So the lady made us wait for a few minutes while my daughter, who is 14 and hasn’t been on a plane since she was 4, started getting freaked out. Then she finally got her bag and opened it and searched it very thoroughly while asking us about whether or not she had any sharp objects.
She dresses punky despite loving Hello Kitty and she packed some spiked jewelry, so we thought maybe that was it.
It was not.
It was her deodorant.
The lady pulled out her deodorant, took it over to some special station where she did some sort of chemical analysis, and then gave it back and told us to zip up her case and leave.
Thanks for protecting the airport from dangerous deodorant, TSA! Great job!
Okay, what else can be hidden in a bar of deodorant? Do you think people are packing it with C4 or something? I’m not even sure how that would work.
For the record, C4 is a putty. You’d just mold it like a piece of play-doh.
Plenty of other very dangerous things easily smuggled all sorts of ways. Get creative (but seriously DON’T).
