New flight rules: No toothpaste, shampoo etc in carry ons?
 

Can this be true?

Travel Recommendations for Flights Originating in the United States

Arrive at the airport at least two hours prior to departure for domestic flights and 3.5 hours for international flights
NO LIQUIDS OR GELS OF ANY KIND WILL BE PERMITTED IN CARRY ON BAGGAGE. ITEMS MUST BE IN CHECKED BAGGAGE. This includes all beverages, shampoo, sun tan lotion, creams, tooth paste, perfume, hair gel, and other items of similar consistency. Exception: Baby formula and medicines must be presented for inspection at the checkpoint.
Beverages purchased in the boarding area (beyond the checkpoint) must be consumed before boarding because they will not be permitted on board the aircraft.
Passengers traveling from the U.K. to the U.S. will be subject to a more extensive screening process at the boarding gate.
International passengers be aware that although you may carry laptops, etc. from the United States to the UK, all carry-on luggage is prohibited on flights originating in the UK
Cooperate with security officials and be prepared for security screening
Pack lightly - use clear plastic bags to facilitate faster screening. Review the list of TSA banned items when packing.

Additional Check-in Requirements for Flights Originating in the United Kingdom
All cabin baggage must be processed as checked baggage and carried in the hold of passenger aircraft departing UK airports.

Passengers may take through the airport security search point, in a single (ideally transparent) plastic carrier bag, only the following items:

Pocket size wallets and pocket size purses plus contents (for example money, credit cards, identity cards etc (not handbags));
Travel documents essential for the journey (for example passports and travel tickets);
Prescription medicines and medical items sufficient and essential for the flight (eg, diabetic kit), except in liquid form unless verified as authentic.
Spectacles and sunglasses, without cases.
Contact lens holders, without bottles of solution.
For those travelling with an infant: baby food, milk (the contents of each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger) and sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight (nappies, wipes, creams and nappy disposal bags)
Female sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight, if unboxed
Tissues (unboxed) and/or handkerchiefs
Keys (but no electrical key fobs)
All passengers must be hand searched, and their footwear and all the items they are carrying must be x-ray screened.
Pushchairs and walking aids must be x-ray screened, and only airport-provided wheelchairs may pass through the screening point.

In addition to the above, all passengers boarding flights to the USA and all the items they are carrying, including those acquired after the central screening point, must be subjected to secondary search at the boarding gate. Any liquids discovered must be removed from the passenger. There are no changes to current hold baggage security measures.

I can't wait for my Flight to Amsterdam now!

yeah special aint it !!!

guess they are afraid of mixing chemechals in different tubes to produce fire or something like that. How come I never saw you in miami stranger ??

Hope all is well take care.

I love how we can come up with the most retarded ways to "protect" ourselves with no real reasoning why.

It's their way of saying "Make yourself at home."

Yup bet it has to do with chemicals mixing to form some sort of explosive substance.

damn what a crazy world !!!

Time to order a private jet!

Fuck, I can't fly without my Jack Daniels... Thought this was just temporary rules for flights to and from London though?

Don't you guys watch the news? Seems our friends in the UK busted open some plot to bring down airplanes flying between the US and the UK. Reading the new rules Lens posted above it looks like they looking for something specific.

The reason is, because the latest terrorist planned attacks uncovered today in the UK. The bombers were going to bomb American Airlines, flying between the UK and the US with liquid bombs that would be kept in with hand luggage.

It may be a slight inconvenience not being able to have liquids on board but is still better than being blown up into a million pieces over the Altantic :2 cents:

yeh i agree with you there johny traffic

rising fare prices because of the fuel shortage and now this, I am happy I don't have shares in any airlines!

islam = the religion of peace :thumbsup

Nice on Sept 4th I will be flying back to Budapest Via Heathrow - Well but then again not like I have many Hair products.

However I would like to say that the price of Razor Blades is out of control

thats why is good to have your own plane!

the british suspects were assumed to use liquid explosives

Whatever they want I guess in the name of safety. It's not that big a deal.

Yeah, really. lol

this is UK related only isnt it? Doesnt affect direct US-Holland flights as far as I understood. Unless you got a layover @ Heathrow

Doesnt bother me. I never used shampoo in an airplane :upsidedow

who and why would you brings shampoo on a plane?

dont be stupid guys
this tighter security will become standard now that they came up with this liquid explosives shit
this has nothing to do with just uk us connections or something

cause the anal lube for my gf draws too much attention

This means attempts at the Mile High Club will have to be self-lubricating. :(

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

I was thinking the same thing.

The only thing that bums me is no books or magazines are on that list. I hope they start selling some on board because I need something to read on a long flight. That said,I will deal with it.

Scare the sheep. Scare the sheep. :1orglaugh

This is a ban on ALL US flights not just flights between the US - UK. It will become the norm from here on out as the terrorists were planning to use liquid nitroglycerin stored in drinks or runny foods (baby food for one).

For US - UK flights you are not allowed any carry on luggage right now.

As long as I can still use my laptop then I have no problem with the rules.. But no book or mag's thats really going to suck on long flights.

I'm going to have to make sure we always fly west jey so we can at least watch tv or something.

in and outbound?

lessee... so it's okay if it blows up as long as it's not a carry-on? and i suppose they have what it takes to check all baggage for liquid explosives?

i don't want to be blown into a million pieces but on the other hand, very recent tests showed that people who helped run the tests had no problem getting lighters and other contraband items onto planes.

grab some DVDs to watch on your laptop, most planes have outlets, thats what I do, so you dont have to watch the 1000s rerun of scooby do

No electricle items at all. This includes, IPODS, phones laptops, key fobs etc etc.

Only wallets, documents, baby food and medications that are needed in the flight.

Lap tops have to go in with the luggage

all the more reason to just hitchhike whereever you need to go

no cologne??? I needs to smell good!!

I think you will find these new rules will be taken on board by ALL aircraft entering the US


Your Homelands security people were blaming Al-Quieda within a few hours (agaiin)

boy you have some great detectives over there.....
