Easy for the Baggage Handlers to get a pass key. It may have been them and not the TSA but who knows. Hope you filled a claim.

Years ago we were traveling with 2 kids and the younger one was ~8. He was pull of the line just as we were boarding. He was lead to behind a screened area for search. I followed about 15 feet behind and the tsa agent rudely said I could not come. I protested that in no way I would allow him to search a kid alone behind a screen area all by themselves. I need at least a visual. He again said rudely for me to stay back. I kept complain until another tsa intervened and said was okay. Saw a similar thing happen to a girl ~6? at another airport. She was crying and screaming and the parent were not allowed to go with her. (What idiots do they hire!)
Trip back from San Fransciso last year. tsa directing first class passenger and elite frequent flyer members to a shorter screen line. Must be getting paid under the table to help airlines with their preferred customers.Comment

Actually, they are getting paid above the table by both the Airports and Airlines for that additional service.Originally posted by davhu1

I do a lot of photography and invariably when we travel I have a backpack full of cameras, lenses, chargers, etc. and this usually results in my being pulled aside and my backpack checked manually. I have just come to expect it now. My 50-500 mm lens is the one that always throws them off as when it is not extended it just looks thru the scanner as a big cylinder and they always want to look at that. Once in Mexico I was even asked to put the lens on a camera and take a photo. lolken H.,Ballston Lake, NY

My wife has had double knee replacement and it she always gets pulled for additional scanning and pad down search. We know it is going to happen and just plan for it.Comment

I have a dark complication and I am searched every time I go on an airplane. To the point where I try to avoid planes.

Because your jelly can be used as the fuel source for a homemade explosive device. Or something else that would be an even better fuel source can be disguised as homemade jelly.Originally posted by shaggy
The rule restricting all liquids to 3 oz or less per container one quart size Zip-loc bag maximum creates a practical limit on the amount of homemade bomb making materials that one individual can bring onto an airplane.“Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.”

Does toothpaste count as a liquid? If not, the only liquid item I have is eye drops. Everything else I bring is paste or powder.DonComment

I've always considered toothpaste, and things like it (hand cream) in the liquid category.Originally posted by vintner
Just came back as I just checked the TSA website (always the best reference). The restriction is on liquids and gels. Here is a statement that might help:
"If you need larger amounts of liquids, gels and aerosols such as toothpaste or shampoo, please place them in your luggage and check them with your airline."LuanneComment

We normally get all our oxygen equipment checked over
but when we left San Diego on the 12th of last month, Joyce's wheel chair checked positive for explosives
So, once that happened we had all our bags checked over, and over, still don't know what set it off.

My 80+ year old mother got pulled aside for screening, well not really pulled aside since she was in a wheelchair and needed to be "wanded down" and ended up being part of someone training program. It took forever for them to process her.
