Airport Security took ALL my hair products

[AnitaTheLengths]

Yep, security jacked me and DH of all of our hair care products and his cologne because he checked the wrong bag. He was tiiiiight! So on the way back we packed each suitcase with bottles and bottles of liquor between our clothes, and brought a super secret stash of local plants/fruit into the country! It was worth it. Mangos taste TOTALLY different grown in the rainforest. I could see the customs people sitting back in the cut eating the stuff - ha! They didn't get mine! I'm a rebel - I broke the law

Security threw out my unused bottle of vickies secret lotion and I was highly upset.

If I had some hardcore products ... I would have had to catch another flight..

Sorry this happened to you OP

This is why I put all my beauty products in the bag I'm checking, they are really strict about the 3 oz thing.

I have flown maybe 8 times in the last year or so and I have NEVER gotten anything confiscated. I just keep it in my luggage and don;t say nothing. I have had lotions, perfumes, even a bottle of body splash in my purse and got through check point.

Well when they run ask you to put your purse and your hand luggage on the conveyor belt in a plastic container, and run it through that little contraption, it picks up "moisture" and shows the shape of the container. I guess you just got what they call 'lucky', so far.

That sucks. I think everyone gets caught in that at least once.

I had to give up my Shikai poo & condish last April and the agent refused to let me check my bag when I went back to the ticket counter. The fedex drop off was so far away that I would have missed my flight if I tried to ship it....so I tossed it into the bin with all the other customers items.

I saw a woman toss a new bottle of bulgari lotion a couple of weeks ago. I felt so bad for her and she looked really upset.

One coworker told me that she carries a fedex envelope & label with her just in case she has to ship something.
