It seems like the US will allow more types lighters on planes. But that's not the interesting part. They're also updating breast milk policies soon. Soon, women can bring more than 3 oz. at a time. I found this quote interesting:

"Currently, breast milk is allowed only if a passenger is traveling with an infant."

Does this mean that you can eventually travel with breast milk if you're not traveling with an infant?

I had an experience flying back into London from Valencia. I had bought some preserves (I love St. Dalfour preserves, but not all their flavours are available here), and packed them into my backpack. The liquids ban on flights hadn't occurred to me when I bought this jar of preserves.

The security guy was a little worried by what he saw in my backpack when it went through the X-Ray machine. I guess I would be, too. It was this tubular object that obviously had some liquid in it. He told me to take it out to show him. He looked at the label, which was in Spanish, but still wasn't sure what it was. He told me to wait, and he left with my jar of preserves to discuss with some colleagues. When he came back, he was all smiles. BWAHAHA And told me I could keep it.

Oh! The coordinator of my work retreat has already gotten a shopping bus set up for Seattle!!! Is there a SuperMall in Washington?? I must do some reasearch!!
