If you travel by plane much, then you’re fully aware of the ever-so-stringent rules of the TSA regarding anything in liquid form being brought onto an aircraft.
It had been a few months since my last time on a plane and I completely spaced the 3-1-1 rule.
As ridiculous as I think the rule is, I follow it. I cram as many 3 oz. items as I can into a plastic bag.
Only this time around, I didn’t. I had all of this in my backpack as I tried to get through security:
It went through security just fine. No one stopped me. I was completely unaware that I had even broken the “rule”. Not one thing was even in a plastic bag!
When I went through security on the return flight, they asked to search the backpack.
Sure! Whoops…that’s when I realized my fateful mistake.
As I was mentally starting to say goodbye to the Mary Kay items that were still quite full, the TSA agent looks at me & says, “We have to take this because it’s over the size limit.” And that was it. Everything else could stay.
He confiscated a tube of toothpaste.
I was allowed to take EVERYTHING ELSE on the plane with me.
RULES???? What RULES????
Thank goodness they let you keep the Mary Kay!! Toothpaste is cheaper… 🙂

Oh yea the airport regulations, we have it down to a fine art with all the traveling we do…..however, my sister can only just about laugh now about a horrible confiscation of new “Temple Spa” products!
What’s 3-1-1 though? Here we are allowed 10 items of no more than 100ml each.
oops, just read your link for the 3-1-1 – thanks, ignore my question above! 🙂
