” Federal officials said they did not believe terrorism was involved, but that Ouelette already had two outstanding warrants in Florida for “unlawful flight.”
My wife had a lipstick confiscated by a hostile TSA agent.
The rest of us can’t bring more than 3 ounces of toothpaste and it has to be in a clear quart size bag..or else.
And yet somehow others are freely able to bring bombs
and other incendiary devices aboard.
The list of prohibited carry on items by the TSA is hilarious.
Box cutters, Ice Axes/Ice Picks, Sabers, Swords , Baseball Bats, Bows and Arrows,
Spear Guns, Firearms, Starter Pistols, Flares , Axes and Hatchets , Crowbars , Saws,
Hammers , Billy Clubs, Stun Guns, Black Jacks , Blasting Caps, Fireworks , Plastic Explosives , Gasoline , Turpentine,
Paint , Fire Extinguishers , Torches, Tear Gas.
And my two favorites- Dynamite and Cattle Prods.

I can understand the banning of the flammable and explosive stuff because there is already enough stuff that’s going to burn and go kaboom when one of these things go splat. It’s also understandable that they also want to prevent another crash like the Valuejet crash in the Everglades.
But some of the other banned items for carry on is absurd. My aunt wasn’t allowed to board a flight one time because she was hand carrying a wedding gift for a family friend. The gift (a crystal handled silver cake knife) was wrapped with a bow and eveything. She called the airline, they said there wasn’t any problem. She asked the agent when checking in her bags, agent said there wasn’t any problem. She gets to the security checkpoint, and they said that she couldn’t be allowed through because it’s a “weapon”.
But on the bright side, you can still bring tools (7 inches or less), and scissors (4 inches or less) on board according to TSA..... Not like a phillips or flat head screwdriver in trained hands couldn’t be used as a weapon or anything /sarc
