Flying Specifications

In order to not have to check a bag, Bob took a small carry-on along with his briefcase. He travels often and know the rules. Or he thought he did.

Tuesday morning a trainee was working the check point. He confiscated Bob's quart size bag and it's liquid contents. The problem was it was not a zip lock but was tied with a twist wire.

So once Bob got to his hotel and checked in, he got directions to the nearest grocery store. He had to buy toothpaste and shaving cream just to get by. He said it cost him about $5 for these. If he'd stayed at a Choice Hotel (like Comfort Inn) they offer free sample size toiletries for their guests but the Hampton had nothing to offer but directions to the Kroger store.

Note that it must be a clear plastic zip lock quart size bag.

'til later
