Beverages purchased airside banned from carry-on?
Are there any rules that say drinks purchased airside cannot be
brought on board? Should passengers generally be aware of this prohibition? Or does this only apply to nonalcoholic beverages purchased from the airside vendors, while the clearly flammable liquors and performs purchased from the duty-free shops are allowed? When we boarded our ICN to SFO flight, we were told that the US government (presumably the TSA) had reached across the Pacific Ocean demanded an additional security screening at the Seoul airport. Many people had the drinks that they had purchased airside confiscated. Everyone claimed that they thought these beverages, some still in sealed packages, were allowed with their carryon luggage. At the same time, other passengers were allowed to add their duty-free purchases to things they carried on board; most of these contained alcohol and clearly were hazardous materials. If clearly hazardous liquids were allowed in large quantites, why would they prohibit liquids that were probably innocuous? How would they react to mother’s milk or baby formula? This kind of arrogance coupled with the obviously illogical and inconsistent application of some secret rules can only reinforce the TSA’s well-earned reputation. |
