From: BubbaGump on 9 Apr 2007 12:54 Is a normal size bar of soap okay to carry-on in April 2007? I've been to the TSA web site, and I see the silly 3-oz. restrictions on toothpaste, shampoo, and even "liquid soaps", but I see no mention of a plane old bar of soap. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm Hotel bars of soap are small, and if they're the wrong brand then they might irritate my skin. I like my soap. Will I be suspected as a terrorist if I try to carry-on soap?

Chances are not, but if you approach them up front and say "is this allowed" rather then look like you're sneaking it, the worst that will happen is that you'll be asked to discard it. -- Insert something clever here.

It seems a perfectly reasonable amount to carry with you for a week's holiday If going for longer than that, you'll probably need to check a bag anyway tim > > > http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm > > Hotel bars of soap are small, and if they're the wrong brand then they > might irritate my skin.

I occasionally see news reports about airlines losing people's luggage, which is an inconvenience I weigh heavier than either using hotel soap or stopping by a grocery store near the hotel and buying soap. |
