but when I leave there, ...... the duty free girl always gives me a two for one deal.
A buddy and I had been working in Alexandria Egypt for a month. On the way home my buddy stopped at a gift store about 30 ft from the airport security checkpoint and bought a souvenir spoon for his Mom. We then proceeded through security where they promptly confiscated the spoon. My buddy was upset but got really P.O.ed about 10 minutes later as he watched the guard return the spoon to the shop.
If people get upset enough not to go to Coz this crap will end. Start a boycott Coz month, let the locals know about it and see what happens then. I would bet that things will change.
Maybe you've forgotten, but we had several planes hijacked almost 10 years ago with thousands dead and two iconic buildings (and part of the Pentagon) destroyed as a result. That was from boxcutters, little boxcutters.I agree, but it will never happen because the people in this country have turned into sheep. If they would do the above then they would have already done it when the TSA reaches down their pants, grabs your wives breast, molests your children or makes your grandmother take off her adult diaper causing her to cry and mess herself or making an elderly man get out of his wheelchair, take off his leg brace and try to walk through the X-Ray machine. It is obscene and criminal in my opinion.
All I ever see are the news people interviewing travelers at the airport on the above instances and all I ever hear them say is.. "well if it helps protect us I guess I'm for it". This country is full of scared, sniveling, whimpering sheep that will follow as the government tramples all over our civil rights more and more every day.
ps.. no I am not a tree hugger or survivalist or a member of any other radical group (including the tea party).
That's my two cents.
And you think all those plastic cases will thwart the Cozumel security from taking the batteries? I believe that's what this thread is about.I put all of my cards, thumb drives, batteries, o-ring lube and other assorted small stuff in these nifty pelican 1050 cases that came with my old 02 analyzers. . . . I think the key is that the batteries cannot connect in their case/bag as to cause a connection. YMMV

If the elderly ladies in diapers and babies don't want to be searched, by all means let them stay at home or drive to their destination. Who needs crying babies on a plane anyway?
