Just in time to make our last flight more "memorable", the airport security people instituted a new rule for carry-on of liquids and gels. No single container can be larger than 3 oz, all such containers must themselves be placed in a 1 quart clear plastic bag, and the bag must be removed from your carry-on for visual and x-ray inspection.
Now, although the 3 oz size is cited as "readily available at convenience stores" we tried to find toothpaste, pre-shave, hair spray, and deodorant at our local Target and couldn't find anything in that small a size. The best we could do was 3.5 oz. We did find out from experience that you can get by with a half-full 6 oz bottle.
What further new and interesting security hoops will we have to negotiate before we beat the terrorists?
I feel safer already.
