TSA promotes the mile high club
Niel Gaiman directed me to the TSA website with the following observation:
Quote:
I have just read the TSA list of permitted and prohibited items in full.
Toothpaste is out.
Hairgel is out.
"Topical or rash creams" are out.
Lip gels are out.
Shampoos and conditioners are out.
Personal lubricants are... just fine.
I blink. I find I'm suddenly unsure whether or not that means exactly what I'm certain it does mean, so I google "personal lubricants" and yes, it's talking about exactly what I think it's talking about. Up to 4 oz. of personal lubricants are just fine.... practically the only liquid you can take with you onto a plane.

I went to double check, and sure enough:
Quote:
To ensure the health and welfare of certain air travelers the following items are permitted.- Small amounts of Baby forumula 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 medications including saline solution, eye care products and KY jelly
- Gel-filled bras and similar prosthetics (Ed: hahahahahahahahaha)
- Gel-filled wheelchair cushions
- Life support and life sustaining liquids such as bone marrow, blood products, and transplant organs carried for medical reasons
You are permitted to bring solid cosmetics and personal hygiene items as such lipstick, lip balm and similar solids. Please remember these items must be solid and not liquid, gel or aerosol.
