Side note: want to see an interesting facial expression?

When the TSA guy asks you if you have any liquids or gels to declare (yes, you have to 'declare' them now- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FASCISM EEEEEE whatever, I'm too tired for this crap), tell him you're carrying solid shampoo and solid conditioner.

Their faces do this 'are you funning with me, ma'am?' thing that I think they learned from Kermit the Frog.



EDIT: I did not do this to tease the TSA guy. I had solid shampoo in a metal tin in my bag and two pieces of solid conditioner in a Ziploc bag. I was offering to show the shampoo to the guy on the chance that the X-ray tech would want to to know what was in the tin.

The liquids thing makes me very annoyed, honestly. Mostly because I'm quite aware that one can get a liquid in there with no real effort.

Viva LUSH.

I read an article today where the TSA man said, in all seriousness, to a passenger:

You can keep the chips.
You can keep the chili.
But I am gonna have to keep the salsa.
