Under training tips I think, the "attack of the uber-Momies".

Interesting read about women who come back even stronger than before after pregancy.

Back to topic at hand

your point.... and my point.. the rules are there... no point in arguing at the airport to try to get your way... you know the rules... either cancel your flight or go with the flow... figure out alternatives....

good grief ... I doubt anyone here ... would be dumb enough ... to arguewith security about this sort of thing ... we are just voicing our concerns ... and opinions ...

Sometimes security people do such incredibly stupid stuff or say such incredibly stupid things that you can't help but (want to) argue with them.
Okay, enough ranting....time to go to the airport!

DUCK ON WHEELS! Great to see you back here! Glad your flight was relatively uneventful. Did your bike arrive OK? L.

I'm ba-ack! Aren't yawl thrilled?

Okey-doke. I only flew Sacramento to Phoenix and back so I can only report on these two airports. Security lines weren't bad. 40 mins in Sac where it would normally be 5 but it looked like it might be a bit better today. Phoenix was the normal 5 mins. It was fabulous not to have everyone carrying on beau coup luggage. Faster loading and more leg space.

OK stuff as of today - up to 4 ounces saline solution and eye drops. Pills but not probably not in gel form. I had a small unmarked container of motrin that was fine. Chapstick was fine. Sunglasses were fine.

Little tip: take the hand lotion from the hotel and hand it to the baggage/ticket agent to be thrown out when you check in or at the last minute. She acted like she'd had this happen all week. Marrriot just changed to this icky smalling Ginger Carrot toiletries group so I had no problem throwing the stuff out.

Not OK - you cannot carry on liquid of any form including water. You may buy beverages in stores or restaurants as usual but you must drink or discard it before boarding.

Water on the planes - may be served in a reasonable time and but then it may not. Sac to Phx, drinks were served over an hour into a 1:40 flight. Not cool. Coming back they were very prompt.

Regarding carrying your own water onto planes, Cali, read the news. Airline water is rarely bottled, unlike sodas and juice. The EPA has found contaminated water and come to "agreements" with the airlines. That leaves drinks which are either carbonated, caffeinated, high calorie or artificially sweetened. Really healthy choices.

Another reason to fly Jet Blue - they give you bottled water.

I wish they flew more places...

I'm being paranoid, but I'm going to bring my prescription for my one-day disposable contacts so I can carry them with me on my flight to DC next week.

The contacts are in little individual foil-sealed packets with less than a ml (way less than 4 oz) of saline in each, and although I don't see them on the prohibited list, I don't see contact lenses on the allowed list either, so I'm going to hedge my bets. Hopefully with the prescription I won't run into any problems. See I'm not complaining, I'm adapting.

If I put my contacts in checked baggage and the bag was lost or delayed, I'd be hosed - my vision is so bad it's distorted when I wear my glasses so I have a hard time concentrating when do wear them. OK, now I'm complaining that I'm so nearsighted.

he went through security with an empty nalgeen bottle.
After that, he went into the men's room and filled it with water
and boarded the airplane with it.

He pointed out that the reason they are checking for liquids is that
some chemicals explode upon contact with the liquid. any liquid...
like urine or the cans of pepsi you get from the stewardess.


Now don't you all feel safer now?

[salsabike]

Ginger Carrot lotion? Eeeewwwwww.

[Veronica]

Now don't you all feel safer now?

Gee, maybe we should all just stay in our beds with the covers pulled up over our heads. Oh wait, I'm sure there's something that could kill me here too...

i would definitely double check cuz i did hear on one newscast that contact solution was one way of getting the "liquid" they needed on the plane (along with sports drinks)

i don't think you're complaining... i think you are asking (but i'll still get b!tched at by a certain few on here!)

Bedbugs don't need water, they drink your blood
