I said I didn't have one as I was ON DUTY and IN UNIFORM, to which I got a blank stare and just got waved through.

I don't have a boarding pass, but I DO have a giant bottle of shampoo in my bag!!

I was totally unaware of the requirement to be in uniform. I commute from IAD (never in uniform) and consistently have all my toiletries scattered in my suitcase. They haven't said a thing to me. Nice to see there's no standard across the board. But hey, it hasn't hurt me yet.

To post this kind of thing, IMHO, is reckless and unprofessional.

That's borderline SSI...your'e right - so why did you quote me so that I could not withdraw my comment??

I'm sure if there is going to be a breach of security, it will come from the pilots. I sure couldn't see a security breach coming from that highly trained and disciplined group of TSA screeners. No question about it. I know who I would put my trust in.
