The U.S. Transportation Security Administration issued a Security Directive to airlines Monday prohibiting printer and toner ink cartridges weighing 16 ounces (453 grams) in passenger carry-on and checked baggage on domestic and international flights. This applies to revenue and nonrevenue passengers as well as crewmembers. This SD does not apply to Delta Private Charter flights.
“The TSA is implementing new security measures including a prohibition of the transportation on board domestic or international flights of printer/toner cartridges weighing 16 ounces or more,” the TSA said in a statement to air carriers. “Accordingly, effective Monday, November 8, 2010, passengers and crewmembers are prohibited from transporting these items in either carry-on or checked baggage.”
TSA what a joke. A day late and a dollar short comes to mind.

what a gigantic useless government agency we created.

Typical TSA.......re-active instead of pro-active.
Shoe Bomber = shoes off through security.
Liquid bomb dry run = no liquids greater then 3.4 ounces
Underwear bomber = body scanners
Bombs shipped on UPS/FedEx = no printers/cartiridges weighing 16+ ounces.
Soon their lack of pro-action will cost lives. What a waste.
