Do you have documentation of this? Solid form lipstick is allowed..it is
just the gel gloss that is not.
Why all the criticism of the T/A? They are trying to follow the rules as
they get them from the higher ups.
A member of my family knows a T/A agent and if you heard the horror stories
that he has told, you might be a little more tolerant. He said he could
write a book on all the things that people try to bring or sneak on a plane
and the rude remarks and behavior that they have to put up with from some of
the passengers every day.. Print out a DO NOT TAKE sheet off the TSA site
and follow the rules!

So does that mean EVERYONE in her line had two hours before their flight? I
sure hope that I don't get in line at the airport behind someone like her
next Tuesday..I can see why the T/A agent's patience would run thin...She
KNEW that lip gel was not allowed or else she would not have put her other
lip gel in her checked in bag.
Her fault, not the T/A agent's who was doing his/her job.
--Jean<--may sound mean but I'm tired of peoples' apathy and disregarding
the law.
