TSA Adding New Restrictions on Powders
TSA screeners beginning June 30, 2018 are scrutinizing powdered substances such as dry spices, protein and baby powders making it more difficult for international passengers to carry these types of items through airport security in a carry-on. Inbound international flight passengers with 12 ounces or more of powder, may be subject to additional screening. However, if the powder cannot be identified, it may also be confiscated. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/all On the lighter side, antlers, Harry Potter wands and bowling balls are accepted in carry-on or checked bags but alcoholic beverages with more than 70% alcohol over 140 proof and Bear Spray are prohibited.

Pups Destress Travelers in LAX
After being up since 4 AM, a 12 hour flight from Rome and lost baggage we sprinted through LAX to hopefully catch our connecting flight to Phoenix. Along the way we met “Hunter” sporting a “Pet Me” red vest! Part of the LAX “Pets Unstressing Passengers” program (PUP), Hunter & his handler provided us a “PAWSitive” experience relieving our stress & anxiety. After a few hugs his little wet nose & wagging tail dropped our blood pressure and we were good to go! There are approx. 20 airports across the USA & Canada including Miami, San Francisco, Mineta San Jose, and Edmonton International Airports having therapy dogs helping frazzled flyers! We made our flight and our bags arrived undamaged on our front steps in 48 hours later…Life is Good!
