Actually, I was just trying to understand the situation. Sorry if I in any way was discourteous. I was astonished that this issue was news to anyone, particularly with l the lavish coverage of the London ban on all carry ons, and similar extreme reactions here. The complaints from flyers about confiscation of eyedrops, breast milk, sun block, mask defogger, etc, were highly publicized and the TSA compromise of quart sized ziplocks and 3 oz size limits has gotten a lot of repetitive coverage.
Another issue for me is one that I had no business inflicting on anyone else, so again I apologize. I teach young adults, and it's sometimes very depressing to witness their utter ignorance regarding the world in which they live, and their lack of concern about that ignorance. Very, very few read newspapers or books, and most of the 'news' they focus on has to do with entertainers. This is extremely disheartening, especially when you consider that they are allowed to vote and produce children of their own.
In connection with air travel rules, it should be interesting about 7 weeks from now, when people possessing only birth certificates and picture IDs show up in airports expecting to board flights to the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada, etc.
