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 allowable––in 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.)

is searched with the wand Every suitcase is opened, and the contents are
checked. In other cities
this is not the case. In MT I asked about files and crochet hooks and was
told it was fine to carry them.
They have greater concerns about the amount of weapons people take with them
for their hunting trips.
In MT my suitcases were checked closed and the handpainted saw we brought
home was not a problem.
I don't think it would have made it out of the Fresno airport. Salt Lake is
another airport with stricter
rules than SF or Washington/Dulles.

But I just don't understand this. They *take* things away? And don't give
them back?? I've had to check swiss army knives in certain high–security
buildings, but I always got them back.
My internal self–righteousness is recoiling in horror.

Back onto topic though. . I would recommend taking the MiL shopping to
an Ulta or close "good" drugstore. Have her check out Revlon and
L'oreal and see what she likes. . .She'd be able to pick the color
better than anyone, or even find a new color that she likes.

space is reserved for library books she carries to read here!

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 color–twin in a cheaper brand. Would anyone

replacement? thxia, kayper

Rosa I have found some close replacements. On the Rich and Rosy I
have not been so lucky. I have taken the tube to the store and felt
that I found a close match and got home put it on and within one hour
it was obvious that it was just....different and slightly orange. At
least it appeared to be on me more than once. Plus the EL stays on the
lips nicely. I would love to hear if anyone has any suggestions and
how the replacement works on your MIL. Please post the results!
