The Evil Pregnant Woman and her “Prohibited” Flight Item
While travelling with my super sized tummy, courtesy of il bambino, I was screamed at by airport security. He came running over screaming “YOU HAVE A PROHIBITED ITEM IN YOUR BAG!” The woman next to me looked me up and down and said “but she looks so innocent!” The angry security officer reached into my bag and pulled out the prohibited item, which was not lighter fluid, WD-40, or even fireworks. It was a lonely bottle of Teddy Bear honey that I drink with my tea. Clearly I’m going to hell.

It’s probably only prohibited because of the fluid ounces inside…not the fact that it was honey all on its own.

… first ring of hell. the second ring is reserved for those that use bleached sugar in their tea.

Nice… make an example of the pregnant lady.
Airports are so inconsistent about checking this. Did they give you a hard time in ATL when you flew out? I have flown through DCA several times forgetting to separate my liquid items in my carry-on and no one has so much as batted an eyelash. And I have also gotten half-empty, obviously used tubes of lip gloss confiscated from me in San Francisco because they weren’t in the standard 1-quart bag.

That’s the whole problem, there’s no consistency so everyone is confused, including TSA agents.
