Maybe she was trying to tell you something about your aftershave.

Yeah. She is a pro at spotting anything over 3.4oz. Your day will come!

You forgot "Totally Stupit A*******"

I once heard that they made Troy Smith check his Heisman trophy on his way home.

Its so scarey that these idots with no common sense are the ones relied upon to stop terrorism at our airports. We had an instructor at our airline who accidentaly had his airport id expire the day before and although his airline id was valid, he was not allowed through security. The stupid thing is you don't even need an airport id, so long as you have an airline id. So he went to his airline's ticket counter, got a "fake" boarding pass and the same TSA agent who wouldn't let him in the first time (who also watched him get the boarding pass), let him in with the pass. These are the people that are protecting us. They are encouraged not to use common sense.

Is a turkey sandwich a liquid? No... but what if you put the turkey sandwich in a blender? hehehehe.... :D

Dude, you should have reached in your suitcase and taken your epillets out. Scotch tape them to the shoulders of your suit. Tell them its your airline's new uniform and to kiss your ass. Get through security, put the epillets back in the bag and have a nice day.

Off subject:
The epaulets (sp?) are the "thingys" (extra material and buttons) that allow you to attach "shoulder boards" to your uniform shirt. No?

They're both:

Main Entry: ep·au·let

I think you meant .6oz, but I get your point. The actual limit is 100mL, which I believe mirrors the ban the Brits instated when this whole liquids mess began. It just so happens that 100mL is 3.4fl.oz. You know how dumb airline passengers can be. Why confuse them with SI units?

Hee hee. I like the [sic]. Nice touch.

It has nothing to do with the amount of product, so much as the size of the container you're carrying the stuff in. I got into a discussion with one of the TSA guys a month or two ago when I had decided to travel to the West Coast in civilian cloths. He found this clear plastic tube I had with my shampoo in it. The majority of the contents had been used and so there was maybe 1/5th of the original contents still left. The problem was that the TSA guy keyed on the fact that the tube was labeled as a 4 once tube. He said I couldn't take it because it was over 3 ounces. I said that, as he could plainly see, most of the stuff inside was gone. He said it didn't matter as the tube clearly said 4 ounces. I gave him my shampoo and continued on my way, shaking my head at the stupidity of it all.
