A PlaneBusiness Banter subscriber who is a flight attendant with a major airline checks in with his account of how things are going this morning:

Subject: It sucks at the airport this AM

Unbelievable!!

There is no distinction between domestic and international, everyone is being told to toss ANY iquid/gel, including toothpaste, perfume/cologne,
contact solution, hair products.

There is no distinction between passengers and crewmembers. All are being told to take off their shoes and toss their items. What happened to being a “certified”, “background checked” crewmember????

On the positive side, I have a turn line this month, meaning I was only carrying a backpack anyway, as I’m home every day.

Just ugly, and I don’t feel a bit safer, in a tube full of pissed off passengers.

Have a great day!!!!

Oh, yes, you too!
