SusanandLance, let me ask you a question....Do you feel safer having the TSA screeners there to check you and your baggage?

That isn't what the TSA site says. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/specialneeds/editorial_1059.shtm
It's somewhat confusing the way it's worded, and in that case it may have been left up to the discretion of the agent. More than likely it was confiscated because it was over 3.4 oz and not a prescription. Cough syrup like Vicks 44 may not be considered 'medically necessary' and may not be allowed. If it's 3.4 oz or less, no issues. If it's a prescription, it can exceed 3.4 oz.

The only reason why your daughter's meds were confiscated were because they were OTC (over the counter) liquid meds. If it was a prescription, it needs to have a label on it, and in that case, it won't be confiscated regardless of the number of ounces. If you want to be picky, the allowable limit is actually 3.4 oz or 100 ml. And if the meds were that important, get out of line and go check it with your other luggage. Not trying to sound like a d*ck, but most people don't know the rules. I fly often. I know the rules. I don't get hassled.

Wow! I wasn't going to comment here until I read this! It wasn't that long ago you were mocking me about getting "greasy" working on million dollar buses! Hmmmm....Like I said, there are definately some sorry TSA agents out there(sorry about your experience). And as far as my trailer trash comment, it does hold water. Do you have any idea what most of my gate calls are as a technican?? They are for dirty, soiled, seat cushions. Bet that surprized you..........:huh:
:thumbsup: You too!! My wife was out of town and I figured I'd suprise her. I had to hustle but I got 'er done over the weekend.I had a double wide once. One side a 1976 and the other side a 1980. Bolted them together where the doors lined up. Heck of a time matching the roof line. One had a flat front window over the hitch and the other a bay window. :smt043:smt043
Not at MCO Scott!!!:smt018You do know that they are the same folks, different uniform, right? 99% of the people working security prior to 9/11 were brought along with the change to TSA.
i have to admit, i did all live in one in Arizona, when I first enlisted in the Air Force, it was all I could afford, but it sure beated living on base putting up w/all the BS there.:lol:I have lived in my share of trailers when I was younger and when we first got married. Sometimes I miss those days! Way less stress...lol
What I was trying to say, DONNIE.............. Was in the early days of flying commercial (when I was young and you were in diapers) people dressed up nice to fly, heck most people looked as they were going to church. now people are so damn nasty getting on the plane that they ruin the damn seat covers immediately upon sitting down. Down right NASTY if you ask me. You just don't have any idea Donnie, but trust me, I do!!Wow! I wasn't going to comment here until I read this! It wasn't that long ago you were mocking me about getting "greasy" working on million dollar buses! Hmmmm....
I fly more than most business men, I fly for free, (don't hate), and very seldom have ANY problem. But, i know the rules and play by them. And go through security several times a day. Some of the SH#@ people think they can bring on an aircraft, UNBELIEVEABLE!!! I mean really, people have forgotten 9/11 already??? I haven't, I was laid off for months after the attack(with thousands of others), I'll gladly deal w/the inconvenience than to deal w/the alternative.I guess the problem is that due to bomb making advancements, you can make substantial weapons with a small amount of liquid components.
I agree it can be a pain in the ass, but like I said earlier, I travel often and I don't ever check a bag. I know the rules and I only pack what I need and what fits within the guidelines. I'm never hassled.
