TSA Busts me with 4.5 oz Sunscreen

If traveling all the way back to South Carolina to go get my cat (who disappeared and apparently suffers from seperation anxiety), I got busted with liquid at the airport!

I was kind enough to put my ALL NATURAL, “granola girl” type sunscreen in a clear plastic baggy ( as we are all told to do so) and placed it visibly in a bin to go through screening. BIG MISTAKE. I had a feeling just to chuck it into my bags and not worry about it, but I went OUT of my way to show them the scandalous “liquid/creme” I was carrying.

The TSA guy picked it up and read the 4.5 oz on the side (wow he reads) and told me I could mail it if i wanted to, because it was1.5 oz TOO MUCH. Because you can apparently build a MUCH bigger bomb with 1.5 oz of all natural, untampered with, hippy sunscreen (that’s good for the earth as well as my face).

If he actually looked at it instead of racial profiling me ( yep, white girls are notorious for bombing, especially Irish American “granola girls” from the sweet South) he would see that 1.5 oz had already been used. That leaves me with right around 3 oz.

I said, ” This is crazy!” 

The reply: ” What’s crazy is that you’re trying to take 4.5 oz of liquid on board a plane!”

Ops, my bad.
