flying restrictions

[iwishiwasthere]

I am flying tomorrow to see my girl in NC. Haven't flown since the new restrictions....if I take a carry-on, will it be searched or just scanned? I have not paid attention since I did not think I would be flying this soon.

There is only one restriction or your bag will be checked.
NO CLOTHES with the exception of a wad of underwear.
You may bring aerosol cans, matches, lighters, a helium can so you can make funny noises while on the plane to make the other passengers laugh.
Oh, and don't forget. They don't make Starbucks the same INSIDE the airport, purchase one before you go in, and bring a doctors note that you will non-functional if you cannot bring it in with you!
Seriously, they have lifted quite a few items from the ban

honestly, it's pretty much the same as it ever was. you just need to check any liquids and sharp objects. don't buy starbucks, support your local coffee shop.

Basically you can take any liquid or gel through security with you as long as each container is at most three ounces and all of the liquids and/or gels fit in a one-quart baggie. But you can buy anything you want in the shops that are beyond the security screening area.

I would think that every company that makes cosmetics, tooth paste, shampoo, etc., would be rushing to get out 3-ounce sizes. Hubby is leaving tomorrow to go to Europe for a week, and CVS had no three-ounce plastic containers for transferring his toiletries into. I guess he'll buy stuff after he passes security.

It's definitely more of a hassle for a female. I have a boatload of gel and liquid makeup and personal hygiene products. It'd be a pain in the a$$ to transfer all of that to three-ounce containers. But I can't depend on finding comparable products at airport shops (not to mention the expense). I mean, do they have $200+ a jar Natura-Bisse Diamond moisturizer at the airport shops? I think not. My brother is a manager on the Delta ramp. He tells me how luggage is abused. No way I'm checking my luggage with all of my expensive cosmetics inside. And there *is* a difference.

What to do? Hopefully by the next time I fly, TSA will have figured out how to sniff out the bomb gel from the hair gel. Otherwise, I'll have to go to Needless-Markup and load up on samples.

BR- why didn't he buy those little toiletries at CVS. They have them and they are less then 3 oz. ? There in the bins. I also have those little hotel bottles of shampoo, lotions etc., and I refill mine with my favs instead for short hurdy gurdys. I went and look at some of my cosmetics since we are traveling next week, and I thought they were larger than 3 oz, but they weren't, and I wear Estee Lauder.

Okay, we must have overlooked them. We'll go back tomorrow. Thanks.

But I just looked up Natura Bisse. The $250 jar only contains 1.7 ounces (what a rip-off), yet the jar must weigh half a pound. So does TSA go by weight of the contents or weight of the container plus contents? Guess I need to look that up.
