Has anyone flown internationally recently? I am planning a trip and I have read everything and it is still unclear. Can I take my hair dryer, curling iron and mascara onboard in my carry on? Thanks

I carried a curling iron, hair dryer, mascara on board both directions in October. No problem with the curling iron and hair dryer. I forgot to put the mascara in the quart ziplock on the way home and security removed it from my makeup bag and put it in the ziplock bag. Maybe I was just lucky that day.

I'm not planning on ever (hopefully) checking luggage, as I know too many people who have had their luggage lost, so.....in a few weeks I'm going to AZ and need to bring my asthma inhalers plus a nasal spray, all prescription drugs. I have the original packages with my name on. My question is, I have not traveled since the new rules....I know that I can put my liquid products such as makeup, hairspray, and the like in 3 oz. containers in a quart bag for screeing, but you are only allowed 1 of these bags per person.

What about my prescription inhalers? How do I present these to the screeners if I cannot use another quart baggie? Thanks for your suggestions and help!

Oh, another question, what about medications in pill form, are these screened in any way?

Only one ziplock bag per person. If they won't fit in one bag, then 'check' the things that you will not need for the flight. If you are flying with a partner, maybe it would fit in their bag. Otherwise, expect to see your things that don't fit in the ziplock bag placed in the trash.

If this is a problem, check the schedules for Amtrak and Greyhound.

Sorry, but TSA has heard every excuse in the book.

Don't worry about your medicine, inhalers, etc. Those are in additional to the quart-size bag. You won't have problems. Keep your medicine stuff together so that they can inspect them easily, if needed.

Our most recent flights were last November, so I assume nothing has changed since then. We put all our medications (both prescription and over-the-counter in their original containers, including an inhaler)in a zippered cotton bag. That bag is placed in my husband's carry-on bag. We've never had a problem clearing security.

Perhaps if I get a note from my doctor, I can bring my bottle of wine through security?
