Therapy is expensive, bubble wrap is cheap.

It's a 311 thing. 3 ounces in 1...1 quart bag. No liquids people! Unless it's a 3 ounce bottle or tube, all in one, one quart baggie.

Yes, Rance, but isn't that rule just for one's carry on?? I thought full size bottles could be checked in the main baggage??

You are correct! Only applies to carry on!

I thought so, I'd just packed up a few months back to travel, and put all my full size Lancombe, and Elizabeth Arden products in my checked in bag. They all arrived safe and sound.

So you see why I say 'sticky fingers'. Philosophy lotion can be pricey. If that were the only thing taken from Met's luggage, that's what I'd be thinking.

Now speaking only for myself, I think I'd bring it to someone's attention, upon my return flight that something was purloined.

I had the worst event happen shortly after 9/11 when all the new 'random searches' went into effect. I was waiting to board my flight in Charlotte NC, for NYC, and had my laptop computer's bag by the strap over my shoulder. I could not use the regular handle, as it was damaged and ready to break. (never buy Wilson leathers) Anyhow, as my row was called, the 'random inspector' suddenly hollers, 'Ma'am, ma'am! Over here please, come along!' So I stepped over, and she wanted to inspect the 'bag that you refuse to set down'. As I took it from my shoulder, I tried to tell her that the handle was not in good shape, and to please take it by its shoulder strap. She completely ignored me, grabbed the handle of the bag, and (you guessed it) it broke, and the laptop went crashing to the floor. "Oh, dear" she says, "I hope this isn't something important."

Luckily for her, it was not damaged. I was NOT amused. Not in the slightest.
