The following liquids, previously the weapons of well-known or suspected terrorists, are once again Safe to Bring Aboard Airplanes. Unless the TSA folks at the security checkpoints decide they aren’t.
- Small amounts of Baby formula and breast milk if a baby or small child is traveling
- Liquid prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger’s ticket
- Up to 5 oz. (148ml) of liquid or gel low blood sugar treatment
- Up to 4 oz. of essential non-prescription liquid medications including saline solution, eye care products and KY jelly
- Gel-filled bras and similar prostethics [sic]
- Gel-filled wheelchair cushions
- Life support and life sustaining liquids such as bone marrow, blood products, and transplant organs carried for medical reasons
What if you prefer AquaGlide to KY? Just curious. And will we get in trouble if we know how to spell prosthetics correctly?
As BoingBoing comments:
Note to Al Qaeda: start recruiting diabetic/wheelchair-bound bombers now, just in case you can change physics back without the TSA noticing.
Let’s hope that the non-bomber diabetics don’t need six ounces of sugar-water in-flight, though.
