This week was a seminary intensive week for me (I head to St Paul for a week of class time). When I get to the airport, I like to get through security as soon as possible and just chill out on the other side. I'm normally pretty prepared for the security checkpoint - all loose stuff is zipped in my jacket pocket, laptop is out, liquids are out. This week was no different - well, almost no different. In my effort to be speedy, I forgot to take out my liquids from my carry-on bag. This flags your bag for a personal hand search.
As the TSA agent, a guy in his 20s, went through my bag, he took out my toiletry bag and started going through it. I didn't realize toothpaste was considered a liquid. I also didn't realize I hadn't emptied the bag from the last time we traveled with our boys. As he emptied the bag, he pulled out a tube of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. A parent would know that it's a great product used for diaper rash. Judging by the way he looked at me, he wasn't a parent...
