And here's what looks like the first possible alert;

Quote:

US airport in 'liquid bomb' alert An airport in Huntington, West Virginia has been evacuated after explosives tests on two containers in a female passenger's luggage came up positive. The containers were spotted in the woman's hand bag and subjected to swab tests and sniffer dog examinations, both of which gave positive results.

Full story

We'll just have to wait and see how this pans out.

Laguardia confiscated my l/g...

I have flown quite a bit this month, starting a couple of days before this whole "liquid explosives" fiasco (I actually flew the day the story broke). Flew to NYC last Sunday with my little makeup satchel in my purse as usual, it contains Blot Powder, a couple of lipsticks, lip brush, a l/l, Lip Prep and Prime, and one l/g. No problem. On the way home today, however, the TSA folks at Laguardia confiscated the last little bit of my "Light My Fire" l/g

-- did I mention that this is my all-time fave MAC l/g (yes, I'd been hoarding it)? When I told them that I'd been flying all month with this satchel and l/g in tact the TSA lady told me that the other airports I went through "hadn't been doing their job". Oh well, I'd rather make this sacrifice in the name of safety.

Other than that, all liquids/gels, etc. still must be in checked baggage. SOLID lip products are ok. Glosses are not (depending upon which airport you're at and who is checking, but your best bet is to check these). I could have saved my l/g by checking it if I had known it was going to be an issue (since it hadn't been up until today, and I've been through 4 other airports besides Laguardia this month since all of this started!).

I was at London's Heathrow airport on Thursday and they definitely still do not allow any form of cosmetics (liquid or solid) in carry on luggage. No lip balms, no hand creams, no mascara, no lipsticks, nothing. The signs were clearly posted and I was amazed, given the level of publicity the changes have had, that so many people were still trying to take banned items into the plane. There were a couple of airport staff walking up and down the line before security and they had bags full of cigarette lighters, food and makeup.

You can see the current UK regulations here and more detailed information (in pdf format) here

The current TSA regulations show that lipglosses are still a banned item - details here

Hmm, my guess is that the rules are a little different for domestic flights (within the U.S.), because you can most certainly take ALL your stuff as long as it's in your *checked* baggage and they do allow solid forms of cosmetics in your carry on (lipstick, chapstick, powder, etc.). No wonder there's so much confusion, the rules are being interpreted differently in various airports!

i have checked the BAA and TSA sites for update info on regulations regarding EYESHADOWS (since all anyone seems interested in is l/g, l/l, e/l, etc and i am not actually taking any of that *with* me...) but i can't find anything. I'm also worried about checking and powdered e/s. half of what i own is in powder/pigment form, so if anyone has any actual experience carrying that kind of stuff on board RECENTLY or checking it safely (i don't want them rifiling through and throwing things out of my checked luggage when i'm not there to do anything about it because they don't know the difference between Anthrax and powdered e/s, y'know... ) LMK, pretty please.

I'm flying from LAX to Heathrow on Sept 5th, YAY!

doublepost, sorry

As of today, 27th August 2006, You are definitely not allowed any cosmetics of any form (whether they are powder, gel or liquid) on flights out of the UK. The pdf file with the full regulations is available here. I am not sure what measures apply to flights originating in the USA flying into the UK but think it's better not to risk getting your makeup confiscated so check it.

 

[calliestar]

Does anyone have any information regarding flights within the US? Over the Christmas holiday I am supposed to be flying from San Antonio, Texas to Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina to visit a cousin. I'll definately check all of my luggage, but have they been throwing away powders and/or cosmetics in general from checked bags in the US? Has any flown out of either airports since this all started, and if so, what was your experience like? I'd just like all of the information I can possibly get as early as possible so I don't have to worry about it when the time comes. I have a feeling that things aren't going to be totally quieted down by then, and since Christmas is SUCH a major traveling holiday anyway, I'm definately worried about what it's going to be like.

Yes, the TSA rules are here

 

[xstephax]

i know information has been posted about flights within the US and UK and what you can and can't bring into your hand luggage, but what about flights from canada to the US? is it safe to assume the rules would be similiar to flights within the US?

i've been trying to find information on it but i can only seem to find stuff based on the US or UK.

i was just curious as i'm flying out of canada next month to the US for a vacation and i'm hoping i'll be allowed to carry on most of my make up related products (of course the non-liquids)

 

[caffn8me]

The Canadian rules on what can be carried on a plane are here and ici en Français. I think that if you're flying between two countries you have to work on the basis that you must comply with the rules of both countries so if an item is banned in one country but permitted in the other, don't have it in your carryon. This should avoid problems for you.

thank you! i will definitely check it, i just hope nothing happens to it in the checked luggage...sometimes they throw out suspicious looking powders and i don't wnat that happening to my pigments or powdered e/s, y'know? i guess i'll just have to ask about if when i check in.

 

[caffn8me]

I doubt they'd confuse properly packaged M·A·C pigments and powders for anthrax (or cocaine!) so you should be OK.

 

[Macnarsandlove]

If your traveling....

Hi everyone I didn't see any other topics posted about this (probaly missed it) but this is for anyone that plans on flying soon. I heard that with the new travel restrictions you cant bring these items (per tsa website):
The following items are prohibited:

All creams and lotions including Neosporin or first-aid creams and ointments, topcial or rash creams and ointments, suntan lotions, moisturizers, etc.
Bug sprays
Bubble bath including gel or liquid filled bubble bath balls or bath oils or moisturizers
Gel deodorants
Gel cap type pills
Hair styling gels
Hair sprays of all kinds including aerosol
Nail polishes,
Hair straightener or detangler
Lip gels, glosses or liquids
Liquid foundations
Liquid sanitizers
Liquid soaps
Make up removers or facial cleansers
Mascara
Mouthwash
Nail polish and removers
Perfumes or colognes
Toothpaste

that means it time to load up chapstick and be sure to follow these rules or your $14 lipglass will go down the drain (literaly).
