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!
Why act like such a victim? Doesnt sound that bad. My 10 year old daughters stuff got searched 2 weeks ago for some squishy thing she had, dude said he couldn’t tell the difference between it and an explosive on the scanner, took less than 10 mins to search her stuff and have us on our way.
I didn’t come on here and make a whiny post, it’s part of travelling.
You may not have noticed, but this community is called “mildly infuriating,” not “I am a victim and this is intolerable.” For more information, please see the sidebar.
