Beverages purchased airside banned from carry-on?
I bought a bottle of water after screening while waiting to leave on a
flight from Rangoon. It was confiscated when I moved 50 feet to the gate. Burma does not follow TSA rules. A different complaint is that of passengers with a stop over who buy expensive booze duty free in one country and forget that they have a change of planes which may require additional screening. I saw a young man get very agitated when his bottle of Patron purchased at duty free in Honolulu was confiscated as he changed planes in Manial en route to Bangkok. wrote in message ... 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. |

Once, when I got a patdown, I made pleasurable noises (quiet ahhhs and moans). The TSA guy got really upset, and on the basis of my appearing to enjoy the experience, he threatened to have me arrested and permanently banned from flying. I take this to mean that he intended that screening be unpleasant. and he was frustrated at failing this time. From what I can tell you're expected to enjoy it a little, but not too much. Naturally neither boundary is consistently defined or enforced. A most odd system. -- It's always darkest before dawn.

I know, but when you pay US$125 for a nice bottle of XO you really don't want it confiscated by airport security. Chris |

You are a deeply sad person. How so? I do the same thing. I save empty 50 ml bottles of liquor and re-fill them at home and bring them with me when I fly. Sometimes 4 of them at a time. I always get them past screening with no questions or issues. |

And also isn't there a rule by the airlines (not TSA) that all liquor consumed in the cabin must have been supplied by the carrier? |
