I had all my toiletry containers, specifically chosen because they were 100ml, confiscated because they "looked big" to the agent. The agent literally said they "looked like 110ml versions". I had like 4 total.
- OJFord 5y agoI had an almost-empty container clearly marked 150ml (or something) confiscated because it was.. marked more than 100ml. Also razor blades, I don't know if they're supposed to be allowed, being only about an inch long, but nope - shaving with expensive junk or growing a holiday beard are the only approved options!
- sokoloff 5y ago> almost-empty container clearly marked 150ml (or something) confiscated That's correct according to the TSA rules. https://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/files/liquidsrule_example-outlined.svg https://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/files/liquidsrule_example-... (We can wrap ourselves around many axles debating the utility of these rules, but that's at least a correct interpretation of the rule.)
- OJFord 5y agoWell it wasn't in (or travelling to) the USA, but sure, it may have been by whatever book was in use. I'm just saying it's nonsensical; that what we put ourselves through is quite detached from actual risks and what's reasonable. I can buy a >100ml container post-security, or even take an empty one through, and decant there, so what's that protecting against?
