There are women, due to their religious beliefs, that are not allowed to wear pants. They wear skirts, as specified by TSA rules and regulations in the uniform policies.

The first time I had to fly under the new rule of your liquids in a clear zip lock, my wife had put them in a gallon clear zip lock.

He then got past security again when he took a connecting flight from there to New York City, and he even kept the monkey out in the open mid-flight."....the problem with that report is that it fails to mention that TSA does not conduct security protocols before boarding a USA-bound flight in Peru, where the flight originated. Peruvian security (as any other country) is responsible in preventing the offending monkey from getting aboard the aircraft. (I wonder what P.E.T.A. thinks about it.) Once the flight landed on Fort Lauderdale, Fla., it is ASSUMED by the readers (reporter?) that the passenger LEFT (stepped out of) the STERILE area of the terminal, which would require the traveling passenger to go thru the CHECKPOINT again. If the passenger came to the United States from an international flight, it most likely required him to go thru Customs, and then again thru the TSA passenger CHECKPOINT into the sterile area, to continue his flight to New York. I seriously doubt the passenger relocated the monkey into a body cavity to keep it from being seen by Customs/TSA security screeners. I could only imagine the cataclysmic reactions of the passengers if they had to submit to a body cavity search every time they fly. By the way, in case Mrs. Malking didn't notice, the amount of TSA personnel hired for security at airports, is directly proportional to the amount of a Congress-approved budget. It equates to EFFICIENCY/EFFECTIVENESS by the performing screeners.
