Anyone ever tried putting shampoo in a small bottle and bringing it through TSA? They literally will not allow it to go through unless you have written "Shampoo" on the bottle. As if a terrorist is unable to write "Shampoo" on a 2oz liquid bomb...

Incidentally, this policy was put in place under the Bush jr administration. So we have a true to life literal example of that screening methodology being put in place by a different doofus.

It has been sometime since I heard the blame it on Bush excuse. Guess you are a little behind on current events.

It's called ISIL.

And Obama started it.

The bag was pulled aside to get inspected and get the bomb residue swipe thing.

I guess they need to make sure it’s cheese not plastic explosives.

Can you imagine how many bags they need to inspect per day from people flying out of WI with cheese?

They also confiscated my bottle of homemade maple syrup that Rocky gifted me. I guess they don’t like unlabeled bottles of amber liquid either.

Was it in your carry on? Or checked luggage?

If it was carry on, then it was probably because it was over the 3oz limit. If it was luggage, ya got me, because I transport unlabeled mason jars of sauces, preserves, etc, all the time in my checked luggage. It gets searched every time by TSA, but I've never lost a bottle or jar.

It was in my carry on and it was over the 3 oz limit. I pack pretty light so I don't have to check my luggage.

I knew there was a chance it might get taken but I had to try it anyway. I told the guy I'll taste some and he could taste some to prove it wasn't anything hazardous but it was a no go. He wasn't a jerk about it, just doing his job.

Tried with a couple bottles of home brew. Back before the craze was nationwide. My guy in Wisconsin (coincidence) made them and gave me some.

Had to leave them behind.
