3 THINGS I REALLY NEED WHEN I FLY!
I have really bad sinuses, so when I fly overseas, I have to have saline spray and Ayr gel, so the inside of my nose doesn't dry out, and I always have a small bottle of Maalox (liquid), the pills don't work for me. What am I going to do? Do you think they will accept Dr.'s notes? I'm serious!

The restrictions say that prescription liquid medison is okay and only if verified authentic. No over the counter liquid meds. So maybe you could get your Dr to give you a prescription for something and take that, but go to the airport early so they can call to verify that the prescription and med is authentic.

I have a book with me everywhere I go--even long lines at the DMV. Surely they don't think we'll take 10 hour flights without water?
Are electric key fobs the ones you point at your car door to unlock it? Or do they mean the ones that actually have a remote starter? If they lose your luggage and it costs $600 to replace a Mercedes key, I think they are going to have some uproars.

I think that as they narrow down just exactly what this latest plot entailed various items will return to the Ok list. My understanding was items one could get at that last concourse (after security) would be allowed (certainly would be a windfall for those businesses). I would expect, once one is on-board they will have water available. It is a bummer for sure for those folks traveling in the next few days, especially from the UK. We are hopeful they will find some middle ground for the 99.9% of travelers that wish to do no harm (and would like eye and nose drops while reading their book). Since we only carry on (and have a connection to catch in less than an hour on September 9) we are already deciding on the manner in which to handle this latest inconvenience. Thank goodness there is no talk of cutting out the cocktails!! Shirley

Use the butter they give you with your in-flight meal as lip gloss.
Seriously, folks, the rest of us do not want to have to stand on line behind you while you argue with security that you'll go nuts if you can't take your lip gloss into the cabin.

I agree with Robespierre about the doctor's note.
When this crisis is over and we go back to the "usual" airport security screening is there going to be the possibility that is when another plotter will try to get explosives on board?
What is wrong with the current security measures that they are felt to be inadequate only when a "plot" is uncovered.
Are they still adequate when plots aren't uncovered?

Another question. Since we will have to get to the airport earlier, because of security, and we usually fly in the a.m. if possible, we bring breakfast on board. How can my bagel pose a terror threat? I don't want to pay $$$$ for airline food, and BTW, domestically, its usually not offered for sale or otherwise, is it? I agree with the poster who says the only 2 things they really need is to take off safely and land safely. How can a book cause trouble?

zwho: Perhaps this is off subject...but you ask
>>>How can a book cause trouble?<<<
I don't want to step on anyone's toes here, but there are a few books that have proven to be the underlying cause of millions of violently tragic deaths the world over.

How could a bagel cause any trouble? How could gatorade cause any trouble?
The point is that they are trying to keep carryon items to a mimunum: Your wallet, your passport, your essential medicine, so that there are not miles 13 miles long while they examine your bagel and bible.
Folks, do try to get a grip. You are only going on an 8-hour plane flight. You don't need your blankie and your bagel and your book. Watch the movie.
