Hi Everyone,
Rome is the latest city to begin limiting access to some of the tourist attractions. They are contemplating limiting access to the historic Trevi Fountain. It is not just a historic fountain, but a baroque masterpiece. Unfortunately it is also a magnet for hordes of travelers, Instagram influencers, TikTokers and more. Various proposals have been put forth including timed entry.-TravelPulse, 9/5/24
Reminders about items allowed by TSA:
- Medication in liquid form is allowed in carry-on bags in containers more than 3.4 ounces in reasonable amounts for the flights. However, you must tell the officer that you have medically necessary liquids at the start of the screening process and they may be subject to additional screening. It is not necessary to place medically required liquids in ziploc bags but you may want to for protection against leaks.
- is not necessary to present your medication to, or notify an officer about any medication you are traveling with unless it is in liquid form
- You can bring your medications in pill or solid form in unlimited amounts as long as it is screened.
- You can travel with your medication in both carry-on and checked baggage. It’s highly recommended you place these items in your carry-on in the event that you need immediate access.
- TSA does not require passengers to have medications in prescription bottles, but states have individual laws regarding the labeling of prescription medication with which passengers need to comply.
- Medication is usually screened by X-ray.
- Nitroglycerin tablets and spray used to treat angina are permitted.
- If you are traveling overseas, you will want to check to see if the medication needs to be in its original container. Also, many countries have different rules about what medication is allowed. It is strongly encouraged to check on that country’s website to see what is allowed.
- Most of us know that liquids have to be less than 3.4 ounces and put in a 1 quart ziplock but some may not know what “liquid” means to the TSA: Liquids including the obvious but also toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash. Less obvious liquids include gels, creams, paste or aerosols such as creamy dips, and spreads (cheeses, peanut butter, etc.) Jams, Salad dressing.
Exempt: Infant formula
As the TSA gets new technology, we will see the end to this rule, probably in the near future, but as of this writing, the above is in effect.
