My wife flew to Houston yesterday, and they confiscated her mascara.
Anyone else had trouble with carrying on makeup?

What next ????
They'll be demanding that you remove your shoelaces or maybe we'll all have to travel naked.
Radio talk-back recently had this as an issue (most ridiculous item confiscated by airport security) .
We are lucky though.

Hi ladies.
First it was box cutters, then pens,nail files,liquids and shoes. Just be thankful no one ever put a device in their butt! Whoa! I can just imagine the long lines in airports around Provincetown and San Francisco. Hugs
Love

We traveled a couple of weeks ago and they found my wife's mascara and told her that it was a liquid and it needed to be in her clear zip lock bag. They handed it to her, had her put it into the zip lock bag (with some other makeup items she had) and ran it through the x-ray machine again.
Seemed ridiculous to me, but they let her keep this potentially dangerous cargo. I guess the plastic bag has some mysterious power to protect us.

The normal government reaction is to over react to a problem, which makes it even worse. Then when the public starts screaming, they start backing off. It's called beng parinord.
