I haven't even put my liquids in a baggie of late, no one said a word.

What makes you believe TK holds it in all day? I have a sneaking suspicion such a thing does not happen....

Have you ever smelled fox urine? Hunters use it to make themselves less noticeable to deer in the woods, and it really stinks. Put a few drops on an old shirt and put the shirt in a heavy zip bag with something you know will look suspicious, then stand back and look innocent while the screener opens the bag. :p

I heard it from a pharmacist when I was working as a medical courier, and I have also heard it from a cop. I tried to look up the statute but I can not find one. Urban legend?

I have Crohn's disease, holding it in is not an option. :mad:

Most likely sometime in March. (Maybe sooner but doubtful)

Before I go I have to buy those socks that look like shoes, make a couple of shirts, print off the SOP, make some "encounter cards" and other fun stuffs.

BTW guys I have been reading the thread but I have not been able to join in much due to work. Keep the ideas coming, a lot of them are comedy gold.

They already had a couple of screeners pass out from honey fumes, I am afraid fox urine would put them in a coma.

I don’t have any prescription medications, but I do have a plastic bottle filled with various vitamins, melatonin and aspirin. It’s been in my bag for so long now the label has worn off. The contents have never been questioned at the checkpoint, but if it became an issue while flying domestically a major case of :rolleyes: would be in order.

could be - neither of those are reliable sources for legal advice

I was interested to see if anyone could find the legal citation because I've looked for it previously as well without success.

The only angle that may make it true is if there is some law like the proof of insurance law.
