Six Security Rules TSA Sometimes Forgets (or Ignores)

Standing in the airport security line is stressful enough. But what do you do when the agency entrusted with securing our skies actually forgets its own rules? It happens more often than you think. Here's a primer on the six security protocols the TSA most often overlooks.

Yawn.

When buying travel-sized bottles, try to make sure the volume is clearly marked on the outside to eliminate any confusion.

TRY? How about just *do*. I don't bring anything in my baggie that doesn't have the volume clearly marked.

Similarly, not all agents appear to be enforcing another element of the same rule: The TSA isn't likely to call a bag search on you even if you forget to take your baggie of liquids out of your suitcase, as long as your liquid containers appear small enough. (Likewise if you have something like liquid makeup or a gel deodorant that you forgot to put in your liquids bag.)

So it's a good thing when they forget a rule that benefits us, but baaaad when they forget a rule that doesn't?
