Were you flying out of Orlando International? Were they opening unopened snacks? Swabbed and tested, for what? Hard to give Disney snack bags for xmas if TSA is going to open and lick them. Thank you for posting this, I may have to rethink buying xmas goodies for my nieces and nephews (usually grab them last of the trip and put them in my carry on). How long were they taking to body screen everyone?
I was going through Sea-Tac security going back to Iraq, in uniform, when the screener confiscated my folding scissors. They said you could use them as a punch weapon. barely 1/8" protrude from the nuckles. I grabbed my leagel to board keys and showed they were worse, but rules were rules.
It was out of MCO. Lines were very long. They were just announcing in line that this is a brand new procedure all snacks had to come out of your carry on and put into a separate tray. They did not open any but they did dump one sling bag of candy. Swabed for residues. TSA was body screening every able bodied adult. Our carry on was mosly snacks. I got pulled for the TSA grope session because I forgot my luggage claim ticket in my pocket and another false positive. My hands were swabbed for residue also.
Thanks for the heads up on changing out credits with enough time to go in the hold luggage
Would have been much easier and less stressful. I put all needed items not allowed on board in my checked luggage. Just one more thing to plan for next time.
We flew out Sunday at 11: 30 am. They were giving verbal instructions so you could somewhat prepare in line. But everything was looked over swabed, even squeezed the mini Mickey pretzel bags to see if they were factory sealed.
