Sounds like Mad Maxie was “preoccupied” again.
FWIW, TSA Security Theater would not let my wife bring a jar of huckleberry jam she bought in Butte in her carry-on through the checkpoint, so she had to get a smaller, more expensive jar at the gift shop to bring home.
Whatever happened to happy hands Maxie?
Your toothpaste tube is too big. You cannot carry that unopened bottle of h2O. Put your eyeglasses in the bin, but no worries if you’re wearing them.
Oh, I can keep my shoes on? Guess no old guys have done the shoe bomb shuffle lately. How about my belt…take it off…why?…you might have a buckle knife on there! How ’bout this mag? No problema…and no worries if the guy one line over has a pistola with an empty mag well.
Yet no one in a public policy position will even discuss with me the simple concept of putting “security” in the hands of the air carriers who have an interest in getting it right and getting rid of the fed job jar called TSA. Ditto re getting ATC out from under the CONgress.
No idea what passes for security in other parts of the world now but had a conversation with a Dutch security guy some years back who simply commented that ” we do not agree with your TSA’s methods and practices and do things our way here”
Combine this nonsense with the sardine style/blood clot seating in all but 1st class I believe I’ll drive most everywhere.
