when i was working as a flight attendant last year there were always the same people working at crew security and every single day they let me through for my flights with my mac studio fix fluid foundation (its either 100ml or less than that) which was in one of those sealed liquids bag we're allowed and i had blot powder in my bag as well and after about 2 months of letting me through with them one day they searched my bag and told me they were confiscating them!! i was like wtf, you've let me through with them for the past few months and now you're randomly going to take them off me!! i was so angry, i had a nightstop downroute that night as well for which i had no foundation and no foundation or powder for my flight the next day. makes me angry just thinking about it! they can just decide to take things whenever they want apparently grrr, i was the only female crew on my flight the next day and in order to look passable and not scare the passengers lol i had to borrow some tinted moisturiser from one of the male crew and his bronzer lol.
also earlier this year when i was still crew there was something wrong with the plane we were working on when we were in belfast and we had to fly back down to london as passengers on an easy jet flight. so we had to go through security in our uniforms with other passengers, i had my airport id on and was with one of the captains. anyway we were running a bit late for our flight and they decide to search my bag at security, which is fair enough. i told the woman we were running a bit late and needed to be quick. anyway she then decided she wanted to check all of my liquids in my sealed liquid bag for explosives!!!! so she did that and then she took everything out of my bag and scanned everything in my bag and the empty bag to check to see if id been near explosives in the last 24 hours. of course all of her checks were negative, i missed my flight and she randomly confiscated my lip balm out of my liquids bag and left everything else in there. i had to wait 10 hours by myself for another flight.
security people annoy me so much sometimes! theyre really inconsistent.
one day i forgot i had a bottle of water in my bag and perfume samples which arent allowed and no one said anything at crew security! i realised i had them in my bag when we had taken off. i dont understand why one day i get my powder taken off me and then next day i can get through with a big bottle of water!
