Took my toothpaste and my deodorant! GRR! :)

Never had a problem jumpseating out of uniform until now.

I think she even wanted me to argue with her a bit, but what's the point, I had already lost.

(insert Howard Dean 'yeargh')

Oh well. Whatchyagonnado.
 
You got the quart ziploc bag? If they do, were the containers bigger than 3oz? Solids don't count either, they can be bigger than 3oz.
 
Mesa airlines is safe today from proper dentifrice! :)

And luckily I've already right guarded up, too.
 
Thats why I always where the uniform. They'll darn near bring level three security over if I have my flight case with me and I'm out of uniform.:)
 
They've been taking my more-than-3oz toothpaste lately. As a matter of fact, the last 3 flights they've taken the contraband toothpaste....and before you get started - yeah, I know all of the rules, but don't always have one of those little tubes of toothpaste around when I have to run out the door to the airport. Most of the time. it's not an issue and they let me through anyway.

Toothpaste Nazis!
 
Doug you may have an ID, but unless you have an over-the-counter costume to go with it your identity is unknown and you pose a security risk. Especially when armed with toothpaste and deodorant.
 
Clearly, Dough, you hate America.

Otherwise, you'd have no problem surrendering your contraband toothpaste to a highly trained elite terrorist stopping staffer of the TSA.

It's people like you, who insist on being able to carry their toothpaste and deodorant with them just because they've got an airline ID, that give aid and comfort to the enemy.

And if you can't see that, you must hate America.

Do I even need the sarcasm tag?
 
My brother was traveling a while ago and packed all his toiletries in his checked bag, except for a 3 oz bottle of contact lense solution that he carried in his backpack in case he wanted to take out his contacts and put on glasses while traveling.

The TSA confiscated the bottle of contact solution. You know what the problem was? He didn't put the bottle inside a plastic bag. He was like..."What? What's the difference if it's in a plastic bag or not? It's the only liquid I have. One bottle, nothing else."

"Sorry sir, it's just the rule."


I feel so much safer now.
 
So you put it in the plastic bag, go through security. . .and take it out of said plastic bag...

Sounds like they are really protecting America. . . Yipee!!!11
 
I had my water taken away on a deadhead. I was out of uniform. TSA agent said, rudely, "You outta uniform. You can' take this."
I replied, "I've got a uniform in my bag... if I change into it and take my water, we're safe?"
She says, even more rudely, "If you wan' to go change, then yes, you can you take it."
"Ah, no thanks. You can have the water. That's a real sensible rule you have there."
"Sir, it ain' my roo, it's they roo."
"You are they, and you're the one enforcing it. Have a nice day."
She then said something unintelligible as I walked away.

There are few things on this earth as worthless as the TSA.

Threat level Orange.
 
Coming home from a mx roadtrip about two weeks ago, I went through security with legal size toiletry items, but they were not in the TSA approved, official, regulation quart size ziploc. (Check that, I might have even had a bottle of lotion more than 3 oz. in my carry-on...gasp)

I was in uniform and thought, "dangit, I just know they're gonna hassle me."

Not a peep.

Just goes to show how inconsistant things really are.

I thought uniformed crewmembers were exempt from the quart plastic bag thing?

Geez, I'm not sure about that. Maybe I'll find out for for good measure.

Does that exemption apply to Flight crews AND Mx crews? Just wondering...
