So Annoyed at Chase Right Now

[FayeW]

From what I can see she must like to complain a lot. Cause she was just posted about the liquid at the airport which was handed back to her, which was over the size limit, but yet again she is complaining.

Then she is complaining about not being asked for extra ID when she uses her credit card. Again, that would be an ideal way for someone else to use her card. Their fake signature on the fake card. Ideal.

As said I don't see why she is complaining so much and why she is so upset?

Sounds like you are complaining about the OP complaining! What gives?

Simply stating some facts. Move on. Don't start anything.

I don't get the whole point in people putting Check ID on their card instead of signing. I'm trying to think of how many times I've used my credit card recently and someone has actually looked at the signature. I've charged airline tickets, no one at Southwest ever checks the card. Disney hotel - pre-checked in and entered a credit card. They never checked a signature. Smaller charged - swipe the card and that is the end of it. I can't remember the last time a cashier has actually looked at the back of my card!

I think you're just missing the point I'm trying to make.

What's the point of having "security" if they don't enforce it?

And "so upset," no, just slightly annoyed at the time.

But your post sounded like you yourself didn't understand the 100ml/3.4 US oz rule? That is why I tried to explain it and suggested looking at the www.tsa.gov site - it really is informative for inexperienced travellers and will help them to understand what is permitted.

Hopefully you found the link helpful for your next flight.

I did know what the rules were. If you reread my post it says that I had just been packing in a hurry, and hadn't looked to see how many ounces it was.

That was my mistake, and I was glad to get it back, but I think there are rules for a reason, and they should be enforced.

I didn't push it, since I didn't want to cause a scene, especially at the airport, and I knew it was just lotion / and it was my credit card, but I think that when there are policies in place, they should always be followed.

I understand what you're saying: since there were policies in place, they should have followed their policies and thrown out your lotion instead of letting you keep it, and they should have denied your big purchase instead of letting it go through. Right? You would rather be inconvenienced than have them make an exception for you.

I understand what you're saying, I just don't think many people would feel that way...we would appreciate the tsa agent/credit card person being reasonable and allowing an exception for a customer. Since you don't, next time, refuse to go through with your purchase and throw out your lotion! Problem solved, and you won't be annoyed.

 

[allison443]

Did you ever find out what happened to the credit card that was sent to your parents' house?

I think it's better to be inconvienienced for stuff like that, especially when it's a matter of security.

I also think that too many people are used to being able to get around rules and policies like that, that they expect "special treatment." I think if there was a more strict "no exceptions" rule enforced, it would cause a lot less problems.

Like I said, I knew it was my credit card and that I wasn't trying to sneak anything dangerous on the plane with my lotion, but what if they were that careless with everyone?

Sooner or later, and unfortunatly with ways I've seen the general public act, my guess would be sooner, people will take advantage of it, and then it'll cause major problems for all involved.

I just hate when people make a big deal about stuff, but then allow it anyway. Seems to make everything completely pointless.

The same thing happened at MCO when I was flying home. I had bought a bottle of lotion in Disney that was half an ounce over the allowed size.

I'm usually very careful of the sizes of stuff I keep in my carry-on, and make sure everything's "legal." But I had bought this there, didn't think to check the size, was in a hurry that morning since I had waited until the last minute to pack, and just threw it in the ziploc baggie with all my other toiletries.

Anyway, at the airport, the security guy pulled it out, and really belittled me, with "what size is allowed?" and then when I looked at it, and saw it was in fact .5 ounces over the 3 ounce limit.
I said sorry I hadn't noticed, and fully expected him to just toss it, but instead he put it back in the bag.

If it was such a big deal to be so rude to me, and make such a huge deal over, why give it back instead of just tossing it?

Just wanted to add that I find this very hard to believe.

I've never had any security guard do more than glance at my zip loc of carry on liquids. Furthermore-Orlando's airport is a figgin zoo & cant imagine a guard slowing things up to yell at someone for a half of an once.

So why did you not then throw out the lotion and walk out of the store without your purchase. That is what you wanted them to do to so why did you then not do it for them?

But again, the rule is NOT 3.0 US oz, it is 3.4 US oz. Again, www.tsa.gov will tell you the rules, and 100ml is allowed, which equates to 3.4 US oz.

If you were 0.1 US oz over that is less that 3ml over. People do have the ability to make decisions based on discretion. Apparently the agent decided to permit you to pass, even though you may have been marginally over the allowable limit.

I think that most people would be grateful for the kindness and the leeway, even if they were at fault for not knowing or conciously not obeying the rules.

Why waste perfectly good lotion after it's already through security? That wouldn't of proven anything.

Well that's what happened. I'm suprised he noticed as well since it was a little bottle, and fit in the quart-size bag so easily.

Actually what they asked me was my birthday. IMO, that's not that difficult to find out.

But unless the person using the card had stolen your wallet, or is someone who knows you, it's not information that would be readily available; nor would it be information they would just rattle off, i.e. "11/03/09" vs stumbling, guessing, or even saying, "Um, hold on... um, it', uh, November 3, 2009".

Well, let's see... I once had a TSA person at, um, MCO I guess look at my quart bag very closely - because I happened to be fortunate enough to have 100 ml bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Granted, she didn't pull them or say anything, but this was not long after the 3.4 ounce limit was made public.

Then there was the MCO TSA person who, while I was being hand-inspected (because either my leg or my bra hooks set off the scanner) noticed a problem with something in my luggage and ASKED for permission to open it - which of course I granted - and who found the bottle of water I meant to throw out

I'd be impressed if anyone told me that their birthday was 3 November 2009 - whether they rattled it off or stumbled

But then, I'm a poopyhead (or is that another thread? I get so confused)

Well, a true poopyhead would have made it over to the Airline Etiquette thread which is hiding on the Community Board. But I think that we can make an exception for you and add you to the list - we're nice that way!
