Who can we ask to make sure?About this episode...Nearly every week or so, I see Barbers asking about what we can and cannot keep in our carry on bags when we fly. As I go through these discussions, I see many different answers, yet I don't see a lot of definitive answers, so we remain confused. In this episode, we talk about:What we can and can't carry (you'll be surprised)The limits of the shears and liquids that we carryOur options when we accidentally take something to the security line that can't go throughTalking with TSAAbout my GuestEric Guthier is a TSA Headquarters Uniformed Advisor for TSA's Administrator.
