TSA Agent in the Burlington Vermont International Airport: Carrying any gels, solids, liquids or pastes?
Anne: Exuse me?
TSA Agent: I said, carrying any gels, solids, liquids or pastes?
Anne: Oh, um, no.
{luggage goes through metal detector}
TSA Agent: I'm afraid gonna have to open your luggage.
Anne: Oh. Ok.
TSA Agent: What's THIS?! (holds up ziplock bag of gels, solids, liquids or pastes packed in the front pocket)
Anne: What's what?
TSA Agent: You said you weren't carrying any gels, solids, liquids or pastes! And here they are!
Anne: But they're bagged together in regulation 4 oz containers in the required zip lock bag. I didn't think I had to mention it.
TSA Agent: Oh, yes, you have to declare any gels, solids, liquids or pastes. I asked you if you had them.
Anne: Whatever. They don't do this at JFK. Do you want to search the birthday cake too? That could be considered a gel, a solid, and a paste.
