Not allowed for carry-on. Has to be with your checked baggage.

What if your eyes act up during the 5 hour trans-continental flight? Would the airlines provide eye drops?

 

[KDOG]

Unless its medicine or baby food, its NO.

No, No, No.

People are having to pour out their colognes and perfumes at the security check-in. They literally are requiring you to empty all of your carry-on luggage and checking everything.

I wonder if they'd ban insulin... I never check mine in because I've experienced the lost luggage thing too many times.

Yeah, I'm flying tomorrow. I'm checking everything except a book.

EDIT: Man, good luck with the insulin.

The only liquids which are exempt from the ban are baby formula and medicine. Insulin is fine.

Yep, just make sure the medicine is in your name.

Local new is reporting that the TSA is making people TASTE baby food and formula.

What about eye drops? What about contact solutions?

Are they liquid? Not allowed.

What about lotions?
What about cologne?
What about hair spray?

What if they are frozen, so they are now solids? Or what about something that has coagulated?

There's all kinds of ways a liquid can be hidden within the confines of a solid object. This will be a real challenge to the scanners. Blowing up planes is stupid anyway but then again we're talking about terrorists so anything is possible.

Exactly. Unless they enforce the completely emptying of everyone's bladder, intestines and stomach of any kind of liquid, I wouldn't feel safe.

Don't get me wrong, I have plenty appreciation for what those in Brit counter terrorism have done and am appreciative if any lives have been saved.

Today is why its so unacceptable for the @sshat politicians (and not just repubs) to have been flagrantly using their lying @ss fearmongering over the last 4 years simply to extend their @sshat policies and drum up votes.

It should never be kicked around lightly and abused for political gain, and the seriousness of today is a perfect reason why.

Oh, you're also not allowed to take any "remote controls" with you on-board. So, if you have to fly, be sure to put your keys in your checked-in baggage because they won't allow you to carry-on your remote car door opener.

Are you certain about that? I just contacted United's customer service, and they said the only restrictions for carry-ons were liquids; nothing about any electronic devices. TSA's website seems to confirm that.

The reporter that AM750 had at Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta this morning was saying that any kind of remote control was not being allowed. Though, cell phones were being allowed.

There is a lot of misinformation floating around. The first customer service rep at United that I talked to said the delays only affected flights to London! I really wish TSA or one of the media outlets would clear up some of the confusion.

Well, the key remotes are definitely banned in the UK - Link

Passengers may take through the airport security search point, in a single (ideally transparent) plastic carrier bag, only the following items. Nothing may be carried in pockets:

-Pocket-size wallets and pocket-size purses plus contents (no handbags);
-essential travel documents (for example, passports and travel tickets);
-prescription drugs and essential medical items except in liquid form unless verified as authentic;
-spectacles and sunglasses, without cases;
-contact lens holders, without bottles of solution;
-for those travelling with an infant: baby food, milk (the contents of each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger) and sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight (nappies, wipes, creams and nappy disposal bags);
-female sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight, if unboxed (eg tampons, pads, towels and wipes);
-tissues (unboxed) and/or handkerchiefs; and
-keys (but no electrical key fobs).

 

[MaxDepth]

Does this mean we have to check all of our alcohol, especially when we leave Barbados?

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/10/world/europe/11terrorcnd.html

In the United States, federal officials put in place new regulations barring passengers from carrying any liquids, gels or lotions onto planes, except for baby formula or prescription medicines.

That means if I want to bring booze to Atlanta, I have to pack it instead of bringing it on board.

Gee, thanks al Qaeda. You suck.

Yeah, the UK restrictions are stricter than US ones.

Thats kind of dumb about remote control or Car less key entry. What happens if you put that stuff in your checked in bag and the airline looses it.

I would plan on that.

 

[OutHouse]

I have a 0615 flight out of DIA tomorrow morning, because of this i will need to leave the house no later than 4am to ensure i get through security.

Im very glad to hear the brits caught these assholes and not hear this morning that 9 flights blew up over the atlantic. major KUDOS to Scotland Yard!! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

 

[gsellis]

Based on the info, it looks like they were planning a binary explosive (two seperate elements combined in flight). They have said either peroxide or gel explosive. So, they would put two folks on each flight.
