All he had to do was to unscrew the bottom and empty out the liquid. Problem solved. I doubt it happened but what ever.

Liquids are not allowed on the airplane. Read the rules and understand them. It ain't rocket science people ... geez.

Well, that was better than the average click bait story. Put that stuff in checked bags people. Once I had time to mail my swiss army knife to myself at an airport after I forgot to put it in my checked bag. Coming up with a good enough package to do so wasn't easy.

Maybe they don't allow liquids in checked bags either come to think of it.

Bottom line is every other day of the week TSA changes their policies and rules. I don't like having my personal private property stolen by government thugs......so.......I've made the decision to stay earth bound.

After you get your stuff stolen, you tend to not want to volunteer a second time so the thieves can steal from you again.

Yes, liquids are allowed as checked. No issues. We travel all the time and it's not a big deal. I would not recommend it. With air pressure changes, weight of surrounding bags ... etc you might end up with a broken container in your bag. You are allowed 3 oz containers in carry on, put them in a 1 qt baggy for TSA, pull it out when you go through security.... presto .... done.

TSA does not change their policies often at all. The only times things change is when an event happens and people over react. Second, the number of people who have their bags pilfered is about equal to the number of people who run in to bad cops ... which is to say minuscule. The stats prove me right and you wrong every single time. As for you staying earth bound, it occurs to me that you are probably on the 'no fly' list and are earth bound by force as opposed to choice. You are mentally unstable and paranoid. I would not be surprised to find that you interfered with a TSA agent or a member of the flight crew on your last flight (who knows when that was) and the government said you can't play like an adult so you are grounded.

Your stories are about as believable as Idle's. If by some strange coincidence even half of your stores are true, you are by far one of the most unlucky people on the planet. The amount of bad chit that happens to you is just off the chart. So ..... what did you do to piss off the TSA or flight crew to get grounded?

Unhappy Obfuscating

Once again the alt right coward (H.M.) lies and twist the truth to suit his pathetic childish emotional needs .

The truth is : a Lady did a nice thing for an old man who didn't want to follow the law, a thing H.M. claims to be in support of but not this time .

? Why didn't you make the thread about a nice good Samaritan or how the evil muslims have managed to screw up basic air travel in America ? .

Because, you're a scared troll is why .

Do you even own a Mercedes ? why are you here ? .

People here have listened to your probably false "poor me , I'm suffering so" stories and actually tried to be helpful but no, you're in the thrall of sean hannity Et Al who hate America and fear freedom and equality .

You need help Sir .

It's sad to hear about your problems of dealing with reality.

I keep telling people: Get out of the house. If you live a life of dullness you have only yourself to blame.

A tip for the traveling public. Don't fly. But when you do need to charter a jet. You can go big time if you wish but you can usually find a deal in the two to three thousand dollar an hour range. If the TSA really bothers you there are alternatives.

And if you have to fly commercial then don't take any luggage at all. Just buy what you need when you get there. And toss it when you leave. You would be shocked to see how little you can get by on for a few days.

Just stop all the whining. If you are really that upset then call your congressman. This is bought on to you by the government; let them know you are unhappy.

MAGA!!

Last I flew was 2003. Arrived at the airport only to find a male TSA agent searching through a female passenger's suitcase. He was holding up her bras and panties for the entire AIRPORT to see. The woman was obviously both embarassed and distressed by his actions.

This. One thing I've learned about cops is they have absolutely no feelings whatsoever for the other party. They are sociopaths through and through. This TSA agent was CLUELESS as to the effect his actions were having on the female passenger. In other words, he flat a** didn't care and didn't give a s*** that he was PUBLICLY HUMILIATING the female passenger.

That was the last time I flew and I was really really sorry everyone in that airport that day had to endure Gestapo style strip searches.

I have trouble with reality? Wow. That is rich coming from someone with as many imaginary friends as Husky.

I found air fare to San Diego on AA for $400 for the both of us. That comes out to about $66 a hour. Never had problems with bags. Been flying since I was a kid. Never had a bag pilfered. I do not know anyone who had their bag pilfered. My sister did have a salami taken by customs on the way back from Europe. I laughed my ass off.

Buy clothing? What a colossal waste of money. You're a fool.

I'm guessing you meant to quote Husky and you are still a fool.

You, along with millions of other "sheeple" AKA "guinea pigs" AKA "crash test dummies", have made the decision to continue allowing them to use and abuse you everytime you board one of THEIR aircraft.

The genuis in their program is in the fact that somehow they have convinced you and millions of other sheeple that you are oh, so very intelligent for allowing them to do so.

Somewhere, higher ups at home land no-security, TSA and the Airlines are having one h*ll of a good laugh about all of it.......

Real people oftimes have jobs or other obligations that require long distance, time constrained travel. Curling up at home with the shades drawn surrounded by defensive weaponry for those is a non-starter.

Thanks for the advice Husky but most of us will take our chances tempting fate.
