.......ok, off to the penalty box

I think its general knowledge that Terrorists(TM) use metric.

Shhhhh .... I'm sure no terrorists have figured this out, and I sure wouldn't want to give them any ideas, but ...

... isn't it possible that a group of people could each bring small amounts of liquids, and then, you know, like mix them together and still end up with enough?

Gosh. What does this mean. I can think of only two things:

1. The people who devise these rules are even more stupid than they seem and didn't think of this. Nah, they are not that stupid.

or

2. There really is no danger presented by having liquids on planes.

In either case the new restrictions now in place make no sense!

Comrade Hawley maintains his delusion that the x-ray detects explosives and explosives components. So, in Comrade Hawley's Fantasy Insecurity Land, your scenario is implausible.

However, in reality, whatever components were supposedly of interest 6 weeks ago will still cruise right on by the x-ray in a 3 oz bottle marked "Prell".

Nicely done, Comrade Hawley.

Ding ding ding - and we have a winner!

I thought things were improving until I read this:
Are you kidding me?? That is going to cause some major headaches. :td: :mad:

Recording any "exception" items on the back of the boarding passes is WRONG. Many airlines keep the boarding pass (or at least a large part of it), and so now the federal government will be forcing people to essentially disclose to the airlines (and anyone else who gets a hold of the trashed boarding passes) any medical conditions or personal items that they brought with them. Items that are allowed as exceptions are of no threat and hence should not have to be disclosed to the airlines.

Print an extra boarding pass off the internet and use that to board. Typical idiotic TSA policies.

I agree - that's the work around for most situations. But what about people who are SSSS'd? I say again, this is a BAD policy that could have serious privacy implications (both practical and legal) for those with medical conditions or valid reasons for bringing "excluded" items.

The sample videos don't show the TSO writing on the boarding pass, but using some pad of sticky paper to presumably "authorize" the items to go through the x-ray. That is better than writing on boarding passes - but still seems unnecessary. People should be able to keep the items in their bags, and then if they get detected on the magical x-ray machine the citizen or guest of the US should be able to explain the item privately with a TSO.

TSA movie links broken
 

In yet another affront to the female traveler, the TSA web site movie link that shows the "Female Business Traveler" what to do with her zip lock bag takes her to the "Male Business Traveler" movie.

It is also interesting that the Male Business Traveler is shown putting his laptop through, while the Female Business Traveler only puts in her zip lock. Guess the TSA thinks that Female Business Travelers don't carry laptops, only steno pads. :rolleyes:

For those who would like to see the female business traveler movie it is here

The Male Business Traveler movie, which works, is here.

(First rule of Web Design, always check all links...) ;)

Meaning that this inane procedure will last until the first HIPAA lawsuit.

Congratulations, TSA! You are now directly at odds with the Department of Health and Human Services! I'll get the popcorn.

Big Deal! Filing a claim with H&HS re: HIPAA is almost as useless as sending feedback to TSA or trying to call to ask questions. Both are a total waste of effort, time and money.

Yeah, but he had to take off his shoes & she didn't... I guess discrimination comes in many forms. ;)
