But is there a tiny upside for women with sexy feet? First, you get to take off heels that might have been killing you. Second, you’re likely shorter than most guys. And third, it’s a chance to show off your pedicure.

What do you say?

It’s the best part of going through security for me, to observe womens feet. I think some of the security guys get into this jobjust for this purpose!

The most convenient place for me to put the tampons is in my purse, and I don’t have an unopened box to put in my suitcase.
So does airport security care how many are there?
I feel really stupid for asking this question, so thanks to anyone who replies.

No, there is no limit, take as many as you feel you will need. I have taken a whole box of tampons in my carry-on without issue.

No. They don’t want you to have large bottles of liquids, and no sharp objects–but I’ve never heard of a problem with tampons.

You do not mention the country from which you are leaving – which may make a difference. It is the federal rules about departure screenings that determines what gets past the security check point – not the airline itself.

For US departures you CAN take food from home. I have done it many times and have <<never>> had a problem. What you are taking are all fine and there should not be any difficulties.

I have taken sandwiches of various sorts, including PB&J, and deli meat/cheese sandwiches, fruit (banana, apples, oranges, grapes), packaged snacks like granola bars and chips, and crackers from home just tossed into a sandwich bag.

The things you want to avoid are items such as pudding, yogurt, jello or anything that has a similar consistency. Drinks, of course, are something that you would buy after going past security, but you can bring an empty water bottle with you and fill it from a drinking fountain after the check point, if water is satisfactory for you.

Then of course, avoid things that are messy, drippy, difficult to eat in cramped quarters, or might be smelly or distasteful to your fellow travelers (lots of onions, garlic odoriferous cheeses).

I know a few people personally who claim they are nauseated by the smell of things like Cheez-Its and Cheetos, but those happen to be among snacks that I like, so I ignore them if they object. There is no accounting for the preference of some people :-)

Have a good flight.

When I’m passing through airport security, will the metal detector alarm go off if I’m wearing the extensions?

And, if the alarm does go off, will they make me take out my extensions?

Thanks!

I was just wondering this too! I am leaving tomorrow for Florida and I want to wear my clip-in extensions as well! Hope it worked out for you though!

Okay, first you take of your shoes/belt, and put them in a bin, you also take out your clear ziploc bag that containers your liquids, and put it in a bin, you also put all your electronics (phone, iPod, laptop etc.) and put them in a bin, you also put your luggage across, then you walk through a scanner-type thing.

It is very unlikely that the detector will beep. People wear rings, jewelry, have metal in the buttons of jeans and so on – and go through with no trouble.

Eve if it did, they would just run the hand wand over you to make sure that it was only that item causing the beep.

I was wondering how the wearing of these garments affects the way that airport security operates. Sources appreciated.

it is because they were big stuff and its easy to conceal bombs underneath. Remember all suicide bombings are done by muslims and these days women are playing a big role in it too. its nothing discriminatory, its not even stigma but what they have done to society over the decades.

The clothing therefore negatively affects the security of not only airports and airplanes but of every place they go.

What sort of atrocity or idiotic move would I have to do to get airport security to give me an full anal cavity search?
I’m not looking for imprisonment, just a cavity search.

You could always stuff a balloon or condom stuffed with something metal in your anus. Nuts and washers would set off the metal detector but not be illegal.
Good luck explaining why you put them there.

We have a leapfrog Tag Pen and a few books that our kids can read electronically. We would like to bring this along our trip as a carry on. I have called TSA airport security and they said that they do not know what this is and that I would have to arrive at the airport to determine if it is consider a sharp object also I called Leapfrog and they said they do not know the airline policies. Has anyone ever travelled with this and would the airlines in Europe or USA consider this as a sharp object.

It is just a big pen like thing, right – at least from what I see on a website. Thousands of people travel every day with pens and pencils – I know that I do.

This is not much different. I do not think there will be a problem.
