A few? Welcome to my world! I fly da planz butt dont worree, da TSA gangstaz take away my hare jell and toofpaste so yu still safe!
What I find to be the most ridiculous thingis that you may have 10, 3oz containers of the same liquid or jell, but not 0.5oz in a 3.1oz container. Stupid rules written by stupid people (IMHO). At least they have started to supply the zip lock bags. I empty the box into my carryon every time I fly. I'll never buy sandwich bags again!
About a month ago, I was flying out of Richmond, and put my 1 gallon zip lock bag into the tray for inspection. I had a tube of shaving jell which apparently said that it's capacity was greater than 3oz. I had flown many times with this same container and never hada problem, but then, this day I ran into TSA agentCaptain America.
He removed the tubefrom the bag and informed me that he was going to confiscate it. I said nothing and continued to move forward waiting for my turnthough the metal detector. He stared at me and told me again that he was going to confiscate it. Again I said nothing. He told me a third time, and I was forced to say "Good. Enjoy it."
I guess he thought this was my idea of asking a question, so he proceeded to tell me that containers greater than 3oz were not allowed. I told him that he should take that super dangerous shaving jell away as it was a very dangerous liquid. He said "it could be". As stupid as the conversation was, I couldn't help but saying, "I agree, think of all the things I could do with it, like....shave, and.....".
As I was about to go through the metal detector, the supervisor approached me and tried to hand me the tube back. He said that it wasn't allowed on the plane and that I had to put it in the garbage. After I chuckled, the rest of the conversation went like this:
Me:"I'm not going to touch that. That agent over there confiscated it and I have no idea what he has done to it, or what he has put inside it. You have it now, you do with it whatever you like."
Supervisor: "What do you think he did to it?"
Me:"I have no idea, but I was forced to listen to how dangerous that container of shaving jell could be, so I'm scared to touch it."
I went through the metal detector and carried on. Where did they get these two boobs?
