since we are going to be flying back to say good-bye to my dad, i decided to check out the latest info on airport passenger screening.
there's a 3-1-1 policy in effect regarding liquids/gels in carry-on luggage. i thought the best blurb was here: http://www.tsa.gov/assets/pdf/311-insert.pdf
permitted and prohibited items are explained here: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm
locks which are allowed on your luggage made by safe skies here: http://www.safeskieslocks.com/
or travel sentry here: http://www.travelsentry.org/products.asp (can be found at the rite-aid right here in our tiny little town.)
i overheard one of the higher ups the other day talking and he said, "the policy is zero-tolerance." so i would suggest we all plan ahead, take a lot of time and bring a good book, stay calm and unruffled, be polite to everyone (especially the tsa people), and of course act intelligently. even if you hate it.

I have this image of airports in 2012--everyone is wearing one of those skimpy hospital robes and scuff slippers and carrying one plastic baggie.
