Checked Luggage is for Suckers

Article about banned items still getting on planes, by mistake or by intention:
"A 33-year-old teacher, (let's call her Taffy Gotrocks of say... Santa Barbara, CA) who was traveling with her 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter, brought her cosmetics in her backpack on her flight Friday morning. At first, she admitted to a reporter that she was carrying a $75 hydrating gel in her backpack. Then, she revealed lip gloss, toothpaste, a bottle of expensive Chanel perfume and a $300 container of facial cleanser.
Screeners never noticed the items, which she had no intention of checking, she said.

"There is no way I'm putting my Chanel in a checked bag," said Ms. Gotrocks. Then she looked down at her two children, "Who knows what's in their bags? the fucking maid packed them...." as she put out a lit cigarette on little Billy's head."
