So the lady made us wait for a few minutes while my daughter, who is 14 and hasn’t been on a plane since she was 4, started getting freaked out. Then she finally got her bag and opened it and searched it very thoroughly while asking us about whether or not she had any sharp objects.
She dresses punky despite loving Hello Kitty and she packed some spiked jewelry, so we thought maybe that was it.
It was not.
It was her deodorant.
The lady pulled out her deodorant, took it over to some special station where she did some sort of chemical analysis, and then gave it back and told us to zip up her case and leave.
Thanks for protecting the airport from dangerous deodorant, TSA! Great job!
Yeah - this is infuriating. I flew today and went to take out my laptop & tablet - I had packed them in my bag so that it would be an easy move.
She started barking at me not to do that. So I asked about shoes. “I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t mean it.”
Goddamn lady. You just had to say yes.
