I felt that way too at 0530 this morning, but after hearing the news, I feel differently. I feel badly for our crews working back from London, and Manchester, if and when they come back.

Wife just called me from PHL. Her crew flew in from SYR and they had all their stuff taken. One of the girls she was flying with had about $300 worth of make-up with her. They were going to take that, so she checked her bag all the way to CLT, even though they wouldn't finish their trip intil this evening. The captain recommended putting in an expense form. I've got a 3 day today, should prove fun.

How about expensive make-up, perfumes, and liquid medications that do not have a prescription label on them?
That's funny. It was my crew.
According to PHL Inflight that this am TSA was taking EVERYTHING from Crew Members, but now TSA is making Crew Members exempt from this. The only thing they are taking is Water or Soda that is in your bag!

As of what time? Because this was not the case just an hour ago.

Well what happened could have been AWFUL...but TSA has to be realistic in its response! There was a picture of one of our crews in GLA on CNN.COM...having their bags searched.
I just spoke with inflight again and the union...both say TAS is now exempting Crew Memebers from the restrictions...except for drinks.
According to our latest CBS message at 08:38:
"All stations have been advised that restrictions do not apply to uniformed crewmembers".
Background checks are meaningless. Crew members are just as likely to be terrorist mules as multi-million mile middle-aged business travelers, and they aren't allowed any liquids either.

I don't understand why one can't take a coffe or soda purchased inside the secured area on the plane. It makes no sense. Supposedly, all food items inside the secured area of the terminal have already been screened. What gives?

Not if the Crew Member has had an extesive background check and security clearance performed; as we have had.

collaborators.
What CBS message. I just checked mail and there is nothing there. I also checked TheHub and nothing there.
Airline employees (especially those working for LCC) who have given multiple rounds of concessions and are disgruntled at their low-pay are perfect terrorist mules.
Security clearance? Gimmee a break. I've got one, too. So what? Everyone is a potential terrorist. No water for you.
