TSA updates airport security policy
In the seemingly never-ending saga of airport security measures, TSA today announced that, as of tomorrow, you can bring “travel-sized” toiletries on board, along with liquids you buy at the gate (Link is here). You do have to put your mini cosmetics in a zipped plastic bag, which they’ll X-ray separately from your laptop, shoes, and whatever else you might want to bring on the plane. Hmm, I bet the concessionaires are thrilled, along with plastic-bag manufacturers. I wonder if they’ll be supplying the bags?
In other travel news, did you know that one way to keep your valuables from disappearing from checked luggage is to also pack a starter pistol? Read all about it here.

Bruce is right on - airlines go out of their way to make sure firearms get priority handling and that also includes secure handling and tracking. Geez, you don’t have to go further than the post about losing my son’s bags but his rifle made it without a hitch.

My name is Victor Cox and I am the CEO of Never Check It (www.nevercheckit.com). As a frequent business traveler who has always carried on my bag, I was perplexed on what to do about the new restrictions.
In order to continue to carry on my bag, I have introduced a free service that allows travelers to pre-order toiletries and other banned items before they fly. This will ensure that travelers will be able to carry-on luggage, which will save valuable time, money, and help alleviate the stress associated with travel.
I am not sure how long the restrictions will last, but for now, I will continue to carry-on my bag and pre-order my toiletries before I fly.
