My MiL flew to Love Field here in DFW from Lubbock. She had only her
purse as a carryon, and checked her overnighter in at the gate (she's
staying for a week, but travels light in fact, half of her suitcase
space is reserved for library books she carries to read here!
Anyway, for security reasons, she had the small makeup bag with her
makeup/personal care items removed from her suitcase, likely because
of the nail file and clippers. So these were gone, but so were 3
lipsticks, some medication and other, minor grooming products. We've
been able to replace some of the items, but one of the items taken was
her EL Lipstick All Day Rich & Rosy. We could easily replace the EL
lippie with a trip to Dillard's or Foleys (or gloss.com, if necessary)
but she has expressed interest in replacing the lipstick she's worn for
the past 25+ years with a colortwin in a cheaper brand. Would anyone
in here be familiar enough with EL Rich and Rosy to rec a good
replacement? thxia, kayper
Kayper, I can't help with lipstick colors, but I would suggest that you contact
the Transportation Security Administration. Nail files and nail clippers,
which they deemed as a hazard in her checked luggage (and wtf is up with that?)
are indeed allowablein fact, they're allowable in *carryon* luggage. See
http://www.tsa.gov/public/interapp/tsa_policy/tsa_policy_0010.xml
I would call the airport and ask to speak with the security customer service
person to see about restitution for those items and retraining for the security
personnel.
(I can't imagine why those items were yanked from checked luggage when you can
check knives and swords.)
