By now most people have heard about the foiled terrorist plot to blow up planes with liquid explosives. TSA has the latest security measures posted on their web site. Travelers calling into Columbus’s WTVN-FM have been reporting smooth traffic at Columbus, Houston-IAH, and Detroit.

Media reports indicated that passengers may be forced to sample infant formula or milk before being permitted to fly. Is that true?

No. TSA will not ask passengers to sample fluids or beverages during the screening process. This process is being required at foreign airports and is not required at any domestic U.S. airport. Infant formula must be submitted for inspection to a TSA security officer by passengers traveling with a baby.

I have removed my toothpaste and shaving cream from my emergency kit for my flight next week.
