Women, makeup and air travel in modern times
By now you all have heard that air carriers are banning any kind of liquid from luggage destined to board an aircraft. That means that even makeup -- mascara, liquid foundation, hair gel, toothpaste; you name it--it's now forbidden to fly the once friendly skies. Looking at the big picture, and if this situation lasts for a notable duration, models will arrive makeup-less to their points of destination. Does she immediately head off to the mall on a makeup and personal care item shopping spree only to throw it all away upon return flight to her point of origin? What a waste that would be. Will photographers have to develop their own full-array makeup kits? This would be maddening as there are too many choices and just as many personal preferences to differing brands. It would cost a small fortune to be ready for anything. Conversely, MUA's would become busier, but how much busy is too busy? It's bad enough that fuel prices have spiked a rise in transportations costs (I can't justify a trip to see my mother on the ground or in the air -- either way the fees are insane). Add to that the utility of "restocking" one's makeup tool kit for every location, and you might as well shut down the industry now. It's a paradox and one I'd like to see some thoughtful banter about. CHET D.

[see] my entry Aug 13 06 10:29 am Link I do have an extensive makeup kit. But that misses the point. The new rules apply to carryon, not to checked baggage.

Flippin terrorists need to find something better to do than mess up everything. It's so annoying. I know that the Greyhound has also gotten strict about things as well. You can no longer carry on anything with out it all being dumped out and sorted through by an officer. Honestly what has America come to?

Yes, some believe it's for just carry-on bags, but in other reported instances, TSA is removing items from checked baggage too. Depends on the interpretation at respective airports and what they're willing to do. If there is any clear guidance out there, let's find it so our facts are straight. Nonetheless, this just makes travel harder, period. C Aug 13 06 02:39 pm Link all the restrictions apply to CARRY ON / HAND BAGGAGE.. Any of these items can be placed in your hold baggage as normal. Aug 13 06 02:43 pm Link Define normal. Aug 13 06 04:52 pm Link yay! make up station! love that idea. i will be sorry that have to spend the day, car rental return, check in and meal time as well as entire flight time to London soon, with no make up ... as there is nothing to take it OFF with during the 12/15/16 hour ordeal... what if i want to make a impression on somone! i also have a lot of electronic medical equipment for my new disgiostic business and 2 lap tops that i am concerned about insurance/wellbeing in a hold! does anyone know what they are doing with lap tops?
