TIP:: Found Hefty "Travel Bags" at Walmart.

[tjmw2727]

I KNOW about the "other" Ziplock Bags, I just thought it was "neat" that I found "these" bags... I have 100 of the "others" but thought these would be nice to let people know Ziplock has a "special version".....thats all, no biggie.

Ok, then I understand, however you didn't say that in any of your posts. You asked me a question and when I answered you responded in a semi rude and fairly sarcastic manner.

I personally see no reason to purchase a specialy marked bag for flying when any quart size ziplock will do.

Thanks for the heads-up on these I bought them yesterday at my Wal-Mart!! Everyone needs to lighten up poohbear123 was just sharing her find. She didn't stick a gun to your head and say "go purchase these or else". If you'd rather purchase the 200 for $1 so be it!!!

Lighten up, HUH?

I never said people shouldn't get the bags just that you don't have to! I then simply answered her question on Kip Hawley.
What did I get in response from poohbear123 - sarcasm and eye rolling.

I don't know as I read the description I thought this might be USEFUL. The TSA likes things spelled out for them. This meets all the requirements.

Touche - but we probably won't be when the TSA decides to require the bags with the wording.

DH flies more than once and sometimes as many as 3 trips a month and I honestly don't need one more thing to keep track of.

Yes, they look like the "normal" quart size zip lock except they have the words "Hefty OneZip Travel Bags" written on them with a picture of an airplane flying and the words "MEETS AIRPORT SECURITY GUIDLINES" with the large white block that can be used to write on underneath that. Underneath the white block are the words "QUART SIZE"

Thanks Carla. Thats ALL I was trying to do, was "inform" people, but this thread turned into a "why would anyone wanna buy those" and a "this would be better if it had so and so's name on them" kind of thing, glad you can use them. I wouldn't want to bring ANY attention to myself by bringing "sarcastic baggies" thru Security, I am sure the EYE ROLLS would follow me onto the Flight!

Ok ~ peace please. Please bear with me, as unfortunately like a conversation you can't control the responses to your your post.

A few posters took your post and made it into a "why we don't like the TSA, the people and its rules" When they said the baggies would be better if they said "xxxx" they were just expressing frustration with the TSA and what some of us consider arbitrary rules. I was not a part of that but that dosen't matter at this point. They went on to use your post to incude a "what we would like to say to the TSA and Kip Hawely via our baggies" post.

After which you asked a legimate question and I simply informed you of who Kip Hawey was and why someone may choose to write on the baggie.

Hence I feel I became the brunt of your frustration because I told you who he was and that you - and others didn't "need" the TSA baggies if you don't want to buy them. Yes there are cheaper alternatives but I never said it was a bad idea, nor did I mean to imply that I just stated it was not necessary. Yet it was I that received the quote and the sarcastic your welcome and "cute" eye rolling icon.

/Done/

... And we know who the Flytalkers are around here, don't we?

DH has lately been speculating on what would happen if he were to embellish his baggie with the words, "God bless America" -- in Arabic.

I suspect either nothing, because the TSA wouldn't get it, or he'd end up in a cell because they'd overreact. We're talking about the same people who took my shampoo because it wasn't labeled and "it could be anything in there".

FT-er as well.

Just got back from my trip yesterday, and I had my "special Baggie" out, they looked at is as it went thru the X-ray Machine IN the bin, and that was it! On the way back, I checked my Bag. SO, I could have had the bag filled ALL THE WAY to the brim, and as long it was in a baggie and sealed it was OK.
