Another TSA rant.

GUYSH! GUYSH! GUYSH!
Ok, so I can't bring my hair gel, tooth paste, or shampoo, but I can take my razor? How does this work?

I'm sure you're aware of this but some people who haven't flown in a few years may not know that yes, you may being your hair gel, tooth paste, and shampoo as long as each does not exceed 3 oz. I really hope they drop that silly rule.
 
Absolutely! Anyone who puts ANYTHING in their hair is gay!!! Leave your hair looking like crap in order to let everyone know you're a straight man.

:sarcasm: :D
I like to use motor oil. Man friendly, gives your hair a nice sheen, and the extra lubrication helps you run faster.

I just dip my hands in Jet-A and run em through my hair. It gives me that oily shine I like and the scent that the ladies kill for!
 
I went through Charleston a week or so ago. I was told to toss my tube of toothpaste. Seriously makes me think, how can I turn a tube a toothpaste into an explosive...IMO its all a gimmick. Anyone who works on or around the airlines knows what kind of a joke TSA is, and if they were truly interested in security. I work the ramp. There are folks who have only been in this counrty for a few weeks and they were hired by TSA and Customs out here...A guy I work with, good guy, barely knows any english, straight off the boat. Dont get me wrong, not bashing the immigrants. Its just another way for the government to hire a bunch of folks under some pretense of security.
 
The TSA is just a performance put on by your tax dollars so that the uninformed can 'feel' safe, and so that the government can say they're doing something. It's reactionary politics at its finest.
 
What about liquid items that are sealed? I have an unopened, sealed 6 oz bottle of Japanese BBQ sauce. Are they going to give me crap or is this potentially deadly bottle of tasty sauce going to pass through the checkpoint?

On 10 August 2006, authorities in the United Kingdom uncovered an alleged plot to sabotage as many as 10 U.S. airliners traveling from the United Kingdom to the United States, reportedly by using liquid and gel based explosives. Since then, U.S. authorities have restricted what liquids and gels a passenger may have in the passenger cabin

Certain chemical liquids and/or gels that are harmless by themselves can be turned into explosives when combined. The thought is that someone could bring in chemical A inside, say, a toothpaste tube, combine it with chemical B brought in disguised as a bottle of shampoo, and make an explosive and bring an aircraft down. The regulation aims to keep the total quantity of material available to an individual, or small group of people, small enough to adequately reduce the effectiveness of such an explosive made on an aircraft.

Put it in your checked luggage. Can't carry it on.
 
You can take anything you want as long as it fits into 3oz bottles and those bottles fit into a 1 qt zip-top bag.

So, take your 30oz of explosives, divide it into 10-3oz bottles, shove them into the zip-top bag, take off your shoes and walk through security. Then you can buy two bottles of water on the other side, dump them down the drain and mix up your explosives.

Security win!

The other option is to visit www.sportys.com and buy a pilot uniform. Then you can take whatever you want...
