Have not flown in a while.
I know that if you place your toiletries in your carry on baggage, they have to be 3 oz. each and be in a clear plastic bag.

If I put my toiletries in my checked in luggage, does that mean I can put in bigger toiletries / hairspray / toiletries, etc?

TIA

Yes, put whatever liquids and gels you want to carry in your checked baggage.

I dont see how Reagan firing and banning all those air traffic controllers 3 decades ago could effect todays controllers. I am not defending what Reagan did (I wasnt alive back then) but wouldnt all those people be retired by now anyway. The problem has to be something in the current budget that is lacking.

the number of controllers that were fired was never made up again. Been a shortage ever since.

Thanks.
I think it's worth it to pay the $25. Last time I flew they even took my toothpaste.

It's a well-known fact that once you lose numbers...you seldom, if ever, get them back. On sceond though.....make that NEVER.

I still have yet to figure out why people thought that guy was so terrific. He did some serious damage.

Mmm-hmm. For so many things. Taking down solar panels on the White House that were put up by Carter's people. Reducing the even-for-then paltry 3% of our taxes that were to go to infrastructure (high-speed trains, etc., that other countries enjoy as just another part of everyday life) and diverting an effin' two-thirds of that to war-mongering efforts. Every other aspect of "Reaganomics" that put the U.S. on its current embarrassingly backwards path in contrast to our international peers. I often wonder where we'd be (likely still in the lead) had Bobby Kennedy not been murdered.

It gutted the profession and it has never recovered. The numbers of controllers he cut have never been made back up. A shortage has existed for 3 decades. The profession also has a high burnout rate and replacing controllers is hard as it's not a real popular profession.

Ellen and Shay, I agree, but he is on such a pedestal. For what, I can't fathom.
